'Who's going to take the corners and the free-kicks?'

Leeds didn't sign a single player on transfer deadline day on Monday despite needing a specialised set-piece taker according to Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix, who told BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast that it "feels a bit weird" to not have brought one in.
Rix said: "My problem with the transfer window is, when we went into it, I thought 'who's going to take the set-pieces? Who's going to take the corners and the free-kicks?'
"Obviously [Joe] Rothwell did a bit of that last year but other than him we were pretty hopeless. [Ilia] Gruev takes a few but I don't think he's very good at it. At the start of the season it was [Anton] Stach, who I feel should be on the end of those set-pieces and instead, is taking most or all of them.
"That feels a bit weird to me, that's what I feel is missing. Rather than a sparky number 10 for tricks and through balls and all that stuff, someone that could stick the ball in the right area.
"I think Jack Harrison is OK at it but that was a thing I would like and that could've been a player from anywhere. A left-back, a number nine, any position but someone you can really trust and when you have a set-piece you think it could actually be dangerous."
