Brenden Aaronson enjoyed a very promising evening for Leeds United at Sheffield Wednesday but there is still certainly room for improvement.
Aaronson started for the first time in the league since returning to Elland Road and managed to get himself on the scoresheet in Leeds’ 2-0 win.
The 23-year-old was handed a start in his favoured number 10 role, a position Graeme Bailey says he could become the best player in the league, and finished off a free-flowing move for Leeds‘ opener.
Throughout the 90 minutes Aaronson showed some very neat touches, but as was always expected, is still having some issues with his physicality.
Aaronson was bumped off the ball on a few occasions despite packing on six lbs of muscle while at Union Berlin, perhaps showing it’s not his upper body strength that is the problem.

The reason why Aaronson is knocked off the ball more than he should be is both his lack of awareness of what’s around him, and how to use his body effectively.
However, that is certainly not in anyway knocking his contribution to the win at Hillsborough, as his introduction to the team ahead of Joel Piroe made a huge difference.
