Leeds fans react on Twitter to Liam Cooper display vs Southampton
A handful of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to praise Liam Cooper for 🗹one of the better performances in the Whites’ defeat to Southampton on Saturday.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side produce💙d arguably one of their worst displays of his tenure as they lost 1-0 at St Mar🔥y’s.

They were second-best throughout. And they barely managed to lay a glove on their oppone💫nts, with ❀no shots on target from the visitors.
Understandably, a lot of fans on social media have vented their ༒frustration. There are serious concerns aꦅbout what this season may lead to.

And very fewꦛ players have received 𝓡any sort of credit for their performances against the Saints.
Jamie Shackleton was arguably the best📖 of the lot. But there was also some praise for Cooper at various points.
The captain was surely Leeds’ best ceꦗntre-back during the contest. He dealt with the aerial threat of Armando Broja relatively well, particularly during the first-half.
He won five aerial duels, while he aꦆlso made four interceptions ().
Obviously, it was not a display that left supporters raving about anyone. In fact, many have h🀅it out at Cooper. There are doubts amongst some 🅷regarding whether he is good enough for this fight Leeds are now facing.
‘Cooper was good’: Leeds fans offer some praise of captain
But amongst that, there were some supporters who felt that the 30-year𝐆-old was one of 🍨the better players on a really disappointing day.
With that in mind,🐠 here is what some of the Leeds fans were saying about Cooper’s performance…
Liam Cooper 6/7 everyone else 3-5

He was probably our best player today but sure
— Ashley Jones (@adjonessss)
Thought Cooper was good today bar the goal where thought he could have pos🦋itioned closer to the scorer, need him as captain to pick everyo🐟ne up and think he will. We are in trouble though

Cooper was good

Who has performed on par today? Liam Cooper probably the only one for me.
Atrocious first half for us.— Anders (@BenBuford11)
Not very many players who can say they’ve had a good half. Closest is Cooper. Has had to deal with a lot of attacks and has done pretty well so far. Need to try to find 🐭a way out and into their half. Their press has been suffocating us.
