Daniel Farke may make some adjustments to Joel Piroe’s role or potentially leave him out altogether when Leeds United takes on Plymouth Argyle. Piroe was the focal point of the attack in their last match against Bristol City, but with three consecutive goalless starts, speculation arises about Mateo Joseph potentially returning to the starting lineup.
Don Goodman, while praising Farke’s handling of young players, suggests that Piroe could be shifted to a number 10 role or placed on the bench. The luxury of having various attacking options allows Farke to make these decisions based on form and performance.
Piroe, with four goals and two assists in 12 Championship appearances, has the ability to play both as a number nine and a number 10. However, with the recent goal drought, it is possible that Joseph could be chosen to lead the attack against Plymouth. Farke’s decision will ultimately determine whether Piroe plays a different role or possibly sits out in favor of other options like Brenden Aaronson.
Ultimately, the power lies with Farke as he seeks to find the best setup for Leeds United’s attack in their upcoming match.
