How Jayden Bogle was root cause of Leeds United failure in stalemate vs Crystal Palace
Jayden Bogle had a rare underwhelming outing for Leeds United against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The Englishman has been influential at right-wing-back for the Whites, but failed to make a mark at Elland Road on 20 September.
With the game ending 0-0, it wasn't one for the casual fans to see.
There wasn't much between the two in the end, but it was clear Daniel Farke's troubles stemmed from Bogle, as Palace managed to get a point away from home.
The German manager went with an unchanged starting lineup that dominated Newcastle United, but Pierre Sage's team looked up for the challenge.
By effectively nullifying the West Yorkshire outfit's strengths on the right, the Eagles countered their tactics.
One Jayden Bogle stat speaks volumes in Leeds United vs Crystal Palace
While Jayden Bogle had some impressive moments against Palace, his failure to get up the pitch regularly ultimately hurt Leeds.
Jaydee Canvot, Tyrick Mitchell and Yeremy Pino marshalled the Eagles' left side to keep the Whites' defender occupied.
Bogle lasted 67 minutes at Elland Road before Daniel James replaced him, recording 61 per cent passing accuracy, losing possession 11 times and failing to win either of his two ground duels, according to Sofascore.
The 26-year-old struggled to move the ball forward, recording a total progression of just 5.2 meters.
In contrast, Gabriel Gudmundsson recorded a total progression of 74.1 meters during his 89 minutes on the pitch.
This suggests the right-wing-back couldn't carry or pass the ball into the opponent's territory effectively and clearly looked to be the root cause of the West Yorkshire outfit's issues building-up play.
Why Elland Road masterstroke guarantees top-half Premier League finish
Despite Leeds' issues against Palace, there can be few complaints about their defence.
Tarik Muharemovic and Nico Elvedi have proven astute additions to the Whites' squad and have already shown they can handle the rigours of the Premier League.
Another player Farke can rely on to perform consistently is James Trafford, who made important saves to keep Palace from scoring.
The former Manchester City goalkeeper might end up being the most influential signing for the West Yorkshire outfit and practically makes them favourites to finish in the top 10.
If Trafford can keep his form at Elland Road, the Peacocks' prospects look incredible after an unbeaten start to the league season.
