BBC pundit gushes over Leeds United attacker Crysenscio Summerville v Arsenal
Matthew Upson has been waxing lyrical over Leeds United attacker Crysenscio Summerville in the first half against Arsenal.
Javi Gracia’s side have travelled to the Emirates to take on the league leaders on Saturday, 1 April, looking to come back with something from their travels to London.
Playing as the underdogs, Javi Gracia has asked Leeds to sit back and hit on the counter attack and that’s seen Summerville have some really good chances to break and cause the Gunners’ defence some problems.
Speaking on the Premier League world feed, Upson, a BBC pundit, said [01/04, 15:22], “This is great play. Great driving run from Summerville who’s been excellent in the opening stages of the game.”
Stay in the game
Gracia’s message to the Leeds players at half time will be to stay in the game as long as they possibly can as they’ve been threatening going forward.
The attacking players look to be combining well and Summerville even had a shot on goal after an incredible passage of play.
All that was left for the Dutchman was to apply the finishing touches on it and they will get such chances in the second half.
Marc Roca too has played an interesting role as he’s been the deepest of the three central midfielders and has often looked like a third centre-back.
He’s dropped so deep that it’s almost become a 5-4-1 without the ball and a 4-3-3 in possession – a system that looks to be working for the Whites.
They are a goal down but they can keep playing this way and they will be getting more chances to find the back of the net in the second half.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites may now be able to land a target they made an approach for in January with his club now waiting for £20million offer.
