‘Stinker’, ‘Terrible’ – Many Leeds fans destroy player who ‘run out of legs’ at FT v Wolves
Leeds United fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Wolves on Monday evening in the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa made a number of changes to his starting XI for the game, including the return of Jack Harrison and Rodrigo.
Pascal Struijk was also a late introduction to the team, with Liam Cooper pulling out in the warm-up with his groin problem.
Kalvin Phillips continued in his famous quarterback role but struggled throughout.
Having been with England for two weeks, Gareth Southgate plays in a system that stifles his all-round game and that was clear in the Wolves clash.
His passing range was nowhere near what we are used too, and the 24-year-old too often lost possession or misplaced his final ball.
It was the Wolves goal that was his most unfortunate moment, deflecting a shocking strike from Raul Jiminez despite it going straight to Illan Meslier to concede.
There was nothing he could do about that one, but it did sum up his entire performance on Monday evening, much to our disappointment.
Many Leeds fans reacted to the display of Phillips, claiming that he was nowhere near good enough in the defeat against Wolves.
In his defence, the majority of those did believe that going away with England had a massive impact on his display.
