Danny Mills has advised Leeds United fans to be “careful” about taking anything for granted following their team’s return to form. The Whites have won four of their previous six games and presently sit third in the Championship, three points behind league leaders Sunderland. Mills spoke live on Sky Sports News (23 October, 19:38pm) about Leeds’ aspirations following what he heard after the 2-1 win over Watford on Tuesday. “I was there last night, and the supporters were saying ‘we’ll go for a run now,’ and I was thinking’steady on’. “You’re 11 games into the season, so be careful,” he…

Leeds United have found a new creative force in Brenden Aaronson this season. While Daniel Farke spent much of the summer transfer window hunting for a new number 10, the US international has subsequently claimed the position. Bids for players like Gustavo Hamer [The Star, 11 October] were made, but looking back, it’s difficult to understand how Farke could drop Aaronson for the Brazilian if a deal came together. His recent performance in Leeds’ 2-1 victory over Watford at Elland Road on Tuesday (22 October) has only strengthened his position in Farke’s squad. Brenden Aaronson is now vital to Leeds…
RB Leipzig’s manager, Marco Rose, was critical of his team after their Champions League loss to Liverpool on Wednesday evening. Marco Rose blamed his RB Leipzig players for their Champions League defeat at home to Liverpool. Darwin Nunez’s first-half goal was enough to secure the Reds a 1-0 win in Germany on Wednesday night, extending their perfect start to the campaign. Leipzig, on the other hand, has lost all three games and was outplayed for long stretches by Arne Slot’s side before failing to capitalise on many spells of pressure in the final stages. Rose thinks the Bundesliga team fell…
Morgan Gibbs-White earned his first England cap in September after excellent performances for Nottingham Forest. Marlon Harewood believes that transfer speculation around ‘top-class’ Morgan Gibbs-White is not always a bad thing for Nottingham Forest. Gibbs-White, who was suspended for Monday’s game against Crystal Palace, has established himself as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders, earning his first England cap in September. The 24-year-old has been linked with moves to Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur in the last year, but former Forest fan favourite Harewood hopes he will stay with the club and become a legend. “The last couple of years…
Leeds United needed a new midfielder at the end of August and signed View from Fortuna Dusseldorf late in the window, but he has not disappointed. When the club had to transfer Archie Gray to Tottenham at the start of July, just as he was about to become an Elland Road star, it appeared to be a disaster. Replacing someone of generational quality while also releasing Glen Kamara, another key component in last season’s 90-point campaign, appeared to be a tough order for Leeds to complete. Ao Tanaka is proving to be a bargain at £2.95 million. Leeds signed Ao…
Leeds United have had a reasonably strong start to the Championship season and are just where they should be, in the thick of the race for the top two. If Manor Solomon hadn’t slipped against Burnley, Leeds had grabbed their chances against Portsmouth, and Illan Meslier hadn’t made a mistake against Sunderland, Daniel Farke’s side might be in first place. However, following Friday night’s fantastic 2-0 win over Sheffield United, Leeds are now in third place. On 69 minutes, Joe Rothwell and Pascal Struijk broke Leeds’ eight-month drought of not scoring from a corner. A set-piece routine that Farke said…
All things considered, it’s difficult to say that Liverpool and Arne Slot didn’t deserve to win against Chelsea, even if the visitors shined at Anfield. Despite losing, Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side demonstrated how far they’ve gone under their new boss by seizing the lead against Liverpool early on. In that regard, Liverpool also passed a significant test; many still pointed out that Slot had not to face a ‘top’ side despite his success in England thus far. But, with Curtis Jones at the core of their performance, Liverpool demonstrated their willingness to go all the way in the title battle,…
Nottingham Forest’s long international break ended last night, as Crystal Palace arrived on Trentside. Forest drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last time out, and the team has eight points out of a possible twelve away from home. Forest’s home form needs to improve, and tonight’s game against a Palace squad that has yet to win this season provides an opportunity to do so. Evangelos Marinakis interviewed Oliver Glasner prior to Nuno Espirito Santo’s appointment, and he is determined to win tonight. Forest, on the other hand, are looking for their first home win and will be hoping that…
Leeds United’s win over Sheffield United was a clear indication of purpose from Daniel Farke’s side, as well as a significant boost to the squad’s injury situation, with two vital players returning. Leeds not only defeated a Yorkshire rival but also a fellow promotion prospect, putting a stop to Chris Wilder’s unblemished season. However, Manor Solomon and Dan James came off the bench due to recent injuries. Mateo Joseph scored for the second time this season, while Joel Piroe contributed an assist. Pascal Struijk scored Leeds’ first set-piece goal in eight months. Everything was looking good ahead of a quick…
Nottingham Forest have frequently expressed dissatisfaction with officials’ and VAR decisions this season, and Howard Webb is going to ruffle some feathers with his thoughts on one incident. Nuno Espirito Santo and Nottingham Forest have grown accustomed to FA charges in recent years, with Evangelos Marinakis even receiving one for his Brighton reaction. The FA’s most recent ruling involved a social media message made by Forest directed against Stuart Attwell. VAR decisions haven’t improved the mood among officials at City Ground. Murillo was found to have committed a foul in the Fulham game, and Anthony Elanga’s appeal for a penalty…
