Eric Wynalda has slammed Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford in an incredible outburst against a fellow professional, claiming he is not equipped to play in the Premier League and "sucks". Bamford missed Leeds' 6-1 mauling against Liverpool on Monday due to a calf injury, but has struggled for both form and fitness during the past two seasons.
The 29-year-old has notched five goals and four assists in 25 appearances across all competitions for Leeds this season, but has not come close to replicating his 17-goal haul in 2020/21.
Former USA international Wynalda has urged Leeds to play more direct, but does not expect Bamford to serve as an adequate option in attack. “Jesse learned the hard way and Gracia is finding the same problem," Wynalda told The Action Network's Wondergoal Podcast.
