A former Leeds United player was left seething by one Whites player who didn’t have a great afternoon at Elland Road.
You could say the same for most of the players out there on Saturday afternoon, as Leeds bowed out of the FA Cup.
Leeds losing 2-0 to Millwall is a slight setback after their brilliant form recently, and any Whites fans who were dreaming of an FA Cup run will be disappointed.
The likes of Josuha Guilavogui and Ethan Ampadu had a torrid afternoon, but one Leeds player stood out after a costly error.
Aidy White told Wilfried Gnonto he’s got to do better for Leeds United
Aidy White gets frustrated even when Leeds win so it’s not a good sign when Daniel Farke’s side lose.
On BBC Radio Leeds commentary (12:45 pm), White wasn’t too pleased with Wilfried Gnonto after he was dispossessed following a failed pass to Isaac Schmidt on the 30th-minute mark which led to Femi Azeez opening the scoring.
“For me, Willy Gnonto has got to do better there,” White said.
“I think when he’s received the ball, he’s held onto it (for too long) and then three Millwall bodies are suddenly around him.
“He’s tried to dink it to Schmidt and then both players are out of position.
“It all stemmed from Gnonto trying to play what should’ve been a simple ball.”
Gnonto was dispossessed 16 times in Leeds vs Millwall
The Italian has struggled to get into the Leeds starting lineup as it is, as Farke said Gnonto has dipped in form.
This again was proven fairly evident against Millwall, as Largie Ramazini and Manor Solomon will probably be more suited to Farke’s plan at the moment.
Gnonto had one element of his game where he really struggled, incredibly losing the ball 16 times.
