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.”
