Leeds has a “really good player,” according to Mateo Joseph, who hasn’t started a league game since October.
Mateo Joseph praised a Leeds United teammate as a truly excellent player following the Whites’ effort in Wednesday night’s heartbreaking FA Cup loss to Chelsea.
The team led by Daniel Farke performed admirably at Stamford Bridge. It took a last-minute goal for the Carabao Cup winners to secure their quarterfinal position.
Mateo Joseph had an undoubtedly breakthrough night in the starting lineup. In the previous round against Plymouth, Joseph was outstanding. And against the Blues, the 20-year-old scored twice.
Jaidon Anthony is praised by Mateo Joseph
The same individual also set up both goals, with Jaidon Anthony capitalizing on a rare wing start.
Anthony Joseph
Anthony has undoubtedly had a difficult time off the field. Therefore, it was incredible to witness the 24-year-old have such an impact on Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
Speaking with LUTV, Joseph was also very complimentary of the wide-man after the full-time whistle.
“Jaidon, I appreciate you giving me two assists. He’s a tremendously talented player, so he deserves it after going through a tough time,” he remarked.
Leeds’ bench players make a legitimate claim
It goes without saying that Daniel Farke would have preferred for his team to advance and secure a quarterfinal matchup with Leicester. Now that we know, we could have won that game.
However, Farke will be happy to have survived the match unharmed and with some of those on the outskirts making an impression because promotion is the top priority.
Joseph has undoubtedly demonstrated his ability to have an influence in the upcoming months. Anthony’s narrative is comparable as well; he hasn’t started for the league since October.
The fact Anthony has not played more speaks it all about how deep Leeds’ offense is. Nonetheless, it’s obvious that Farke has faith in the Bournemouth loanee to turn things around in the quest for promotion.
