Leeds United midfielder Brenden Aaronson not concerned by the team’s bad run of form
Leeds United midfielder Brenden Aaronson is not concerned by his team’s bad run of form and wants them to keep their heads held high.
Despite a great start to the campaign, Leeds United have had a slump in form and found themselves way off the pace needed to challenge in the top half of the Premier League.
Aaronson confessed that everybody’s “head dropped” after Sunday’s defeat to Crystal Palace but urged his teammates to bounce back for Sunday afternoon’s clash against Arsenal.
“It’s not a concern. It’s early in the season and I don’t think anybody is really worried,” said Aaronson as quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
“We are disappointed in the result, I think everybody is. Everybody’s head dropped afterwards but you have to keep your head high in this situation. We know we played well and just on to the next one.”
Intensity.
Leeds have lacked intensity to their game in recent outings, one which they thrived off in early season clashes against the likes of Chelsea.
It’s hard to pinpoint where this “intensity” has gone, but the team lacked ideas going forward in Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace and that is rather worrying.
It’s too early to say if Jesse Marsch isn’t the man to take this team forward, but performances need to drastically improve if Leeds are to have a successful season.
The first XI seems to just switch off at vital moments and it’s a painstaking pattern that seems to be happening week in, week out for the Whites.
The clash against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon is the perfect chance to reignite some form and put the naysayers to bed, it will be tough, but there’s no better stage right now to prove a point.
Elland Road will give Leeds the extra man on the pitch, Marsch, Aaronson and co will have to use this to their advantage.
