Leeds need a win badly this weekend.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has lamented the club’s wastefulness in front of goal.
Leeds had 17 shots against Sheffield United, and failed to even hit the target.
It led to a 1-0 home defeat against their title rivals.
Bielsa told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “We are the second team in the league who have scored more goals and we have created double the chances of anyone else in the league.
“We have missed nearly 250 chances on goal. The teams at the top score 1 of 3 chances. The teams at the bottom score 1 in 5.
“The offensive play of the team is the best thing the team has. If we improve efficiency and more luck we could have 10 points more, but it is just the analysis.”
Bielsa’s analysis that wasteful finishing has cost Leeds 10 points is worrying, and the Whites cannot afford for that to grow.
Top scorer Kemar Roofe remains out this weekend, so Leeds need to call on Ryan Edmondson as an option up front.
£7 million star Patrick Bamford had an off day against Sheffield United, and if Leeds have Edmondson available on the bench, they have a good alternative.
Edmondson is the top scorer for Leeds’ title winning under-23 side, and netted two goals in a midweek win.
It’s the ideal time to call him up, and see if he can correct Leeds’ profligacy if it strikes again.
