Leeds United fans appear split as to whether Brenden Aaronson should keep his place in the starting line-up during a difficult period. The attacking midfielder has just one goal to his name since the turn of the year and in recent meetings with Sunderland, Sheffield United and West Brom he was hooked early with his side needing to score.
Aaronson has started every league game since the 2-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday in August with only two outfielders - Jayden Bogle and Joe Rodon - racking up more minutes. The 24-year-old has looked tireless for most of the campaign and always gives 110 per cent, but his final product has undoubtedly been lacking.
Leeds don’t have another natural No.10, but there are a few square pegs many think would fit quite nicely into a round hole, namely Willy Gnonto or Largie Ramazani. And so the YEP posed a question to fans on social media, asking if they agree or disagree that other options should be tested - and there was plenty of debate on either side.
7. @battery_pv - Selection dilemmas elsewhere
His work off the ball has been immense. Have to disagree. Rothwell v Gruev works better for me with Rothwell coming on as sub. Had his chance yesterday (vs West Brom) and went missing (with the others in midfield) after we scored. Ramazani needs a bit of game time soon as well IMO. | Getty Images
8. @Bain360 - Trust the process
Played very well at Watford then played some difficult games where teams reduce the space he usually operates in…he’ll be fine. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire
9. @con_chords - Alternatives lacking
Disagree - because there are no other feasible options. The club chose not to address 10 or striker in the window. Joseph isn’t good enough to start up front for a team wanting promotion to the Prem. And Bamford isn’t fit. Photo: Ben Roberts Photo
10. @LowfieldsLad77 - support the lads
No, he’s contributed to a very good season for us so far though & deserves our support. As they all do. Lot of talk about backing the manager & players this season…..now’s when it really matters! | Getty Images
11. @juniorzalazo - Not doing enough
Gnonto or Ramazani deserve a chance to prove they can do better. A 10 should offer more than Aaronson has done recently. | Getty Images
12. @liamgale - Enough goals from elsewhere
His work off the ball has been immense for Leeds this season. Not great with it but the front 3 have been doing the business for him. | Gary Oakley/PA Wire
