Who's Azak ?

Rodrigo is third behind Haaland and Kane, but he's only 0.02 behind Kane

Sorry, wrong spelling.

Isak, Newcastle's £60m plus signing last summer.

Due to a serious injury, Isak has had a disruptive season, scoring six goals in ten games.

Another Rodrigo fact

Rodrigo is only the second Leeds United player to score in three consecutive league appearances against Wolves, after Allan Clarke who scored in four in a row between 1969 and 1971.

Yeah, but the other teams have been focusing on how easy it's been to score against us for the past two seasons :)

Rodrigo as Captain says it all about the lack of leaders for me.

He's no Captain, to meek and mild.

Also is his purple patch over? Since coming back from injury I think he has been absolutely awful, just dire.

Maybe he isn't fully fit?

But even before that he only had 1 goal in 5.

It's now 2 goals in 11.

Take his goals away and he is a passenger, can't hold the ball up, can't stretch the play, can't link play, can't press.

Needs to wake up and fast

But should never be Captain, isn't a Captain.

Asked in the match thread if he had touched the ball.

He did

5 times in 26 minutes

1 touch every 5 minutes

Made 3 passes (100% accurate)

Might be the most ineffective substitute in history

Pretty certain you were calling for him and Rutter to come on. Our forward line is pants with the way we are playing - they are having to play as target men because we have played into a punting the ball upfield team. We do not have anyone who can play that role effectively - here is the pragmatic football you were crying out for.

You can knock the forwards till doomstay but spiderboy has turned into jellyboy and without a firm foundation you will not win a game.

He has cost us points all season and is getting worse.
Kiko would be an upgrade as would BPF.

Every keeper goes through at least one form crisis in their career. His confidence is shot, which affects his decision making. Once the decision making goes mistakes are inevitable.

I agree that he has gifted goals and should be taken out of the team. Whether it actually makes a difference is anyone’s guess.

Kiko was an under rated keeper for us, great shot stopper, he'd have got to Salah's second goal for Liverpool...
