Leeds United 4-1 Newcastle: New metrical dimensions
The numbers are against Newcastle, but the rhythms and rhymes are with Leeds. Four goals, four ways, and even what's familiar was unpredictable.
Chelsea 6-3 Leeds United: Caught cold
Zetterer and Bard were all new to this, but Cole Palmer — the modern day Jon Parkin — took to the pitch with history and freedom on his side.
Brighton 1-1 Leeds United: On the line
Scampering around, pressing, never giving up, with his black hair bouncing, Tanaka looked a lot like Brenden Aaronson out there in the most complimentary way. When on the ball he played clever incisive passes to move possession into dangerous areas, and he looked a lot like Ao Tanaka.

Liverpool 2-4 Leeds United: To do it right
It's gonna take money, a whole lotta spending money, and it's gonna take patience and time: but in the meantime Leeds United can't afford letting Brenden Aaronson go.
