Same players get blamed every week when we don’t win, it’s always Meslier, Aaronson, Bamford or Piroes fault.

He does miss some saveable ones but harsh to give Meslier stick for the Millwall game

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Mon Nov 11, 2024 6:02 pm  

Like I said I didn`t see the Millwall game so cannot comment on his performance.
Overall though I do not think he is good enough and we should have got someone better and that someone isn`t Darlow.
But we are stuck with him this season.
Read an article on Sunday that says Aaronson lost 14 of his 19 duels on Saturday and is the most dispossessed player in the Championship attributing it to his lack of physicality.
Personally thought he had a decent game.
Piroe does get some stick but overall I don`t think he is as bad as what people think and his scoring ratio is right up there.

ramazani?

Think Ramazani is right footed Tad. He’s another one of these fashionable ‘inverted’ wingers. That means we have James, Gnonto, Ramazani and Solomon all right footers playing out wide, with three of them playing mostly on their “wrong” side. Like I said, I think it’s poor recruitment and kills momentum and the shape of the team with players constantly checking back to try and work the ball onto their stronger foot when they should be getting outside of defences and crossing the ball. Yes we want quality players like Ramazani, and we want strength in depth, but to not have a genuine left footed wide player is negligent and pretty strange at this level. I don’t know if it’s Farke’s preference to play with inverted wingers, or the players telling Farke where they prefer to play, but I think it kills us at times. The likes of Saka at Arsenal prefer to play that way, and he had a pet lip on when he was asked to fill in wide left for England in the World Cup. He then went on to play as an inverted right winger in the final and got marked out of the game by a player that couldn’t even get a game with his Premiership team. There’s a lesson right there.

Solomon is predominantly left footed but can use both. look at his cross for the joseph goal v hull https://youtu.be/Ik1K6y9Ewqo?si=Kf8Dx6v_HASDFsaC

and let's not forget how many a right footed summerville scored from the left last season.

Yeah he;s doing ok is Aaronson, he's scored nearly as many as Rutter did all last season already so gives us more in that regard. I think he's got better physically but he'll never be great in that regard, it's his weakness no doubt.

Piroe i think comes into his own when defences are tiring a bit due to his lack of mobility, but he's always been a player who drifts in and out of games, but hes a really good goal scorer. Just a shame he doesn't have the legs. That 9 position for Leeds still hasn't quite been sorted, we need the attributes of Joseph, Bamford and Piroe combined into one but that will have to wait until we get back to the Prem

A Joe Jordan type of centre forward would do me or dare I say it Chris Wood. I`ll not mention Moore this time

I think bamford needs shifting first and I'm not sure he has any intention of moving on

Big wages Tad. To be fair to him, he gave us some good times under Bielsa, he was brilliant for a couple of years.. deserves a fair send off from fans.
