He looks like a player that's being flogged and low on confidence to boot.

Bloody hell. Whoever’s signing centre backs needs taking round the back a shooting.

Or at least a slap on the cock with a thick knotted rope

I blame the manager

Played f**king amazing when he joined, I think he's been de-trained! The same happened to Sterling!

Estevao was dire and showed his age today. It will happen again -- he's 18!

Evidently not a great showing, but because I never bought into the title contenders nonsense, it was good to see Cole moving around the pitch again.

Regarding the center D (and goalie), I'm not sure there is anything else to say. :/

Blame it all on Coco the clown, once again he disrespected the opposition thought he could play reserves and comes unstuck

Sack him

The commentary is that bad because Michael 'one season wonder' Bridges is challenging Liam Delap at the gormlessness Olympics:

Got his move after being cast out by Brighton

Maresca picks a side to match the level of the opposition, god help us when we play Cardiff.

And left wingers, and strikers. Winstanley and Stewart get rewarded for this. Laughable.

Sorry but you can't act like Estevao hasn't played his part in this disasterclass today.

He was bad and Palmer has done nothing tonight. But they have shown on other occasions that they have more about them than to waste their careers at a club with useless yes men coaches and owners with the primary objective of player flipping.

So many of our signings are based on what a player could become and not what he is now.

PFFFFFRRRTTT

And Cole.

Its Maresca. He improves NOBODY.

We should be out of the top 5 by the time we play our next home game

After Sunday, we'll challenge Arsenal & city they said, we're a top team they said, we're building something here they said, we've a great panel they said......they didn't fkn say we have some shoite in this panel...total bullied & outfought by Leeds who showed a desire we should have....Tosin, Gittens, Delap etc are just championship level......

Defence is a disaster, 15 passes by 2 centres & keeper & then give it away.....passing back to the keeper from halfway, walking out with the ball, constantly giving it away...3 goals come from it..........

89 min & Leeds chasing everything...they deserve the 3 points......from 2nd to possibly 5th & by this performance 12th by time Christmas is over....

Isn't that the case for (almost) every singing we've made in the last 3 years?

Garnacho's lack of IQ is astonishing

We have some great young players. IF only we had a proper manager who could install a little consistency.

That's the strategy. Madness. Why can't we have a seasoned centre back? The spine of the team is short of quality centre backs and strikers not good enough.

I thought that was Jonathan Woodgate they were bringing on. He could comfortably play tonight to be fair

enzo with a captains performance.. this was coming after last week.. we needed some heart and muscle .. shame Reece can’t play without Caicedo we have nothing…. Absolutely sh*t show at the back with Tosin and Badiashile.. how bad is disasi or Josh that we play Tosin.. should never have started ..

We should sign Marvin Gaye
