Premier League: Allardyce bemoans lack of quality as Leeds on the brink
The HinduLeeds United has a lack of depth in its squad that makes fighting for Premier League survival a tough task, according to manager Sam Allardyce, who watched his side get easily picked apart by West Ham United in a 3-1 away defeat on Sunday. Leeds led in the first half thanks to Rodrigo’s goal as they put crosses into the West Ham box and looked to pick up the second ball, but were below par in the second period and might have lost by a greater margin. “We have to keep going, we have to lift the spirits for next week, they have to accept the criticism, it is constructive criticism.” Allardyce was pleased with a strong first-half showing on Sunday as Leeds went into the break level at 1-1 but having lost striker Patrick Bamford to injury before the break, they had nowhere near the same fluency in the second period. “The West Ham players showed better ability in the final third than we did.” Allardyce is unsure whether he will have Bamford for the do-or-die visit of Tottenham.
