Leeds United fans saw plenty of Tyler Adams and Marc Roca on Saturday during the Whites’ 5-2 loss to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Jesse Marsch’s side boasted 68.9 per cent of possession in west London and a chunk of it came through the midfield pairing.
Adams recorded a season high of 107 touches in the game against the Bees, more than Brentford’s midfield three combined and certainly more than any other player in a Leeds shirt. Roca, on the other hand, touched the ball on 75 occasions, which is somewhat higher than his previous average of 57.
The pair were key men on the day, but despite their dominance of the ball, they couldn’t make the impact needed to prevent Leeds being well-beaten by Thomas Frank’s side. That wasn’t through a lack of trying, though.
