da stake casino: For the longest time, Leeds United have had a striker problem.
da poker: Patrick Bamford seemed like the most maligned forward in the country during periods last season, and you can understand why as he underperformed his xG by 18 and missed a plethora of big chances throughout the campaign.
Fortunately, Bamford has finally found his shooting boots, netting three in five to open this season, and the £27m addition of Rodrigo seems to have alleviated United’s attacking woes.
However, on Tuesday we saw one man who may stake his claim to be United’s first-choice forward in the near future.
Indeed, Ryan Edmondson has long been touted as a future star at Leeds, and fans have wanted to see him in the first-team for a number of years now.
You can understand why too, Edmondson netted 20 goals for the U23s in the 2018/19 campaign, which is an incredible return considering he was just 17 years old for the majority of that season.
The teenager is incredibly physically gifted for his age, being described by LeedsLive as tall, strong and powerful with a reputation for bullish aggressive play up top.
This season he’s finally got his first chance to play regular senior football having been sent out on loan to Aberdeen. While he’s had a slow start to life in Scotland, he seemed to finally find his stride on Tuesday.
Edmondson scored twice and got an assist as Aberdeen dismantled Hamilton Academical 4-2. The 19-year-old barely put a foot wrong, bagging twice from three shots.
This sort of clinical finishing is what Leeds have been missing, and while you can easily write off the SPFL for being a poor league, some top strikers have come from there, including former Leeds United hero Mark Viduka, and if Edmondson becomes half as good as he was then he will be a star at Elland Road for years to come.
It’s now up to the striker to keep this form up and force Bielsa into giving him a shot next season.
