“He is costing Leeds Points” Daniel Farke receive HUGE question on new SUMMER signing yet to impress after costing Leeds against BURNLEY.
Farke’s substitutions during the match didn’t have the desired effect, and in some cases, made things worse. He was forced to replace Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon in the 67th and 85th minutes, but the changes didn’t improve the situation.
Joe Rothwell, a more technical player, was paired with Ilia Gruev, which reduced Leeds’ physical presence in midfield. Joel Piroe’s role as a No.10 remains questionable, and several players struggled from the start, particularly Jayden Bogle.
Bogle, who joined Leeds for £5m, has struggled to replicate the form that led the club to sign him. He has been criticized for his performances, including conceding a penalty in the 3-3 draw against Portsmouth and being beaten regularly at Sheffield Wednesday, where Andy Hinchcliffe said he was “all over the place.”
In the match against Burnley, Bogle was slow to close down Luca Koleosho, allowing the young Burnley player to score. Former full-back Tony Dorigo was critical of Bogle’s slow reaction.
Farke needs to consider taking Bogle out of the spotlight. With alternatives like Sam Byram, who came on as a left-back, and new signing Isaac Schmidt, Farke has options. A break on the bench might help Bogle adapt to Farke’s system and the pressures of playing for Leeds.
As Leeds prepare for their next match against Cardiff, Farke should give Schmidt or the experienced Byram a chance, reminding Bogle that he has competition for the right-back spot.
