The defense was the problem (a MAJOR problem), not so much the keeper. I think Sam should have stuck with Meslier, he is a far better keeper that Robles IN MY OPINION.
But Big Sam only had a VERY short time at Leeds. No-one, not even Pep would have been able to save Leeds from the drop.
The “previous coach” got 11 points from 11, you managed 1 from 4. Two relegations in your last 2 jobs 👍
Even a very good goal keeper would have struggled having the worst defence in the prem in front of him as well as a dodgy midfield.
The club has been run by clowns. New owners, New DOF, New manager and a New squad needed. Change needed from top to bottom. Ps ty for trying Sam
And yet he kept playing Luke Ayling!
Sam was weak to drop him. He gave in to pressure from the media. Even when he was making mistakes he was still making great saves. He probably didn't make any more mistakes than De Gea or Allison but they didn't get dropped. People get more nervous and desperate in a relegation battle. It's why managers get sacked. But if he's the best goalkeeper you play him. Robles may have not made any obvious mistakes but results certainly didn't improve and you don't know what difference Meslier could have made with his ability to make exceptional saves.
Big Sam shows himself up when he says he'd blame himself if he kept playing Meslier. He wasn't prepared to take responsibility for playing Meslier even though he was the best goalkeeper at the club. I thought he could handle Leeds but he proved why he's never had a big job.
So why didn't you drop bamford same lots of mistakes and his confidence was gone
As a Leeds fan he’s a good shot stopper but everything else is bang average.
Did he see any videos of Robin Koch prior to joining?!
Pathetic defending. Simple
Should have dropped the whole team
Pity he could drop the whole team
Hard to make something out of that team. Solid midfield and attack. But the defending and an unreliable goalkeeper. Some time in the championship will be good for the team
Teflon Sam, still taking the money !
Correct decision…. But woeful choices in other games
