Max Wober was barely through the Leeds United door when Jesse Marsch issued his first challenge to him. The American knows Wober well from their time at Red Bull Salzburg together and he knows the impact he can make by asserting himself and making his voice heard.
He certainly made his presence felt on his debut at Cardiff City, arriving into the action in the second half and helping Leeds come from two goals down to secure a replay against the Bluebirds at Elland Road. Wober settled things down against Aston Villa, too, on what was his Premier League bow, arriving in the game after seeing Leeds go two down and bringing composure.
Ultimately, despite Leeds turning in what Marsch described as the ‘most complete performance of his tenure’, Wober couldn’t repeat the trick and help to pull the Whites back to level pegging at Villa Park. The Austrian has made an encouraging start to life in West Yorkshire, though, and he’ll have his eyes on a full debut over the next week or so, either in the FA Cup or against Brentford next weekend in the Premier League.
