Leeds United lost 1-0 to West Brom on Friday night, continuing our awful recent pattern of winning just one of the previous five games – but Andy Hinchcliffe is clearly a huge fan of Ethan Ampadu.
Leeds had won just one of their previous four games, earning four points out of a potential 12. Sunderland and Preston both lost on Boxing Day. Now comes the third defeat in the last five games.
Grady Diangana, who was linked with a move to Leeds in the summer, scored the game’s sole goal as Carlos Corberan won a victory over his former club. It has caused us to drop to fourth place in the Championship.
Now nine points behind Ipswich. Another opportunity squandered as the Tractor Boys drew 0-0 with QPR at Portman Road. Leeds’ victory would have cut the gap to six points. It’s now nine o’clock.
There were some strong performances, particularly from Ethan Ampadu, who was his normal, dependable self. Hinchcliffe, who is commentating for Sky Sports, believes Ampadu must play every minute if Leeds are to go up.
“If Leeds are to finish ahead of Ipswich or Leicester in the top two, then he needs to be playing every minute. That’s how vital he is to this team,” Hinchcliffe stated on Sky Sports commentary.
Andy Hinchcliffe believes Ethan Ampadu should play every minute.
Friday saw again another frustrating and unsatisfactory performance. Leeds are gradually losing the form they had in recent weeks, when they could score goals and defend well. Daniel Farke’s strategies have been exposed.
Leeds must find another means to score goals, bringing out the best in Georginio Rutter and Joel Piroe, before it is too late and our current run of form causes us to go lower down the table.
