During his well rehearsed Summer transfer evaluation on the Square Ball earlier this month, Angus Kinnear awarded the Whites an impressive B+, a game later, we ask whether the ER Chief Executive needs to re-evaluate his grades?
We may have better strength in depth compared to our squad twelve months ago, but failure to replace the game changers, could very well come back to haunt us! Saturdays performance showcased this point brilliantly. The Whites dominated all the stats that mattered bar two – shots on target and goals!
Parking the bus, last minute blocks and goal-line clearances continue to frustrate Farke’s men. Failure to land a Emiliano Buendía, Gustavo Hamer or player of that ilk, who can unlock defences could mean they miss out on a top two finish in what looks to be a very average Championship this season.
Most things right about the Burnley performance – Popey
BBC Radio Leeds journalist Adam Pope believes the fans negative reaction to the one-nil defeat to Burnley was not warranted. Speaking on his ‘Don’t Go to Bed Just Yet’ podcast Popey stated that Leeds performance deserved more, insinuating that the Whites were unlucky not to get anything from Saturday’s game. Unfortunately for us long suffering supporters, dominating games, and not winning is nothing new. Whilst we were undoubtedly the better team, we lacked that killer pass or clinical finish. According to Popey.
