00:00It could be a case of, well, it will be a case of Manuel Solomon starting on the left

00:10wing for Leeds this weekend. What do you make of that? Because Solomon has been the topic

00:15of some debate regarding his performances amongst fans so far since joining on loan

00:21from Spurs. Hasn't really hit the ground running, hasn't really had that sort of impact that

00:27a lot of people would have hoped that he could have, considering that he does have Premier

00:29League pedigree, that he has played in European competition. The one occasion that he has

00:35played against Leeds, he scored an absolute worldie.

00:38Yes, rusty, I think is the word. He has looked very rusty. There's that one bit of quality,

00:44the cross against Hull City, was it, when Matteo Joseph tucked it in at the near post?

00:49That was kind of where we saw him being the difference maker and that's what Leeds believed

00:54he could be. But, he came with an injury record and an injury concern, having missed

01:01so much of last season. So, we kind of knew that it might be a bit of a frustrating stop-start.

01:06There was always the potential for that. But even now that he's playing, he's just not

01:13quite on the same page as his team-mates yet for me, in the way that when Logy Ramazani

01:18has been playing, he's been so fluid. Some of the attacking play with him involved, him,

01:24Nyanto, Farpo, just bopping the ball around. One-touch football, cutting through teams.

01:32With Salomon, something you and I have both noticed is that he wants to hang on to the

01:36ball and that's almost been to Leeds' detriment, hasn't it?
