Dallied on the ball quite a bit, due to Leeds not being baited into the press. Made a good second half save with his shoulder but got his feet all wrong for the goal.<\/p>\n
Never troubled defensively. Got up and down the line really well, put in a couple of good crosses and got in a good position himself but for Hume to take too long to pass to him.<\/p>\n
Used the ball well at the back, although did get a little lucky at one point when he was closed down on the edge of the area.<\/p>\n
Really good on the ball tonight, with some good diagonals to spread play.<\/p>\n
Most of Leeds play while he was on the pitch came down his side but he dealt with it well and got forward often to give Mundle an option on the overlap. Put in a couple of crosses into good areas but without anyone on the end of them.<\/p>\n
A really tidy display in front of the back four, kept the ball well all night but didn\u2019t get forward as much as he did against Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Thought he looked a little leggy tonight, although can\u2019t blame that for giving the ball away so cheaply for the goal. Had one good sight of goal but mishit it out for a goalkick.<\/p>\n
Another tidy display in midfield, not as eye-catching as the Liverpool game but a controlled performance.<\/p>\n
Played in a more advanced role but then dropped back when Mukiele charged up, had one shot deflected just wide but should have done better when Mukiele had overlapped in the first half.<\/p>\n
Saw a first time effort flash wide following a Hume back pass, was really quiet when he hugged the touchline but far more involved when he burst into the middle of the pitch.<\/p>\n
Could see he wasn\u2019t quite ready yet but held the ball up well as usual, put himself about and came close to scoring but a cross was just behind him.<\/p>\n
Some flashes of his explosiveness out wide, with quick give and goes but obviously taking it easy after his return from World Cup duty.<\/p>\n
Looked more relaxed than he did against Liverpool, with some assured defending and good passing.<\/p>\n
Was up against Dan James when he came on and did well against the Welsh international.<\/p>\n
Kept his side of the pitch quiet and read the game well when a dangerous cross came in to make sure the runner didn\u2019t get past him.<\/p>\n
Covered a lot of ground after coming on, closed down well and linked up with Adingra.<\/p>\n
Looked more comfortable alongside Hjelde today, making one good block in the box.<\/p>\n
A typical Sadiki display, tireless running, tracking back and bursting forward. Also had the captain\u2019s armband on following his introduction.<\/p>\n
Looked good after coming on, dropped deep when needed to pick the ball but was quick to make himself an option when we went forward.<\/p>\n
Wasn\u2019t on for long but saw a header flash just wide of the post with his first touch from an Adingra cross.<\/p>\n
Got in good positions when he was playing up top and had a couple of decent efforts with his head – although one probably came off his shoulder – and then had a really nice give-and-go with Adingra on the edge of the box but saw his shot well saved.<\/p>\n
Was very lively when he was on the ball, put a nice cross onto Ogunsuyi\u2019s head and tried to make something happen.<\/p>\n
Man of the Match: Timur Tutierov<\/p>\n
Thought Tutierov put in a sterling effort after he replaced Brobbey, closed down well, got himself into positions to make something happen and with a bit more luck could have scored a goal or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallied on the ball quite a bit, due to Leeds not being baited into the press.
