A lot of Leeds United fans think that Liam Cooper is wrong with his assessment of Patrick Bamford.
Speaking at Thursday’s press conference, the 28-year-old defender claimed that whoever plays as the striker for the Whites, must graft as hard as Bamford does or Leeds won’t create enough chances.
He also admitted Leeds must start taking more chances, but he believes that it will come and that they have to just keep trusting in Marcelo Bielsa’s methods.
This, however, has sparked outrage on Twitter, with many Whites fans in total disagreement with their captain.
See the best of the reaction below.
Cooper talking about Bamford and how important it is for whoever's up front to do what Bamford does when Leeds press and try to recover the ball high up the pitch. Says he knows Leeds needs to take more chances but believes it will come. #lufc

They’ve been on the verge of coming for about a year. We press opponents into their own box, making good chances much harder to come by. We have to change our style.

Been ‘believing, since January. At some point believing isn’t enough and actually scoring when we create more than any other team and more than I’ve ever seen us create is necessary and he nor the rest of them are doing that

Bamford is described by MB as a hard worker and as great at holding the ball up.. be good if he was good at getting in the goal. Washing machines work hard
