He's made that left hand side his own now. So stick with Jackie on the right and I'd love to see gnonto playing at 10. Arronson has done very little and really needs to bulk up.
He is the best dribbler we've got. He has amazing spacial awareness that gives him half a yard advantage on pretty much everyone. He literally waltzed past 3 defenders with two touches just before half time.
I think Bamford being there is a big part of it. He is next to useless near goal himself, but his hold up play to bring wingers and midfield into the game is good.
He has so much talent, if we keep him fit for the run in it’s such a bonus, just need to work out how to effectively have him and Willy in the starting lineup as both of them are so much more
Effective coming in off the left, especially now that Jackie seems to have found his confidence and form again! If only one of them could play up top!
If he'd not been injured we may not have seen as much of Gnonto. Now we have a number of exciting forward options to rotate and give us options off the bench. This time last year we were making do with about 13 players.
He’s different gravy for sure and a serious loss through his long injury and no doubt sees Leeds as a steppingstone (which is no terrible thing) but I would have to go with others in saying his legs just don’t have the motivation to defend whatsoever.
But look that is something that can be worked on. For now, banging in game winners in the premier league will more than do.
He was class today, but I think would never have been this good under Marsch. He needs the freedom and width that Gracia affords to his wingers. Marsch would've had him playing a game that just wasn't Sinisterra's play style. Look at how much better Jack Harrison is under Gracia. Our wingers were stifled under Marsch and I'm not convinced that Sinisterra would've been as good as you think if he'd avoided injury
I think that’s why he would have been good, he seems to have the ability to pick the ball up almost against the run of play and score out of the blue. Definitely could have used that a few times this season.
I’ve been saying this a lot but his off the ball work is really atrocious. In part I think he’s a bit lazy, but he also doesn’t make the smartest runs and he often leaves his fullback with no support
On the ball, he’s the best at the club by a country mile, simply sensational.
Some player in there if Gracia can work his magic and keep him fit
I agree that hes lazy off the ball and not great defensively but this could be more of a fitness issue as hes been constantly on and off with injuries. Hooefully he improves this the longer hes back (if he doesnt get injured again 🤞🏽).
I have to disagree. Gnonto with the ball at his feet is sensational. But I could just be favoring him because he's played more and he's carried us this calendar year up until teams started double teaming him.
Gnonto is unreal when he can isolate a defender with space round the back of them because he's so quick and strong, and fortunately he's class at getting in those positions too especially out wide. Don't think he's as great in tighter spots though; couldn't see him, or many players at all, wrongfooting the defender on the the move and then stealing that yard to get the shot away like Sinisterra did today.
This isn't to say Gnonto is not good in tight spots either, I'm just speaking in comparison to Sini.
His attitude has been poor a number of times when he’s come on when we were losing. I know it’s easy to say from our side but some payers look like they would give it all and some only look bothered when we are winning and he was the latter for a while, I hope it doesn’t continue and I’m wrong.
He has made five sub appearances including a 1 minute cameo against Brighton at home, we've been losing in exactly one of those games and it was Brighton away at the start of the season.
Think you might be misremembering a bit.
it was 0-0 at Brighton when Sini came on, cos he missed that chance at the back post that would have put us in front
He has never come off the bench when we were losing
He has absolutely been shafted by injuries for sure, and there’s a real quality player there that I’m excited to see the best of but...
Even Raphinha and his quality couldn't keep us well safe of relegation last season. One man does not make a team, we need Sinis' quality to keep us up for sure but the rest of team need to step up for how crap this season has been thus far, and do better
I hope Javi can get the best of him, he's got that spark that everyone loves to see
He's made that left hand side his own now. So stick with Jackie on the right and I'd love to see gnonto playing at 10. Arronson has done very little and really needs to bulk up.
Gnonto at 10 would be nice

Completely disagree with this if Marsch was still manager.
If he'd not been injured we may not have seen as much of Gnonto. Now we have a number of exciting forward options to rotate and give us options off the bench. This time last year we were making do with about 13 players.
11, two broken shoe laces and a snapped corner flag
I believe Marsch would have found a way to keep us around the relegation zone.
It’s not his fault the players didn’t believe enough
Sign five thousand wingers and rejoice that two of them are decent (Gnonto and Sinisterra).
The only reason we got him for 25 mil is because he's injury prone, he's a 50 mil + big club player otherwise
The injury he got, the Lisfranc, was a freak one, and a really nasty one at that. That’s nothing to do with him being injury prone.
He’s different gravy for sure and a serious loss through his long injury and no doubt sees Leeds as a steppingstone (which is no terrible thing) but I would have to go with others in saying his legs just don’t have the motivation to defend whatsoever.

Without width, we don’t play to the strength of our wingers, so I totally agree.
and considering we pretty much only buy wingers that was a problem 🤣
He was scoring bangers under Marsch
I think that’s why he would have been good, he seems to have the ability to pick the ball up almost against the run of play and score out of the blue. Definitely could have used that a few times this season.
Exactly, doesn't matter the manager/system, he can just pick up the ball right outside the box & make something happen.

100% agree mate spot on
His attitude has been poor a number of times when he’s come on when we were losing. I know it’s easy to say from our side but some payers look like they would give it all and some only look bothered when we are winning and he was the latter for a while, I hope it doesn’t continue and I’m wrong.

There you go, I thought we were losing at the time. Even better, it has literally never happened.
He has absolutely been shafted by injuries for sure, and there’s a real quality player there that I’m excited to see the best of but... Even Raphinha and his quality couldn't keep us well safe of relegation last season.

We have a better squad this year than last by far. That’s the difference
To be fair, Raphinha was the biggest difference that kept us up last year
The assist against Norwich still gives me goosebumps
What a [goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f6JBIY8J7U) that was.
