Phil Hay expressed disbelief at the fact that Georginio Rutter is nearing 20 assists for Leeds United this season, calling it “completely ridiculous”. Speaking on The Square Podcast, he noted that Leeds showed flashes of brilliance in their 2-0 win over Millwall, with Rutter playing a key role in setting up both goals.
Hay praised Daniel Farke’s team for their impressive performance, stating that they have become a tough side to compete with in the division. He applauded the individual contributions of players like Rutter, who has almost reached 20 assists alone, and highlighted the challenge that mid-table and relegation-threatened clubs face when coming up against a team of Leeds’ quality.
Rutter’s excellent display against Millwall further showcased his talent as he assisted both goals, taking his tally to 18 for the season. Despite a less than stellar first half performance from Leeds, they have the depth and skill to secure victories even when not playing at their best.
The win propelled Farke’s side to the top of the Championship table, with the manager hoping for continued consistency from his players after the international break. Looking ahead, Leeds are reportedly open to selling a midfielder for £10.3 million following his comments to the media.
