Patience with Struick please guys. Young player who really should still be developing between the under 23s and bench. Called into play in the premiership in two different positions after very little championship experience.
Yep he's making mistakes, but note Aus´s comments about how exposed our CBS can be under the Bielsa way.
I think he's learning every game and thought last night we were playing out from the back from him and you can see his confidence growing. His distribution is good from the back, he got the ball quickly out to Raph to make the goal in the Everton game. Also he gives us a threat in the opposition penalty box and has almost scored twice in the last two games.
If we want the young kids to have a chance then we sometimes need to be patient.

Totally agree Spanish - I think Pascal is doing superbly this season.

Yes agree Spanish. He is quickly becoming a star and the CB certainly suits him as he grows into it. For me, he is giving Bielsa a headache when Koch and Llorente are fit.

Didn’t see last night but love pascal. Our defence is bottom two in every area so this must be tactical as well as down to the players and our defence are worked harder than any other team so mistakes will happen.
This said we have played some great stuff so have to stick with it and ride the wave!

By far the better of our two CBs right now!

Cooper gets too much unwarranted criticism from Leeds supporters on this forum and elsewhere.

I think he’s performed very well at CB, really stepping up!

Liam very guilty of poor reading of the passage of play last night, he checked on Gilfi as digne set off down wing but totally ball watched the unfolding phase of play leaving Gilfi stroll into the box for the tap in, very avoidable goal, which I am sure will be played many times today at TA.
