Three points for Leeds, but Somma cast aside already? TSS August 29, 2010 Leeds United 85 Comments Still to come... Leeds got their first away win, and first clean sheet of the season yesterday at Vicarage Road, but without the help of in-form striker Davide Somma who had to watch on from the bench. After scoring three times in just 110 minutes of football, a lot of Leeds fans were expecting to see Somma in the starting XI. Failing that, the very least we expected was a second half substitute appearance, but the gaffer brought on new boy Ross McCormack instead. It’s not that I don’t think McCormack is a good signing, but having only signed for the club a couple of days previous, I have to question how much time he’s had to train with the team and whether he should have even made the bench? I actually thought Johnson would be dropped as he’s wasteful with possession and offers very little in my opinion. This would mean Watt was pushed out-wide where he can cause nightmares for full-backs, leaving Somma and Becchio upfront? To be fair to Larry, I understand he wanted to stick with the XI that beat Millwall and in fairness, it worked, but I just feel it can be improved upon. Hopefully he’ll be more willing to shuffle things round a bit at home, because despite some positive signs, there’s definitely room for improvement. The big question at the minute is who will be the favoured strike-force this season? Somma is firing on all cylinders, the ever-present Luciano Becchio is in good form, Billy Paynter has yet to return from injury and Ross McCormack hasn’t come to make the numbers up! I’ve opened a new multiple choice poll below to see who the fans think is the best strike-partnership for the 2010-11 campaign. Vote away, and as always comments are welcome. Which midfielders would you release/sell?
