Leeds United reignited their hopes of automatic promotion and an immediate return to the Premier League on Monday night, but Georginio Rutter’s play is becoming a source of concern.
Leeds rallied from behind to win 4-3 at The Riverside in front of Luke Ayling, who is on loan at Middlesbrough. A important win saw Leeds overtake Ipswich to second place in the Championship.
Since then, Leicester has, of course, placed both hands on the Championship trophy without lifting it aloft. A 5-0 victory over Southampton puts them four points ahead with two games remaining.
Leeds will need every player to be firing on all cylinders if they are to earn two wins in a row and put pressure on Ipswich Town. Leeds will play again on Friday, before Ipswich face Hull City on Saturday.
Tony Dorigo criticized Leeds’ Georginio Rutter on Monday.
It offers Leeds the opportunity to go four points clear, although with two games in hand. However, they will need Rutter to return to his best form before the. Yes, against Boro, the Frenchman won a penalty for Leeds’ opening goal.
However, his overall performance was concerning. Far from the player we’ve grown to love and like. Indeed, the statistics show it: he was dispossessed five times, and his passing rate was a dismal 50%.
Indeed, it was Rutter’s failure to keep the ball up that led to Boro’s second goal, when Emmanuel Latte Lath hammered one into the corner past Illan Meslier. Tony Dorigo criticized him on LUTV.
“The finish is excellent, but unsatisfactory from our perspective. Meslier could have performed a little better. “The defense tries to hold him up and keep him outside the box,” Dorigo remarked during LUTV’s broadcast of the game.
“Georgi, you need to do better in these situations. He has gotten away with losing the ball in bad situations previously, but not this time. Meslier should save it,” Dorigo, a former Leeds player, commented of Rutter.
What other commentators have stated about Rutter’s form; statistics are low.
If you don’t include winning a penalty as an assist, which is unfair, Rutter has now gone six games without a goal or an assist. Unlike a player who previously contributed 25 goals and assists this season.
Aidy White said he should have been dropped or rested before the 1-0 loss against Blackburn. In retrospect, he was probably correct. Don Goodman stated he is one of four players who have lost form in recent weeks.
Rutter needs to forget about his recent games. Perhaps you should quit trying so hard. Believe in his abilities and, ahead of QPR, give him the freedom to play his own game and return to his spectacular best.
