Leeds United manager Daniel Farke would have been disappointed that his side didn’t take their chances against West Ham in the first half in a game that the Hammers won 3-0.
While West Ham needed a win to give themselves a chance of Premier League survival on the final, it was the visitors who looked the more enterprising side in the first half and created the better opportunities.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was the main culprit when he missed a golden chance in the 35th minute, when he should have scored and put Leeds ahead before the break.
Jamie Carragher was not at all impressed to see the Leeds striker miss a great chance, and the former Liverpool defender didn’t mince his words to describe the moment.
The former Liverpool star hammered Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Carragher insisted that Calvert-Lewin brilliantly combined with Lukas Nmecha to create that chance for Leeds and he was left unimpressed with the finish.
He stressed that too many times this season the Leeds striker seems to find the goalkeeper when he is in such positions and insisted that it was not great goalkeeping but a poor finish from Calvert-Lewin.
Carragher said on Sky Sports: “It was brilliant from Nmecha and Calvert-Lewin, as we know, he always gets lots of chances.
“But more often than not, he finds the goalkeeper. It was a huge opportunity for Leeds United to go in front.
“When Nmecha rolls past the defender and gives it to Calvert-Lewin, you think that is going to be a goal.
“Is it a bad miss or is it good goalkeeping? I think it is a really bad finish, even though the keeper does well.
“You just feel he should score so many more goals; he just always seems to find the goalkeeper.”
No surprise Leeds are looking for a striker
Leeds have been linked with several strikers ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window and are being ambitious in identifying targets.
The Juventus pair of Lois Openda and Jonathan David, and the club are looking at options in the Premier League as well.
It is no surprise that Leeds are in the market for a striker, as while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been a brilliant signing, his goals have come in bursts rather than in a consistent form.
Leeds want to help Calvert-Lewin and bring in someone good enough to share the load with the former Everton man.
The former Everton man will be the main man again next season, but Leeds want an alternative and not be too dependent on one man again.
Cant believe the ratings, nobody deserved 5 or over very poor performances!
