Didnt get within in a mile of a white shirt to close down and Davey thinks Ross Barkley cant defend.

Awful mistake for the first.

taught naismith was at fault for the first terrible attempted pass that was never on! as for junior look hes a young kid hopefully in time will come back a stronger better play one poor game dosnt make him a bad player maybe like barkley needs a time at a championship club
 
Fellaini didn't exactly cover himself in glory then either though.

No but he gave the ball away and gave them fullback the opurtunity to et in between the midfield and defense. Mofro at least tracked back, Distin was actually caught out by a richocet or bounce or something while Heitinga was slow to come across on the cover.

But certainly the loss of the ball in that area caught us out - was a good finish though.
 
Thought the first was more Naismith's fault tbh, poor layoff.

Also thought Junior got caught when he won the ball, could of (should of?) been a foul really.

Fellaini dived in and didn't win it, schoolboy error, which Coleman also did in the build up to the 2nd goal. If he stood up and got in the way the goal wouldn't have been scored.

He was coming from behind the defender mate. Its the defenders job to stand infornt of the attacker and the midfielder to track back, he maybe could have got a better touch on it - but he actually made contact with the ball, certainly looked like Heitnga and Distin thought he would win it.

It was totally Naismith's fault, Junior did well to get anywhere near salvaging it. The defence wasn't set because it was immediately following a keeper roll out to the centre back. In that situation if you're going to play a one touch outside of the boot flick round the corner facing your own goal in the first five minutes, you either have to be sure that it's going somewhere safe so it doesn't matter if you miss it slightly, or be good enough to make the pass. Not mess it up and put your team in trouble.
 
Wouldnt blame Junior for their first goal like. Saying that though he was just running round like a headless chicken, chasing shadows. However, not gonna come out and go 'He wont make it' etc, give him time, sure he will improve. As ive said, no-one had a good game tonight, so no point picking on his performance alone.

I didnt notice the Naismith role in it tbh, i was to furious but will watch itback again - innital reaction was Junior over elaberated and gave it away. How can a central midfielder be dispossessed by a full back from your own kick out back into play.

Because he was on the stretch and immediately pressured by two Leeds players as they were facing the right way and sniffed a loose ball. You could maybe say his positioning could have been a bit safer to give Naismith an easier pass, but he would have done really well to get out of it with the ball once it was loose.
 
If we wanna point fingers at the first goal, which I dont, Junior escapes any blame from me.

Terrible pass from Naismith, lazy tackle from Fellaini and Distin, but im not pointing fingers.
 
How can you blame Junior for the first and say it was a terrible mistake? Of about 5 players he was the least at fault. He did literally nothing wrong.
