Neil Warnock: Leeds United very fortunate that Premier League bottom three are struggling
Neil Warnock has labelled Leeds United as “very fortunate” in the race to survive in the Premier League this season.
The Whites were embarrassed at Everton on Saturday afternoon and currently sit six points above the drop zone.
Warnock address the injury issues but admitted that there are three much-worst sides below them who look more likely to go down.
Speaking live on talkSPORT (14 February, 8:45 am), Warnock shared his verdict on the current race to survive in the Premier League.
“It shows me Leeds are not out of there, they have their injury problems,” he said.
“They are fortunate about the bottom three at the moment right now.”
Not out of it.
Saturday was a major reality check.
We were all impressed after the 3-3 draw against Aston Villa, and we all believed it should have been more than the one point.
Then, it all came crashing down at Everton, and we were simply embarrassed to be watching along in Merseyside at times.
Watford, Burnley and Norwich have all been shocking, but it only takes one or two wins to kickstart a real run up the table.
Leeds have got to hit back against that, and they need to start picking up wins of their own, but it looks hard with Manchester United, Liverpool and Spurs coming up.
We would be lying if we said we were calm about this, and we are desperate for a huge win in the next week.
