“Frustration Clearly Evident – Graham Smyth on Leeds Struggles: Winger ‘Trying Too Hard'”

The 25-year-old has recently missed several games due to injury and has struggled to recapture the spark he showed upon joining Leeds on loan from Tottenham this summer.

Solomon made an immediate impact with an assist during his debut, helping Daniel Farke’s side to a 2-0 win over Hull City.

However, his contributions in the final third have since been limited.

In the Yorkshire Evening Post [10 November], Smyth commented, “The frustration is so evident in his body language at times.

It just isn’t happening at present. He’s trying too hard or attempting things that don’t quite align with his teammates.

He has the quality to be impactful at this level, but it’s not showing right now.”

Could Leeds United end Manor Solomon’s loan early? Given his form and injury setbacks, there has been talk of an early return to Spurs in January.

While Leeds sent Djed Spence back to Tottenham in a similar situation last season, it’s unclear if Solomon will face the same fate.

Amid the speculation, Farke has shown patience with the Israeli winger, especially with Dan James returning strongly from injury.

Solomon has demonstrated his Premier League-level skills, with impressive dribbling and creativity, yet his confidence appears to be a barrier.

Building confidence can be challenging, especially without goals and assists, despite the presence of other strong attacking teammates.

However, the season still has a long way to go, leaving Solomon with time to turn things around.

If he can overcome these struggles, Solomon could be a valuable asset as Leeds aims for promotion back to the Premier League.

However, he will need to improve quickly to ease the growing concerns at Elland Road.
