Rodrigo Moreno has split opinion among supporters since his move to Leeds United in 2020. But one thing that cannot be argued is that he has stepped at crucial moments in the last 12 months.
Under Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds' record signing was struggling; often playing in a deeper role that failed to get anything close to his best out of him. But Jesse Marsch has managed to unlock a much better version of the 27-time capped Spain international, pushing him to become a leader on and off the pitch, and handing him opportunities in his preferred role.
There is no doubt that the Spaniard still has both his bad games and bad moments - Brighton at home in the penultimate game of last season springs to mind, and as does his crazy cross-field pass against Arsenal in October that led to Bukayo Saka's winning goal. His good moments have certainly outweighed the bad ones this year, though.
