It’s tempting to see the two consecutive defeats as a pattern, but in reality they were very different types of games. Leeds deserved to beat us - no complaints there. We should have won today, but lost because we somehow failed to score during the 25-min spell in the second half when we were basically camped in their half. Our play around the box was poor and when we did get chances, we blew them. Where Enzo deserves criticism is that he only made two subs and kept Mavididi and Iheanacho on when both deserved to be hauled off.
The return of Ndidi, Yunus and Praet, and the arrival of Cannon, will give us more options in those attacking areas. It’s also worth remembering that Enzo has had just had one transfer window. I’m sure there’s quite a few players he’d love to replace but hasn’t had the opportunity to yet.
I agree that we will still go up, but today won’t be our last frustrating loss this season.
