JESSE MARSCH: WE GAVE AWAY TOO MANY EASY GOALS - Leedsunited.com 3/9/22

-


Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch spoke to the media following Saturday’s defeat at Brentford.

The Whites suffered a second defeat of the season, going down 5-2 at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Marsch was disappointed with the result and the manner in which the goals were conceded.

“We gave away too many easy goals and made mistakes which led to chances and Brentford set-pieces,” said Marsch.

“We have to learn from making these mistakes, especially when we are away from home and find a way to get better.

“What's a shame is that we really pushed to get ourselves back in the game at 3-2 and that's when you really felt like the game fell apart a little bit.

“We have to get better defensively, the tough part is now we gave up five in one game.

“Overall we've actually been fairly stable but this game was a little wild and we weren't able to do well enough.

“We’ve got to find ways to get better, keep learning and keep growing.”


Patrick Bamford spoke to the media following defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium against Brentford.

The Whites suffered a heavy 5-2 loss in West London, with Bamford stepping up his comeback from injury, playing 45 minutes.

The defeat was Leeds’ second of the season and the striker admitted improvement is needed ahead of the next Premier League game against Nottingham Forest.

“The performance wasn’t where we wanted it to be,” said Bamford.

“You always say each game is a learning curve, but we can’t get back into the game and throw it away within seconds.

“It’s naïve from us, we have a young team, but we have to learn quickly because you can’t get away with that.

“There are always mistakes in games and more often than not they lead to goals and that’s what happened with us.

“People need to become leaders on the pitch, you go through these tough situations and come out of them.

“We have to work on what we did wrong and try to get better.

“We’ve got to write today off and forget about it because it was just one of those days.”

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity.

The work is expected to take around two months to complete. An official club statement confirmed 'three larger stones dedicated to former managers Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson and Marcelo Bielsa' will also be installed, 'similar to those located in Bremner Square', while additional space for supporters to purchase new stones has also been factored into the project. “The club have taken on board recent feedback from supporters on the stones at Centenary Square, and we are really happy that we can now announce that all of the stones will be replaced," chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed,...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
