We asked for your views on how Leeds' squad is shaping up after the Whites continued their pre-season preparations with a 1-1 draw against Villarreal at Elland Road.

Here are some of your comments:

Andy: A little nervous, if I'm honest. We have secured some good players but still need a different level of attacking quality and some better full-back cover.

Kumayl: Bit of a boring game but one that shows we desperately need a 10 to change the game and link the midfield with the attack, and a nine who we can rely on. I think Piroe would make a great back-up centre-forward and would be a good impact sub.

Mobbsy: I was lucky to have made the near six-hour round trip to watch the Whites under blue Yorkshire skies. It is just wonderful being back at the top table. The defence looked great even without Jayden Bogle but we missed DJ's pace. Joel looks hungry but Willy cannot give the ball away as many times as he did yesterday. The club have backed Daniel Farke and the squad is looking good but we just need a new strong number nine.

Clive: Not a bad performance but we still need that number 10 to deliver that killer pass and the forward to put it away.

Jeff: Truth is - nobody knows. We might be in the top six - we might be fighting relegation. But, at least we've learned from past mistakes as Marcelo Bielsa wasn't backed at all. Farke seems to know what he's doing. Good luck to all.

Adrian: The side is coming together but we need to take the plunge and sign Harvey Elliot and Rodrigo Muniz. If we do, I think we would have no relegation worries and would stand a chance of finishing in the top 10. We need to back Farke as Biesla never got the funds he needed.
