Leeds United got the better of Watford 3-0 at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday, and one of the players who did well was Daniel James.
It was one of the best performances from any team in the Championship so far this season.
Leeds United were dominating against Watford and were far superior to the Hornets.
Joel Piroe put the home team in the lead midway through the second half.
Sam Byram made it 2-0 to the West Yorkshire club on 70 minutes.
And then on 89 minutes, Jaidon Anthony made it 3-0.
Daniel James impressive for Leeds United vs Watford
Daniel James provided the assists for the goals from Piroe and Byram.
The 25-year-old Wales international winger has made five starts and one substitute appearance in the Championship for Leeds so far this season.
The former Manchester United winger has given five assists in those games.
Against Watford, the winger took two shots which were not on target, played four key passes, had a pass accuracy of 75%, took 44 touches, made two tackles and one interception, and put in six crosses.
Ross McCormack verdict on Daniel James
While Ross McCormack was impressed with James, the former Leeds striker wants the winger to produce this kind of performance more often.
The BBC Radio Leeds pundit has noted how Crysencio Summerville was taking the game to the opposition on Saturday.
McCormack wants James to learn from his Leeds teammate and 21-year-old winger Summerville and back himself.
McCormack said about James on BBC Radio Leeds (5:19pm, September 23, 2023): “He was good, I thought he was good.
“It is hard to say anyone had a poor game.
“But you can understand some of the fans’ frustration because you know very well what’s in him, what he is going to produce.
“You just want to see that a little bit more often.
“You saw Summerville quite a bit in the first half and even in the second half going at people, beating people, and creating things and stuff.
“You just want to see Dan James have a little bit more belief in his own ability to take it to the opposition.
“It’s there, he can do it. Everyone has seen it in the past.
“It’s just doing it consistently.”
