'If you're an opposition manager, you let Aaronson have the ball'

Simon Rix believes Leeds United are struggling to score because there is no "threat" from Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson in the front line.
The Kaiser Chiefs bassist told BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast that the pair aren't good enough to fill in for the current injured starters, after the Whites lost 2-0 to Burnley on Saturday.
"It's one of those things where if everyone's fit, those two don't play, but that's the same as any team," Rix said.
"Not the likes of Arsenal because I think they've got amazing reserves but anyone down the bottom, if two or three of their wingers are injured, they're not going to have good wingers to play. And that's where we're at.
"That's me assuming that if Dan James, [Wilfried] Gnonto and [Noah] Okafor are all fit, he's not going to play Aaronson, which he might because he has been doing but let's assume he wouldn't do that.
"If you're an opposition manager and you watch Leeds, you know you can kind of let him have the ball because he's not going to do anything. He does all this other stuff but when we're playing Burnley - either we go and grind out a 0-0 and be really defensive or, if we were playing to win which I think we were, you can't play those two. There's not a massive threat."
