Leeds United star Liam Cooper has pulled no punches in response to a question over the club’s relegation from the Premier League last season. Club captain Cooper was a key member of the squad that endured a campaign to forget last season, going through three managers and returning to the Championship.
Since then, things have taken a more positive turn for the club, with 49ers Enterprises completing a full takeover, Daniel Farke arriving as the new boss, and Leeds have started the season very well, currently within seven points of the automatic promotion places and gaining ground.
Though, the memory of a difficult season of last can not be easily erased, and especially not while questions are still being asked. Cooper had to field one from Sky Sports recently, and he was firm with his answer. While he did not name names, Cooper called out teammates for not ‘pulling their weight’ during the bruising relegation battle, doubling down on his rant towards the end of the campaign.
