Josuha Guilavogui endured a tough outing in Leeds United’s recent FA Cup match against Millwall, with his below-par performance contributing to the team’s elimination from the competition. Despite making 10 changes to the starting lineup, manager Daniel Farke’s decision to field Guilavogui did not pay off as expected.
The French midfielder’s lackluster display included a questionable challenge that some believe should have seen him sent off earlier in the game. However, he managed to stay on the pitch until being substituted in the 69th minute. Guilavogui, who was signed as a free agent in October to provide midfield depth, has struggled to make a significant impact in his appearances for the Whites.
BBC pundit Adam Pope did not mince his words when assessing Guilavogui’s performance, emphasizing that the midfielder’s free transfer status reflected the quality of his contributions on the field. Farke, on the other hand, chose to focus on the present without delving into speculation about Guilavogui’s future at the club.
As Leeds United continue their quest for promotion to the Premier League, discussions about contracts and player futures are likely to be put on hold until the end of the season. With the team sitting at the top of the Championship table, the priority remains on securing promotion before addressing any long-term decisions.
Next up for Leeds is a crucial Championship clash against Watford at Vicarage Road, where the team will look to bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment and maintain their strong position in the league.
