Although Joel Piroe was unable to shine in the way he wanted against Huddersfield Town he still managed to please his manager Daniel Farke.
Piroe playing at number 10 is, famously, Farke's least favourite topic or one of them, because he had to explain the situation on so many occasions. Having delivered a lengthy and detailed deep-dive into the positional requirements, Piroe's strengths, weaknesses and those of attack partner Georginio Rutter, Farke made a plea that the subject be left alone and - to date - he has had his wish.
Joel is a player who likes to lurk a bit on the edge to get a cutback and to score but it was not the game to do this too much in the second half. It was not a problem. It's not the game where you could shine that much, like for example the last home game against Bristol when he scored a decisive goal.' The reason Farke did not find Piroe's performance or the team's usage of him problematic was that the striker still helped the team in ways that perhaps went unnoticed.
