From Marsch's days at Salzburg, he mentions Bielsa/Leeds at about 8:20ish: Link <https://youtu.be/Idkb0c8-W58>. From this presentation I can see the tactical appeal, and some of the crossover between him and Bielsa.
Obviously, if Marsch can't get the players to follow his tactical ideas, and doesn't get his team selection/subs right, that's on him.
