Leeds United fans have been reacting to the performance of captain Liam Cooper during their performance against Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Whites were starring down the barrel of a fifth defeat of their Premier League campaign against Wolves at Elland Road on Saturday after Hwang Hee-chan’s 10th minute goal for Bruno Lage’s side in the first half.
However, Marcelo Bielsa’s side managed to equalise in the 93rd minute through a Rodrigo penalty.
The excellent Joe Gelhardt, brought on as a second half substitute for Mateusz Klich by Bielsa, weaved his way into the box, beating multiple men in the process to win the vital penalty which Rodrigo duly converted past Jose Sa, his first goal of the campaign for the Whites.
One player who, according to the fans watching at home, enjoyed a brilliant performance was Whites captain Liam Cooper, receiving numerous plaudits for his performance following the match online:
Is Liam Cooper Leeds best defender?
Yes
No
What did fans make of Cooper’s performance against Wolves?
“Our best player”
“Brilliant, never gets enough credit. Too many people pre determined to dislike him”
“Superb again! Most wont agree but this last 4-6 wks most consistent performer. Captain marvel! MOT”
“Unreal today, been our best CB this season and is criminally underrated by a lot of our fans!
“He is given such a hard time which is totally ridiculous he gives more than most and is a real leader. One you’d want to be in the trenches with”
“He was fantastic today. Put in some great tackles, helped build attacks and, as you say, really kept Traore quiet!
The draw means the Yorkshire side remain 17th in the table, and will be looking to return to winning ways when they visit the league’s bottom side Norwich City, hammered earlier today 7-0 by Chelsea, next Sunday afternoon at Carrow Road as Bielsa’s side will look to secure a crucial victory and really reignite their season.
