SHOCKING NEWS: Leeds United management as confirm the deal of Belgium international according to

Leeds United have crashed out of the Carabao Cup after a 3-0 defeat against Middlesbrough at Elland Road on 14 August.

 

The Whites have been chucked out of the cup in the first round after Michael Carrick’s team ripped them apart in the second half.

After a first half where neither side could work out the other, the away team came to life with three quickfire goals.

 

Anfernee Dijksteel wandered through the Leeds defence before slotting home the opener leaving Karl Darlow with no chance.

 

Ten minutes later, Delano Burgzorg grabbed a second for Boro before Josh Coburn latched onto a rebound inside the area to make it three.

The 33-year-old will have expected better from himself on his first appearance of the season. Conceding three will have been greatly frustrating although he was often hung out to dry by the defence in front of him. He will have been disappointed to palm a shot straight into the path of Coburn to score their third. Darlow could have been much better but wasn’t completely at fault for all the goals.

Defensive shambles for Leeds United

Karl Darlow – 3

 

The 33-year-old will have expected better from himself on his first appearance of the season. Conceding three will have been greatly frustrating although he was often hung out to dry by the defence in front of him. He will have been disappointed to palm a shot straight into the path of Coburn to score their third. Darlow could have been much better but wasn’t completely at fault for all the goals.

 

Sam Byram – 3

 

Byram was hooked by Daniel Farke among five changes which almost sums up his performance. He played a part in the terrible defensive showing on the night and did himself no favours in competition for his role with Jaden Bogle.

 

Joe Rodon – 3

 

It is a similar story for the Wales international as everyone else in the defence. Rodon just wasn’t good enough and was caught far too high up the pitch on multiple occasions which allowed Boro to create chances in the second half with ease. He is much better than what he showed on the night.

 

Max Wober – 3

 

Another player who was hooked by Farke who was not good enough on the night. Leeds fans aren’t sold on the Austrian and he hasn’t done himself any favours by this performance.

 

Junior Firpo – 3

 

Also taken off on 64 minutes, Firpo is also much better than what he showed. There was a lack of defensive output and he didn’t do very much going forward. Isaiah Jones had a field day and made it look very easy up against the ex-Barcelona man.

 

Ethan Ampadu – 5

 

The Welshman was forced into the backline to cover what had been a shambolic defensive performance. His midfield showing was nothing to shout about as he was often hung out to dry and isolated by his teammates. He was combative in the centre of the park but was let down by those around him.

 

Joe Rothwell – 5

 

Like Amadu, Rothwell wasn’t helped out by those around him and was all at sea every time the Middlesbrough attack broke forward at pace. For his first Elland Road start, the Bournemouth loanee would have wanted more and so would Leeds fans.

Brenden Aaronson – 3

 

Ironically, Aaronson won the most tackles of the match while losing the most duels. His attacking play was poor and he was weak on the ball, something he is often criticised for. The USMNT star needs to improve because Leeds fans are growing frustrated with him already. It was little surprise to see him hooked amongst the five substitutes.

 

Joel Piroe – 4

 

A quiet performance from the Dutchman who failed to have any sort of impact on the game other than missing one big chance. This was his chance to impress and land himself a starting role for Leeds United in the Championship but it doesn’t seem that he has done that.

 

Joel Piroe Leeds United

Joel Piroe or Che Adams – a decision Leeds could have to make

Joe Gelhardt – 4

 

Another nothing performance from a Leeds player in the forward line. It is somewhat unfair on Gelhardt given that he was playing out of position. He didn’t create much and is another player who will have wanted to show more.

 

Patrick Bamford – 2

 

It seems pretty clear that Patrick Bamford isn’t fit. The striker was constantly beaten to the ball by defenders and failed to make any form of positive impact against his former side. Being an impact sub seems to be his bag at this point because his starting performance was very poor.

 

Subs

 

Pascal Struijk – 4

 

Georginio Rutter – 4

 

Wilfried Gnonto – 4

 

Jayden Bogle – 4

 

Ilia Gruev – 4
