Brenden Aaronson hits back at suggestion over Leeds United form and urges Arsenal action - YEP 13/10/22
Brenden Aaronson has issued a defiant message about Leeds United's form and declared the necessary course of action ahead of Sunday's home date with Arsenal.

Jesse Marsch's Whites appeared on course to net a third win
of the Premier League season in last weekend's clash at Crystal Palace in which
Leeds went ahead in the tenth minute through Pascal Struijk. But United then
squandered good chances to extend their advantage and eventually fell to a 2-1
defeat which extended the visiting side's winless run to five games.
Leeds have taken just two points from a last possible 15 and
Marsch's men have still only picked up one point on the road this term through
the 2-2 draw at Southampton in the second game of the season. Defeats at
Brighton, Brentford and Crystal Palace have followed but United's USA
international star Aaronson insists there is no concern about the recent away
record.
Fourteenth-placed Leeds will return to action on Sunday
afternoon with the visit of table-topping Arsenal, ahead of which Aaronson says
his side must take the positives from last weekend's performance at Selhurst
Park. Asked how much of a concern just one point on the road was for himself
and the players, Aaronson told Sky Sports: “It's not a concern. It's early in
the season and I don't think anybody is really worried. We are disappointed in
the result, I think everybody is. Everybody's head dropped afterwards but you
have to keep your head high in this situation. We know we played well and just
on to the next one."
