Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
Anyone else disappointed with Aaronson (again!) when he came on? Guy is so lightweight and so little end product, really not sure if he's cut out for the Prem. Can Rutter play his role, because I'd be benching Brendan for now, he's offering nothing that I can see.

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
Don’t get me wrong SG90, I’m not saying the goal shouldn’t have been chalked off, but the ball still hit the back of our net and was ruled out on no more than a technicality. It was, in my opinion, a correct decision by VAR in the end (for once) but on another day, I could see that it might have been gone against us especially if it had been scored by a more fancied Premier League team.
Our attack, all of a sudden since Gnonto’s arrival, looks Premier League top six class but we can’t bury our heads in the sand and say that our defence, as it stands, is up to Premier League standard, something has to be done.

He’s certainly been lacklustre of late but I, for one, am prepared to keep the faith as far as Aaronson is concerned. He has shown previously that he is up to the job and I think he’s just going through a temporary loss of form.lufc1304 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:29 am Anyone else disappointed with Aaronson (again!) when he came on?

This occasion I wouldn't blame Marsch, the Cooper/Koch, Aaronson and the Pascal errors I would be, they were errors created by the system1964white wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:05 am As I mentioned yesterday, every one of our defenders are culpable of making daft errors, another one to add to the fiasco collection.
For the umpteenth time, Ayling is not a CB, although any defender should be dealing with that ball comfortably.
I'm sure a minority will be blaming Marsch for Luke's mess-up & Roca's handball.... who would be a manager?

He seemed to know a lot about our buy to sell model but that would be ridiculous.
Also I think it was Lee Dixon who said he’d seen Rutter play a few times. A real talent but very raw.
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
Can we not do the whole this player is s**t thing yet again, Aaronson has a lot of quality but struggling for form at the moment. He'll be back. Was maybe our best player till the Queens funeral break

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
He started the season really well, but has regressed. Hopefully temporary, but I do think a spell on the bench might be best for him as it looks like he's trying too hard and nothing is working for him.Byebyegeegee wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:44 am He’s certainly been lacklustre of late but I, for one, am prepared to keep the faith as far as Aaronson is concerned.

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
Brenda lightweight, runs into rabbit holes, holds on to the ball too long with very little end product.lufc1304 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:29 am Anyone else disappointed with Aaronson (again!) when he came on?

Needs to build his body weight up to play at this level as defenders are eating up for breakfast.
Gnonto is the complete opposite to Aaronson.

Different players, Leon, with different strengths, but Brendan could certainly do with some gym work. Willie, on the other hand, wouldn't look out of place in a boxing gym!!!!

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
He was on the bench last night, of course, but it begs the question, do you give him plenty of game time so that he can try to play himself back into form or do you leave him out to stew for a while in the hope that he’ll come back with more purpose and a new lease of life? I don’t know!

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
It's s tricky one, maybe a couple of reserve games the answer? I dunno, who'd be a manager, eh?Byebyegeegee wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 11:36 am He was on the bench last night, of course, but it begs the question, do you give him plenty of game time so that he can try to play himself back into form or do you leave him out to stew for a while in the hope that he’ll come back with more purpose and a new lease of life?

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
I believe Aaronson just needs more time than some of the other new players to adapt to the Premier League. His lightweight build as many say doesn't help him at this level but if he bulks up a bit and learns quickly he has a lot of talent and will get better.
A spell on the bench wouldnt do him any harm at all.

Re: Leeds Utd 5-2 Cardiff City Match Debate
Aaronsen seems a different player since he came back from the World Cup where he saw very little game time.
Was one of our best players in the early part of the season.
No reason why he can't replicate that and find some form.
With the new acquisitions and players returning from injury, he is in a scrap to get a starting position which is the way it should be.
