Good Morning. It's Friday 20th September, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road Have Leeds overdone it with wide players Most of Leeds Summer budget was spent on wide players, but with only limited spending funds, should they have spread their expenditure more evenly? Leeds can only use two from four (Solomon, Ramazini, Gnonto and James) unless the Farke wants to experiment. All four would comfortably make it into the starting line-ups of almost every other Championship side. Whilst it's a nice problem to have, the difference in quality is not huge so dropping one for another is not going to improve the quality of the line-up! Square pegs in round roles has never been the gaffer's forte - we learnt that last season with Rutter and Piroe. The Whites are missing a specialist No10, and proven goal scorer; positions on the pitch desperately lacking from Farke's squad. Since returning to the Championship, we've leant the hard way how difficult it is to break down teams content to get ten men behind the ball! please log in to view this image If Ramazani starts who gets dropped? After the 1-0 loss to Burnley, Daniel Farke is under pressure to introduce Largie Ramazani to the fold. The former Belgium U21 star has been restricted to 28 minutes of game time (across two games) since his £10m Summer move from Almeria last month. We learnt from yesterday's press conference that he may be carrying a knock, which may have restricted his game time - but the big question still remains; when finally fit, who gets dropped to make way for him? Manor Solomon may have been at fault for Burnley scoring last weekend, but for the most part has been Leeds most creative player since joining from Spurs. Gnonto too has plenty to offer. His close ball control, creativity and link up play would make it difficult to drop the Italian International. He could move to an unfamiliar no10 role, but would that be fair on Arronson, our leading goal scorer this season. What happens when Dan James returns? The Welsh International may be one of Leeds most underrated players. His 13 goals and eight assists played a massive part in Leeds promotion push last season. please log in to view this image
Ive always said it were a far poorer side without an in form DanJames. His form dipped after the Wales Euros fiasco last season and we weren't nearly the same
The tempo of the press when attacking; is not as strong this season when teams park the bus, we can't find a way through as easily as before due in part I think to a lesser standard of attacking prowess
Afternoon all I think we’re too defensive with 4-2-3-1 4 wide players we pick and two 4 central midfielders, we pick any two so for me the balance is fine
