Leeds United Chat • Re: Leeds vs Villa Player Ratings
3 flaps (although on replay one was a foul) and saved by the woodwork. But made key saves when it mattered. And a rare clean sheet.
Kristensen 7
Solid defensively. And an early retribution on McGinn. Starting to establish himself. Needs to show more going forward - we need that spark that we saw when Ayling came on as sub against Brentford.
Struijk 7
Rather quiet game. Nothing of fault defensively.
Cooper 7
A little rusty being his 1st game since (April? May?). But part of a commendable clean sheet. Has organization of the defence that we miss without him.
Koch 8
Probably our best player on the day. He seems in cruise control most of the time.
Roca 6
A bit of a scrappy performance from him. Helped out the defence but offered little in transition. Yellow card hampered him.
Adams 5
Probably his quietest game so far. Like Roca, commendable for the clean sheet. But just didn't seem to get into the game at all
Harrison 4
Did he even play? Lost on the right side. Noticeable that we focussed our attacks with Sinisterra on the left. Harrison is at his best swinging in crosses from the byline and has to play left or not at all.
Sinisterra 6
Our best player for 48 minutes. Offered a few bright moments around the box. Sending off was just naive and inexcusable.
Aaronson 4
Like Harrison, a virtual non-presence. He didn't do anything wrong, but he/we just need to figure out how to get involved in the game
Rodrigo 6
A few bright moments. Might have done better if he hadn't been out for so long.
Bamford 6
Shows so much more than anyone else at #9. Created a couple of good opportunities that could have been the winning goal.
Ayling 6
Would have like to see him start as he offers something extra going forward. Didn't get to do that given the red card, but made some solid defensive interceptions.
Klich 5
Offered some good experience and gamesmanship to frustrate Villa in the latter part of the game. Could have scored the winner.
Firpo 6
Some useful minutes and looks good to have a natural LB back again.
Summerville 5
Lots of energy, but unable to make much of an impact
