Robbie Keane and Micah Richards have labelled Leeds United’s defence as ‘all over the place’ and ‘not good enough’ after their 4-0 defeat at home to Manchester City.
Jesse Marsch’s side put up a spirited performance but lacked the quality needed to take anything from the game. Two set-piece goals from Rodri and Nathan Ake set City on course before late strikes from Gabriel Jesus and Fernandinho rubbed salt in the wound.
The odds were stacked against the Whites from the off, with Liam Cooper injured in training and Stuart Dallas stretchered off in first-half injury time. But poor defending from set-plays and a lack of composure when breaking forward cost them.
