According To News: Daniel Farke may have no choice but to axe Leeds United star after shocker v Watford – View.
Mateo Joseph was hoping to take hold of the number nine slot following a sensational pre-season, but a lack of regular goals opened the way for Joel Piroe.
Piroe’s performance off the bench showed he should be the guy to lead the line, which was supported by a strong performance away against Sunderland.
Joel Piroe had a shocker against Watford leading the line.
Leeds appeared to be on the verge of a rout in the first ten minutes of their encounter against Watford, scoring twice in seven minutes.
However, they lost their rhythm, and the Hornets took control of the game, pulling one back after halftime, forcing Leeds to weather the storm for an extended length of time.
The game cried out for substitutions to assist Leeds to go further up the pitch, including hooking Piroe for Joseph, and the Spaniard was instrumental in giving the Leeds back four a break in the last quarter.
Leeds eventually won the game, but it might have gone much better if Joseph had converted a fantastic opportunity created by Dan James’ trivela cross.

Piroe himself squandered a great opportunity in the second half when Jayden Bogle’s cross rebounded off the post, finally falling to the Dutchman, who could only dribble a shot into Daniel Bachmann’s palms.
Despite Joseph’s missed opportunity to finish the game on Tuesday, there may be a good case for Farke to insert him into the starting lineup.
Sofascore’s chart highlights the significant difference in momentum between the two teams during the second half, before and after Joseph’s arrival.
When Joseph came in, Leeds appeared to be the only team capable of scoring the fourth goal, thanks to the striker’s all-around brilliance.
Piroe only engaged in two duels in 72 minutes, but Joseph competed in eight in only 18 minutes; even though Joseph only won three of the eight, he drove Watford four far further back with second balls won, throw-ins forced, and so on.
Leeds might benefit from Joseph’s old-school style of play away from home against Bristol City.
