Leeds United’s good run came to an abrupt end with Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Southampton – serving a good old Championship reminder to the club’s fans.
Here is what our YEP Jury had to say on the weekend reverse at St Mary’s including Whites ‘passengers’, a selection mistake, a particular option for Wednesday’sStrange unpredictable results often happen in football when you least expect them – and this game was one of those.
Instead, Leeds were the ones who were sloppy in defence. Without a natural right-back in Luke Ayling, United looked disorganised. In midfield, Glen Kamara and Ethan Ampadu looked like passengers as Southampton ran the show. After a run of quality performances from Daniel Farke’s side, this is a slight bump in the road. With the games coming thick and fast, there is no time to dwell on it.
We were better in the second half and Pascal Struijk showed his alertness to win us the second 45 minutes but, in the end this was a game that just reminded us that you have to be really on it from the start of every game, so equal are the teams in this division. Maybe we just need to dial the optimism down a bit too. Until we can find consistency, results like this are always on the cards.
