Win as a team, lose as a team.
That seemed to be the message that Leeds United captain Liam Cooper was trying to instill after Saturday’s loss to Charlton Athletic.
Speaking to LeedsUnited.com after the game, Cooper said that the whole team needs to take responsibility for what’s happening:
“Once again we have had the chances to win the game and we can’t keep shooting ourselves in the foot by conceding the goals we are. The manager has told us to stay positive, our luck will turn as we are getting nothing at the moment and we will keep going. We’ve got to sort it out at conceding set-pieces at that end and the lads have to sort it out at the top end and put some chances away and that is the way it is, we will all be working hard to go again.”
Although the message didn’t seem to go down all that well with certain sections of the fan base. In fact their message back to the captain seemed to be on of ‘it’s no use saying it, you’ve got to do it as well’.
Yes, if you could that would be fab….

Bielsa can only do so much… it’s up to you guys to get the killer instinct & finish teams off.. If you do we will go up..

Have to ask the question, do you really want to go into the Premier league because it appears to me you are frightened of going there.

Too right. We’ve turned back into Leeds United pre-2017. No quality or fight. Sort it out please skip!

Sort it out, ok start by hitting the net, as and when the chances come, score more goals than you conseed, take 3 points from every game from now until the end of the season and we'll be all sorted. Thanks Liam M.O.T

Could've sorted it in the summer but instead decided to make it worse
