Leeds 'need goals', but Piroe 'doesn't do what we need'

Who will lead the line for Leeds United this season is a "tricky" subject for Kaisier Chiefs bassist Simon Rix, who told BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast how it affected the team's defeat against Arsenal last weekend.
"There are a lot of questions around that," Rix said.
"I don't know if we're going to sign another striker, maybe we will, but there's still a lot of strikers hanging around considering Patrick Bamford hasn't actually gone anywhere yet. It's a tricky one.
"We need goals but I don't know. I think that it was tough for Joel Piroe against Arsenal and I did see that Lukas Nmecha had as many touches as Piroe did in half the amount of time because he was leading that line and holding the ball up. But for me, it wasn't the right team for Arsenal and I don't think he [Daniel Farke] got the tactics right.
"It was a kind of a complete breakdown but then I think - it was against one of the best sides in the league so maybe whatever he does is the wrong thing and no matter what he does we can't cope with it but, I think Piroe was a weird choice against Arsenal – he doesn't do what we need him to do."
