Only needed a decent finisher today (well, maybe for a few seasons) but Radz ain't keen to parting with his £450 million retirement fund is he.

Talented as he is Rodrigo is no central striker and his limitations in that role showed throughout the first-half.
Saka's goal was what a clinical striker can give.


We start with 4-2-3-1, so Adams & Roco with Harrison, Aaronson & Sinisterra BUT only Sinisterra playing on the left wing with Harrison awol in the 10 role with Aaronson in the middle, so NO right winger again.

1. Nothing AGAIN happened on the right, so as per-usual Kristensen moves into space on the right but has nobody near him to pass to or play a one-two !
2. Second-half starts with Harrison on the right & Aaronson playing the 10 role but Harrison never touched the ball until finally being replaced by Klich.
3. JM 'eventually' gets Summerville on but instead of using his pace on the right wing, he's put into a central role ?
4. So then we've Kristensen and Klich on the right (neither has pace) so nobody to go past a tiring Gunners defence !
5. Why was Lord B designated penalty taker today is another strange decision ?

Any Positives ?
We're still creating chances.
Passing was much better.

So yes, a JM's Leeds team are not easily daunted & have a persistent willingness to press opponents high up the pitch with an eager eye to counter‑attack which today Defo interrupted Arsenal’s mo-jo flow - so for the neutral I suppose created a high-tempo end to end game to watch but NO points for us die-hards.

Negatives ?
Not taking advantage of opportunities.It was notable as Bamford walked towards the box prior penalty that Gabriel accompanied him 'evidently having a few 'unsettling words' in his ear'. It was such a blatant attempt to put Bamford off & it worked as it was over hit and curved away.
What's new - well nuffink up front when it mattered (again), striker wise anyway.
