Leeds United Chat • Re: Luke Ayling

He's been a good player for the club Bill. He was instrumental to the way Bielsa wanted to play in attack, i think that attacking side of his game is his strongest part and maybe that limits him in defence, but there is no excuses for getting out jumped in the box. They are the fundamentals. Its not like the geezer who did him is on the physical side.

If we play a three of Adams Roca Mack and when we are not with the ball... i wonder if Roca could play the old Phillips role, drop back into a three and let Bill and Firpo push wide and mark their men before they get the ball. Too many times Bill is trying to get out but he gets there too late or the ball is played into the space down the sides and he's not the best 1-1 when someone is running at him. Nip it in the bud by cutting down the space out wide.
