So Leif Davis weighs 0kg? No wonder he's fast AF!! Seriously, though, I wonder what his defensive stats are. If he spends so much time up top, what gaps are left behind him, & does it cause them problems. Genuine question, as I haven't watched him closely. Still disappointed we let him go. At one time, he was the fastest player at ER, & played LB & CB for the u23s. And played well!
Being a massive problem at the club ever since Marsch got shut of him. It’s like Marsch wanted anyone who Bielsa thought was a huge potential was binned. On a Left back issue why would you get rid of Leif Davies and NIALL Huggins leaving the club with just Firpo. I know it was only the 23s as was but the best defence anywhere in the country at that level was Drameh, Cresswell, Struijk and Davies or Huggins and guess what they all played in various positions. Davies LB, RB, LW, RW, Cresswell CB or DM, Drameh RB, CB, RB and Midfield and RW. These kids under Bielsa were taught a different brand But gotten rid of
Although Farke doesn’t seem to rate Cresswell. Personally I think he has that physicality we seem to lack at the back sometimes. I think he may have won the header for the Coventry equaliser. Of course I could also be talking nonsense but he just seemed right for this division.
Wouldn’t want Huggins back. He’s another right footed left back and we’ve enough of those already ffs
Probably doesn’t fit Farke’s playing out from the back strategy of Meslier to CB to CB to Meslier to CB to CB to Meslier repeat repeat repeat… Cresswell would get bored with that as we all do, and just launch it forward. That’s not allowed unfortunately.
FARKE was asked about Cresswell at the weekend and he said Charlie is ready to go, always ready to go and we need him. I dont believe him and Inthink there are around 9 players with agents rethinking their plans at Leeds, watch this space . Gruev, Gnonto, Cresswell, Gelhardt, Hjelde, Klaessen, Shackelton, Poveda, Greenwood and thats before we get into the likes of McGurk, Allen, Montiero, Bate, Perkins
Okay. But out of all those who would you want in the first team and who do you think they should replace?
I would take Davies and Huggins for the vacant LB spot which then puts Byram and Spence where they should be I would have used Cresswell Gruev and Gnonto more already to freshen it up. Cresswell doesn’t even get on the bench yet we still see Ayling and Cooper who lets face it wont be here next season
