Image for Leeds United player ratings v Ipswich – O’Kane loses his head and the points

Leeds were in control of a poor game when Eunan O’Kane decided to get sent off in the first half. Although there wasn’t a lack of effort after that, the quality was lacking and so was the result.

Felix Wiedwald – 7 – Had no chance with the goal and dealt with everything else that came his way.

Into the defence…

Gaetano Berardi – 7 – A typical Berardi game really, didn’t let anyone down but didn’t offer too much going forwards.

Pontus Jansson – 8 – Jansson is carrying on his good form from December, he looks a step ahead of everyone else at the minute.

Liam Cooper – 5 – Cooper always looks dodgy when the ball is at his feet and today was no different, I can’t see that changing any time soon either. He missed an absolute sitter, too.

Vurnon Anita – 6 – He’s just not a full back, when O’Kane went off it was the perfect opportunity to try him in the middle but Christiansen went with Shaughnessy, again.

Into the midfield…

Eunan O’Kane – 0 – Just as bad as what Saiz did, he’s cost us the game and let his team down.

Conor Shaughnessy – 3 – Very strange sub from Christiansen, I think it’s clear at this point that Shaughnessy isn’t a central midfielder, even if he wants to be.

Kalvin Phillips – 7 – Had to do a lot of work in the midfield after O’Kane went off, made a lot of good tackles.

Pablo Hernandez – 8 – The only Leeds player to show top quality throughout, was unlucky not to score and set up a goal.

Into the attack…

Ezgjan Alioski – 5 – He made one good pass in the first half and was sacrificed at half time due to O’Kane’s red card.

Paweł Cibicki – 2 – Went off early with an injury but failed to produce whilst on the pitch, missed one of Leeds’ best chances.

Hadi Sacko – 6 – Showed his pace at times and looked lively but also fell over his own feet a few times, so a typical Sacko performance really.

Kemar Roofe – 6 – Put a massive shift in today and linked up nicely with Hernandez but he was stranded for large periods.

Let us know what you thought of the game today, is it all on O’Kane?

    Could have gotten at least a point today. Cooper missed a sitter. Christiansen hasn’t a clue how to re-arrange a team when we are in trouble. I still say it’s not too late, teams above us are dropping points also but we will go nowhere with the likes of Christiansen, Anita, Shaughnessy, Cibicki, Alioski, O’Kane,Sacko and I know he didn’t play today but Ayling is not good enough.
    Too many players getting too many chances and simply not delivering.
    The sad thing is we are not taking advantage of the fact that the teams around us are not getting away from us.
    6 or 7 of our squad must pinch themselves every morning wondering are they dreaming. Not fit to wear the jersey. Christiansen is way out of his depth and the sooner the powers that be realise that the better. The buck stops with him.
    MOT!!!!!!

    This is going to prove now how serious the Leeds board want promotion.. the squad is piss poor so needs money spending on the first team not the u23’s we need a striker, creative midfielder,a midfield general and a new keeper.

  • Patrick Derwin says:

    I agree with Mark. Come on the board and show us are you going to do something about it now. Or are we doomed for another season in the championship.

  • gerrycwmbran says:

    Orta was shit at Middlesboro and is no better for us – bought loads of crap up there and in amongst it 2 players came good! Middlesboro went down and if he’s allowed to go on this year or next year we will go down too.
    Promotion? No
    Top 6? NO

    Management is also crap and simply not good enough.

    Why did he not put Anita in midfield? (He’s a midfielder! – not very good but certainly better than left back.
    Substitutions crap.
    Newport selection crap
    No respect for the club

    Big let down by the players two red cards off the ball in last two games. Some of them think they are bigger than the Club. Something is not right at the Club, Christiansen to week? The Club must come hard on the players, ban them from the media etc and let Saiz and O´Keane clean the toilets when taking out there bans.

  • Patrick Derwin says:

    Look, it proves it that Christiansen and Orta are going nowhere fast. They cant see that we don’t have anywhere near a squad good enough to take us back where we belong. We are the biggest club outside the premiership and we should have the biggest and best manager, squad, and backroom team, but we don’t and never will with that shower of muppets.

    TC needs to grow a pair and tell the board what he needs. The fans can clearly see it. Jansson, Hernandez, Siaz, Ayling, Viera & Dallas the only ‘top six’ players we have. Copper, Beradi, Alioski, Roofe, Phillips, Pennington, O’Kane would make a good bench at best.
    How the hell is Victor Orta a director of football? Surely you wouldn’t sign Wieldwald, Bothwick-Jackson, Anita, Jay-Roy Grot, Cibicki, Losogga, or Klich for the championship if you have ever seen them play football? Then again someone signed Sacko. Please God, can we have descent striker that knows what the Championship is all about!
