Michael Skubala has emphasized the importance of Leeds United’s leadership group and senior players during this period. The caretaker head coach will take charge of his third Leeds game this weekend when the Whites travel to Everton for a bottom of the table six-pointer.
Of course, United haven’t won in the Premier League since Bonfire Night, but they will be confident of picking up the points at Goodison Park on Saturday following their recent uptick in performance levels under Skubala. Leeds pushed Manchester United all the way on two occasions last week and it seems the club’s most established players have responded to Skubala’s message.
The Under-21s chief already knew some of the younger members of the squad well, obviously, but he’s managed to bring the best out of Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford since taking over. The likes of Jack Harrison and even Junior Firpo, have produced strong performances, too, rising to the challenge Skubala has dished out.
