When it comes to cheering for Daniel Farke’s team, Leeds United supporters are renowned for their intensity and emotion. Joel Piroe has told Dutch media that the fans make away games seem like home.
Leeds has earned a very undesired rematch against Argyle today in the FA Cup, so this is as far away from home as we are going to be tonight. The victor plays an away match against either Chelsea or Aston Villa.
After Patrick Bamford’s dominance in the Championship side cost Piroe his starting place, the player is probably going to get a start tonight. The former England player has been playing really well since the year’s beginning.
purchased by Leeds for £16 million from Swansea in the summer of last year. Started 24 of 28 games for Leeds, scoring 10 goals and setting up another. In an interview with Voetbal Zone, he discussed his observations regarding Leeds supporters.
