Gary Lineker shares instant reaction as Leeds United lose v Leicester City
Gary Lineker has shared his instant reaction to Leeds United losing at Leicester City in the Premier League this afternoon.
The Whites dominated in Jesse Marsch’s first game in charge but were punished after not putting their chances away.
Lineker mentioned the new manager bounce after the Foxes somehow left the game with all three points.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, Lineker shared his instant reaction as the full-time whistle went.
“Two wins on the bounce for Leicester,” he said. “Two clean sheets on the bounce.
“Stopping a Leeds bounce. Boing Boing.”
Bounce.
It was evident that this was a new Leeds on show this afternoon, but that wasn’t enough in the end.
Raphinha, Rodrigo, Jack Harrison and Dan James all had guilt-edged opportunities, but they failed to make them count.
If you don’t do that at this level in the Premier League, you are punished, and poor defending led to that in the second half.
Brendan Rodgers will know that his side didn’t deserve that, but that is the harsh nature of the Premier League at times.
Hopefully, we can take this into the huge games against Aston Villa and Norwich, and bring away two wins – they are needed.
We can’t afford more defeats, and hopefully, more days of training will get the lads comfortable in the new system – the first signs are positive.
