Alan Shearer has criticised Leeds United's inability to do the basics right following their 3-2 loss to Fulham on Sunday. The Whites' winless run was extended to eight matches at Elland Road, of which includes four consecutive defeats.
Manager Jesse Marsch is coming under increasing pressure from supporters from their recent run of results but Shearer has highlighted Leeds' poor defending for all three Fulham goals as to why they lost at the weekend. First, Aleksandar Mitrovic was able to escape free in the box from an Andreas Pereira corner to head in an equaliser unmarked.
Then, Bobby Reid was given the freedom of Elland Road from another Pereira cross to put the away side in front, before Harrison Reed was able to dance his way through two challenges and put it on a plate for Willian. Speaking on Match of the Day 2, Shearer claimed Leeds' constant switching off at the back is the reason they are in such a poor run of form.
