Daniel Farke has clear Jayden Bogle problem after new Leeds reveal
Daniel Farke may have to drop Jayden Bogle from Leeds’ starting line-up in the near future.
Leeds’ chances of staying in the Premier League have decreased after the 3-0 loss to Brighton last time out.
Bogle was below par in the Whites’ defeat at the Amex Stadium, and his performance may give Farke questions about his position going forward.
A new stat reveal from Elland Road may make the manager’s mind up about replacing his starting right-back.
Jayden Bogle will surely fear for his starting spot at Leeds
Bogle was baffled when he was replaced in Leeds’ 3-0 loss to Brighton, but he might be fearing for his place in the team after new stats emerged.
Bogle ranks as the fourth-worst defender in terms of being dribbled past among those to have played over five matches in the top-flight.
He is dribbled past 1.24 times per 90 minutes, according to Sofascore, with only Kieran Trippier, Pedro Porro and Lutsharel Geertruida above him in that metric.
What alternatives does Daniel Farke have?
That reveal is concerning, as Bogle is seen as one of the cornerstones of Farke’s side.
What may be even more concerning is the fact that the only replacements in the squad are James Justin and Sam Byram.
- Bogle signed for Leeds in July 2024 from Sheffield United for a reported £5million fee
- He has made 56 appearances for the Whites
- He notched six goals and five assists in the Championship promotion-winning campaign last season
Neither of those options are starting calibre in the top-flight, so Farke may hold his horses on making a ruthless decision at the moment.
However, with the winter transfer window opening soon, Bogle’s place in the team may come under serious threat.
Leeds surely have to be active in the market to help their survival chances, and full-back may be a position that they decide to strengthen, especially after the dismal Bogle reveal.
It may be curtains for the 25-year-old if he does not improve in the next few matches, as the numbers suggest that he is one of the worst right-backs in the league.
