Leeds United’s rising star, is making waves with his recent performances, including a brace against Chelsea and an impressive cameo against Stoke City. However, the question remains: should he be a starter?
The 20-year-old was given a chance in The FA Cup and delivered, netting two goals in a 3-2 loss to Mauricio Pochettino’s side. Archie Gray also shone, earning the man of the match title. Despite the defeat, Leeds fans found hope in the young talents showcasing their skills in London.
While Joseph’s talent is evident, Patrick Bamford remains the first-choice striker, especially with his recent goal-scoring form. Joel Piroe, on the other hand, has struggled to find his rhythm since the start of the year.
Former Leeds player Aidy White acknowledges Joseph’s potential but believes Bamford deserves to keep his starting spot. White commends Joseph’s intelligence and game management but admits it’s a tough call to start him over Bamford.
Manager Daniel Farke sees Joseph as capable of starting matches and getting more minutes, while Ilia Gruev highlights the youngster’s potential. However, with just 10 key league games left in the race for automatic promotion, Bamford remains the linchpin for Leeds United.
