Daniel Farke has explained the tactical tweak he made to his squad to destroy Wolves in just 45 minutes
Daniel Farke has made the bold decision to keep Brenden Aaronson in the Leeds United lineup to face Wolves. The Whites will be looking to end their poor away form at the Molineux.
Vitor Pereira’s side will also be hoping to put their first points of the season on the board. With fans not pleased with the last result against Fulham, the pressure is more on Daniel Farke than the Wolves boss.
Leeds welcomed Joel Piroe back to the matchday squad after he missed the last game with an issue.
Daniel Farke explains Brenden Aaronson selection
On Thursday, Daniel Farke addressed a lot of concerns surrounding the team, especially the attacking side. The Whites are yet to score from open play so far. Brenden Aaronson will start against Wolves, and Farke already gave a reason for his inclusion during the press conference.
”I didn’t expect Brenden to cut Fulham apart on his own, Fulham had an aggressive left side and I wanted a player to support our right-back.
”Credit to Brenden, Sessegnon was not effective and Iwobi was substituted.
”We know he has challenges with decision-making, being a bit clearer.
”This is something you can work on, it’s not like I press a button and he’s a completely different player, it’s more like to bring him in training into positions where he has to make decisions.
”In the end, he has to deliver or a different player will get the chance.
”Because he is so on it, he perhaps loses a bit of calmness. It’s also not helpful if everyone is on his back and always criticising.
”As long as a player works hard and does his tactical job I’m happy, but he also has to improve his offensive outcome.
Leeds United need something different in attack
Aaronson will start to fulfill defensive duties down the flank, but in Leeds’ current state they need much more than that. A team who cannot score a goal to save their lives in the last three league games need players who can affect the game up the pitch. Leeds should hope Aaronson delivers on Saturday to justify Daniel Farke’s decision.
