Leeds could move on from Solomon by unleashing “immense” £30k-p/w star in new role –

Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke was dealt yet another injury blow in the build-up to the 0-0 draw with Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday.

 

Largie Ramazani suffered an ankle injury in the win over Watford and is now set for a spell on the sidelines, joining Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, and Max Wober.

 

The Whites head coach opted to go with Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James on the wing against the Robins, and both missed a ‘big chance’ in the goalless draw.

Manor Solomon was brought off the bench in the second half of the game in an attempt to make a difference but the Tottenham Hotspur loanee struggled to make an impact.

Manor Solomon’s recent struggles for Leeds

Since registering an assist on his debut for the Whites against Hull City, the Israel international has failed to record a goal or an assist in four appearances.

 

In 19 minutes off the bench against Bristol City, Solomon failed his only dribble attempt, did not register a shot on goal, and failed to create any chances for his teammates.

In his last four Championship outings for the West Yorkshire outfit, the Spurs loanee has scored zero goals and not created a single ‘big chance’ for his teammates.

 

Farke could move on from the struggling flop, however, by unleashing one of his other stars in a new role. Junior Firpo has thrived in an attacking role for his country and could be deployed further up the pitch, to make an impact on the wing ahead of Solomon in the pecking order.

Why Junior Firpo should be unleashed in a new role

Firstly, Sam Byram came in for the suspended Firpo against Bristol City and put in a fantastic performance at left-back in his place for Leeds.
