Leeds United YouTuber Joe Wainman was left furious on Thursday night with an incident involving Daniel James in the game at Elland Road as he live-streamed his reaction to the game.
Jesse Marsch’s start to life in Yorkshire has failed to get up and running as two defeats in his opening two games after their defeat on Thursday to Aston Villa.
Is James good enough for Leeds?
Yes
No
It was a quiet night for Leeds’ summer signing who had just 30 touches of the ball throughout the 90 minutes but managed to find himself dispossessed nine times (via SofaScore).
And Wainman was left frustrated by Leeds’ Welsh winger in the first half of the game after the 24-year-old had the ball taken off him in the middle of the pitch.
Wainman did praise the winger for his efforts to win the ball back, however, his annoyance in the Welshman’s lack of cutting edge was clear to see:
“[Jack] Harrison into James. Please use the right pass. Pass the ball! What are you doing?” he said after James lost possession in the 43rd minute of the game.
TIF Thoughts on Wainman’s reaction…
It is understandable why Wainman was left so frustrated by James’ decision not to drive on as they looked to counter-attack given the pace the 24-year-old possesses.
However, instead of using his pace or picking out a pass, the winger was caught in two minds and ultimately dispossessed by the Aston Villa man.
But then he showed his desire and won the ball back but really he should have never been in the position of losing the ball in the first place.
