Lucas Radebe has posted on Twitter after Leeds United suffered a massive 6-1 loss to Liverpool on Monday night and remains confident that his old club will remain in the Premier League – urging the club to improve defensively.
Leeds have suffered three defeats in their last four games – failing to keep a clean sheet since Javi Gracia’s first game in charge, a 1-0 win over Southampton. Now, Leeds have lost two games in a row, conceding 11 goals.
Now, it is a hugely important period. Ahead of games against the likes of Manchester City, West Ham away, Newcastle and then Tottenham on the final day of the season – Leeds face Fulham, Leicester and Bournemouth.
Fulham will be without Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dan James. Leicester at home, with the Foxes in 19th and then Bournemouth are in form – but a side Leeds beat at Elland Road. Three massive games in our 2022-23 season.
Leeds legend Radebe took to Twitter on Tuesday after the 6-1 loss to Liverpool. He told Leeds fans that he is still confident that the club will be in the Premier League at the end of the season – but the defence needs improving.
Lucas Radebe confident Leeds will still remain in the Premier League
Leeds need five points from their next three games at the very minimum. Starting with a trip to Fulham on the weekend. It is a good time to play Marco Silva’s side who are without Mitrovic, and with little to play for right now.
But of course, Fulham come into the game having beaten Everton 3-1 away last time out. Then, the massive game that is Leicester at the King Power. A game that is a six-pointer in the truest sense of the word. Could be a decider.
Bournemouth away, given the form of the Cherries of late, will be difficult. But by the time Leeds play Bournemouth, Gary O’Neil’s side might have lost a couple of matches. So, plenty to go off and plenty could happen.
