Since joining Leeds United again in the summer, Brenden Aaronson has found newfound motivation, but his most recent USMNT performance has drawn harsh criticism.
The majority of Leeds’ Championship campaign has gone well so far, with Daniel Farke hoping to get the most out of new players and faces he didn’t have last year.
Among them is Brenden Aaronson, who is back in the Leeds starting lineup after a loan at Union Berlin. He is hoping that his performances at Elland Road will help him gain favor with USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino.
After defeating Panama, a match versus Mexico was scheduled for early Wednesday morning UK time in Guadalajara.
The offensive midfielder received a 3/10 from Goal.com for his effort, as the home team won 2-0 thanks to goals from Cesar Huerta and Raul Jimenez.
Charlie Davies, a former USA striker, discussed the game with CBS Sports and had some harsh words for Aaronson in particula
The attacking midfielder received a 3/10 rating from Goal.com for his efforts, as the team won 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Cesar Huerta and Raul Jimenez:
“He deserves credit for his comeback in the second half, but Aaronson played about as poorly as he could have in the first. Due to his inability to cope with the roughness and refereeing, Aaronson made multiple poor decisions that may have resulted in goals.
According to him, it’s the worst performance the Leeds midfielder has ever had.
“Oh Aaronson, my goodness. They just threw him off, and he lost every single ball. You hit me, and I’m out. If I were to rate him, I would give him a 2. In my whole life, I have never saw Brenden Aaronson play that poorly.
“I’m referring to his time with us when he was 15 years old, preparing for the Philadelphia Union. He has participated in competitions in the Bundesliga, Champions League, Premier League, and Championship. That was garbage. Bad.
Fans were bound to warm up to Aaronson again the moment he returned from his loan clause exit, in part because to his work ethic.
He will never stop grafting, even in games like today’s, and fans expect that when performances occasionally fall.
One thing Aaronson definitely has going for him is that, even though you can’t always prevent a bad performance, you can still make a significant contribution to make sure that aspect of your game never falters.
