On this side of the Atlantic there is considerable interest with Marsch and likely fan favorite Aaronson at the club. A while back, many young left-side players in the US began (or, in my case, step up their support) to support Leeds because of another fan favorite, Eddie Lewis. Of course, lower divisional status was an impediment and support over here didn't take off the way I'd hoped (there are a few of us, though). I've had to endure a lot of Man U and Chelsea peers for quite awhile. I hope we'll stay up awhile and build a base in this growing market. That said, there are tons of articles coming out linking US and MLS players to Leeds right now in the US media. I believe virtually all of them have no basis in reality and for that I'm thankful, but there is considerable hope that the lone American premier league manager will raise the profile of American football and the MLS by importing a lot of players that, to the objective observer, simply are not premier league caliber. The most recent with a lot of chatter is a young German left wing-back/full-back Kai Wagner. He is excellent here, but nowhere near what we need at Leeds (another CT fan here). I will admit that he is fast and hits beautiful crosses and set-pieces, but strikes me as overly reliant on such, and perhaps a tactical throwback. Not as useful without old-school, hulking CFs. I also have questions about his defending.
Agree love some of the tactical chat on here,
Must admit I have been one of Marsch's biggest critics but that was 100% about Marcelos sacking and the timing of the appointment.
Now is the time he or someone should have been appointed, so now is the start of his Leeds reign in my opinion.
Not sure the evidence has yet suggested he will do well but he may hopefully surprise us.
I will add there are signs that he is setting the team up better in the last couple of games than in the earlier ones.
Whoever is in charge better luck with injuries would help, I've a feeling if this season we had signed a Lionel Messi in his prime he would have caught long covid.
