Former Chelsea defender Scott Minto has claimed that Javi Gracia "doesn't want to" repeat Jesse Marsch's claims that Leeds United played well despite losing after the Whites lost 2-0 to Fulham in the FA Cup fifth round.
Gracia suffered his first defeat as Leeds manager at Craven Cottage as Leeds bowed out of the competition just shy of the quarter-finals. In truth, the tournament was never the priority for the Spaniard, yet his self-confessed love for the FA Cup would no doubt have left him disappointed with the result.
Leeds simply could not find a way past the Cottagers on Tuesday night and despite what would have been Georginio Rutter's first goal for the club being chalked off for a dubious foul in the build-up, Gracia's side were ultimately undone by two superb finishes in a game where Fulham otherwise created very little.
