Image for Leeds United player ratings v Newport – Berardi scores!

Not a game you’ll want to watch back, that’s for sure. Leeds were awful. But what does matter, is Gaetano Berardi scoring his first ever goal. What a moment from the Swiss King, his celebration showed that he’s about as Leeds as a player can get. Anyway, into the ratings…

Andy Lonergan – 6 – Didn’t have much to do but didn’t make any mistakes on a dodgy pitch so that’ll do. Couldn’t really help with the goals.

Into the defence…

Vurnon Anita – 5 – Not an impressive performance from Anita at all today, if he’s not playing midfield than it’s probably not worth playing him.

Conor Shaughnessy – 6 – Shaughnessy always looks better at centre-back than he does in central midfield, but that own-goal, come on.

Gaetano Berardi – 10 – Berardi scores his first goal playing out of position and is by far our best defender on the day? That’s a 10.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson – 2 – I’ve seen enough, send him back to Man U please.

Into the midfield…

Mateusz Klich – 6 – It’s not like he looks bad, he just doesn’t look that good either. He passes sideways and backwards a lot, a bit like Bridcutt.


Kalvin Phillips –
6 – A bit unsure as to why Kalvin didn’t get a rest today but it was the sort of game where we need his tackling and closing down on a day where many of the team didn’t look very bothered.

Hadi Sacko – 4 – A really weird signing this summer, clearly isn’t up to the standard we need.


Paweł Cibicki –
5 – Cibicki confuses me, he puts in some really good crosses and then disappears for long periods, it’s strange.

Into the attack…

Jay-Roy Grot – 3 – I mean what else is there to say? I’m not sure Grot will play much more this season. Maybe we should loan him out?

Pierre-Michel Lasogga – 4 – Didn’t exactly look any better than Grot, he was lazy and wasteful. He really needs to improve.

An embarrassment of a performance on a day where Berardi’s goal should have been the story. It reminds me of Sutton in many ways. Let us know what you thought of the game today!

      I also agree with Kevin and I have been following Leeds for 44 years and it must be the weakest squad I have seen in a very long time. TC is way out of his depth. No goalkeeper. 3 or 4 defenders that wouldn’t get a game anywhere else. 2 strikers ( if that’s what you want to call them), Grot and Lasogga who not only should be driven out of the club but out of the country. They are so bad. Brothwick Jackson is never going to make it. Man U can have him back. He should have been sent back long ago. Ayling wouldn’t be there if we had someone else. He wouldn’t pass water. Anita, Sacko, Cibicki had their chance.
      Aside from Berardi, Phillips today we were crap. We have been poor as often as we have been good so far this season and that’s a recipe for bottom half of the table.
      TC out before it’s too late.
      I hope and pray we make the top six but I seriously doubt it.
      MOT.
