Without a doubt the hardest game of the season, Leeds were nowhere near their best but showed bottle that they were lacking last year.
Bailey Peacock Farrell – 5 – For me the first Swansea goal is on him, you HAVE to save that. Made a big save late on though.
Into the defence…
Jamie Shackleton – 8 – Probably our best player and even he made a few naive errors, his assist for Roofe’s goal was beautiful to watch.
Gaetano Berardi – 6 – Went missing for McBurnie’s second goal but have to respect the performances he’s putting in playing out of position.
Luke Ayling – 7 – Solid enough performance from Ayling who was shifted to centre-back at the last-minute, playing without any centre-backs was a strange one, though.
Barry Douglas – 6 – Douglas’ least impressive performance so far, his passing was all over the place and he wasn’t as effective as he has been.
Into the midfield…
Kalvin Phillips – 1 – Poor guy, couldn’t really have gone any worse for him. Hopefully this doesn’t ruin his confidence too much.
Lewis Baker – 7 – Baker did well in place of Phillips, his passing was excellent, especially when he laid it on a plate for Harrison at the end…
Mateusz Klich – 7 – Started slowly like the rest of the team but grew into the game in the Phillips role, will be interesting to see who starts v Norwich.
Samu Saiz – 5 – His decision-making was shocking at times, he never seems to shoot when it’s the most obvious thing in the world, he does put a great shift in though.
Into the attack…
Gjanni Alioski – 3 – Only noticed him when he was offside, hence why he was removed at half time.
Jack Harrison – 3 – Not sure he’s quite up to this level yet, why he didn’t shoot at the end, we will never know.
Pablo Hernandez – 7 – Pablo was having a quiet game, but you can never rule him out. Great finish.
Kemar Roofe – 7 – I think he touched the ball once before he scored, great movement and positioning from him.
Patrick Bamford – 7 – Bamford was bright when he came on, great movement and ball for his assist too.
Overall a good point in a game we definitely would have lost last year, the response to this game against Norwich will be key.
Let us know what you thought of the game!
Great point in the circumstances.
The loss of Cooper shaped the game, and left our back line in tatters at times.
Swansea looked very big, all over the pitch!!!
I thought Marcelo took action quickly, with what he had.
We could have won it in the end.
We need a new centre back for the Norwich game.
MOT!
