Leeds United posted a photo that should give Thomas Christiansen an idea regarding Kemar Roofe and Pierre-Michel Lasogga.
After three defeats on the spin, Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen surely needs to consider moving away from the 4-2-3-1 system that he has relied upon since arriving at Elland Road during the next few weeks to try and give the Whites some of the unpredictability that they have lost recently.
Leeds appear to have been worked out in recent weeks, and that has left them falling from first to sixth, just four points clear of the bottom-half.
Christiansen may decide that a clash with an in-form Bristol City is probably not the best time to adopt a new system – after all, it was a system that did initially see Leeds reach the Championship’s summit at one stage – but if he does decide to make some changes, perhaps a photo the club posted on their official Twitter account should give him an idea.
The photo is simply Kemar Roofe and Pierre-Michel Lasogga together at a Q&A, but perhaps the image should make Christiansen – if he has not thought about it already – think about whether switching to a system that involves a front two, and pairing Roofe and Lasogga together, may be something worth trying.
Both men have looked impressive up front at times, but both have also looked incredibly isolated in their most recent appearances leading the line.
Roofe’s best role is arguably as a striker, but the defeat against Cardiff proved that playing him up top on his own can see him become somewhat redundant during a game.
Meanwhile, Lasogga would bring that physicality that Roofe arguably lacks when he faces the strongest defences, and the German would be able to exploit the gaps that Roofe creates with his intelligent running.
Christiansen may decide that playing two up front hurts the balance of the team too much, especially away at Ashton Gate, but with results only going one way at the moment, sticking with his usual tactics may actually be the bigger gamble for the Leeds boss.
