Omer Riza says: I can only apologise

LEEDS UNITED 7 CARDIFF CITY 0 CROWD 35,810 / AWAY SUPPORT 1,214


OMER RIZA:


"We're very disappointed. I can only apologise to the travelling fans. We knew that we were going to come up against a tough, resilient Leeds side, who don't give away too many opportunities and create a lot. “

"It was a painful result. 7-0 is unacceptable, no matter how good the opposition is. We have to move forwards.”

"They're a very good side; they've got a lot of individual players that can cause a lot of problems, even off the bench as you saw. But I do think we lacked in really important moments in the game.”

"Of course, it's not nice. It's painful, but it's what you do with it that counts - how you come off the back of it. For me, it's about knuckling down again now, and getting ready for our next game.”

"The boys know today that we didn't do enough. We didn't show enough quality that we needed to, in order to not get punished in the way that we did.”

"We need to come away from this game now, learn from it and look forwards."

It's not Riza who should be apologising, it's the players for not putting in the effort.

It's the players I blame today, not Riza.

Not much more to say. Learn from it and let it motivate us for the upcoming fixtures. February is a huge month for us.

At least he's making an effort & saying it's unacceptable but where are the so called players? They're the ones who need to hold their hands up.

Riza did go all a bit championship/football manager sim today. Was it three formation changes and all 5 subs?

Mannswerk had a bit of a rude awakening, total football to total chaos in a quick plane ride.

He should be sacked

He should be sacked

For one game?

He's taken us four points clear of the bottom three and we were nine unbeaten before today.

Ought to be refund the travelling fans

Let's see the reaction from the players in the next few games

We didn't have an answer for that performance, shocking, embarrassing for all involved, as supporters we'll get hammered for seasons to come with the taunting, players move on, we still hold the can.
City pick your shit up and be counted, the players know who's lagging behind and you need hold sort it out NOW.
