“Shocker” – Leeds star ripped apart live on BBC Radio during Bournemouth defeat

Alarm bells will surely be ringing at Leeds United after the failed to get a result away to Bournemouth. Saturday’s defeat means that the Whites are winless in their last five league games.

What started out as a promising campaign for Farke’s men has take a very sharp turn.

Many expected Leeds to be one of the sides challenging for a place in Europe, but that notion has died over the last few weeks. The club have gone up against the likes of Sunderland and Man United and shown why the are not read to compete for Europe.

In back-to-back games against Man United and Sunderland, the could only muster two points.

Their attack once again is a huge talking point after losing to the Cherries; just two goals in the last five matches.

The game was going well for the away side; they had good chances especially with Dan James threatening in behind.

Then a moment of madness occurred which gave Bournemouth the lead. A loose pass from Trafford went straight to Justin Kluivert who laid it on a plate for Evanilson to score.

Scott Brown on the Final Score laid into Trafford for the mistake that cost his side a goal.

”I don’t know what James Trafford is doing. I’m a big fan of the build-up, but that’s not it when you pass straight to a Bournemouth player.”

”It’s the easiest goal they’ve scored this season. Trafford has had a shocker.”

”It’s been a good period for Leeds and then to lose a goal like that, it’s disappointing for Leeds.”

Leeds went 1-0 down and the entire complexion of the match changed. Bournemouth were not really good until that point, and were lucky the goal changed their fortunes in the game.

After the Whites went down, Farke’s men created a lot of opportunities but poor decision making in the final third hampered everyone.

Should Trafford’s error be an issue?

Daniel Farke is not one to be against goalkeeper’s building up, last season Lucas Perri and Karl Darlow were very active on the ball.

This mistake from Trafford is not something the club is going to be worried about – the keeper has already proved himself this season, all this will be is a stumbling block to learn from.

After his outstanding game against Sunderland, this will bring him back to Earth a bit.

But this should not change Leeds’ style at all; they played well against Bournemouth even despite the error.

James Trafford should hold his head up high after this game and try and improve going forward. The only reason this will even be discussed is that he is a high profile keeper in line for England number one.
