‘It’s professional suicide.’
Leeds United manager Sam Allardyce has criticized his side’s lack of professionalism after they failed to avoid relegation with a 1-4 defeat to Tottenham.
Leeds United lost their final English Premier League (EPL) match to Tottenham 1-4 at Anfield on Monday (Nov. 29) after a lethargic performance throughout. They conceded a league-high 78 goals. Everton escaped relegation and will return to the second tier Championship next season alongside Leicester City. Angered by the team’s lethargic performance in a must-win home final, supporters chanted “You don’t deserve to wear this shirt” and “Sack the management”. 먹튀검증
After sealing their relegation fate, Leeds head coach Allardyce criticized his players, saying: “It was professional suicide.” “We blew it again. We gave away a goal with a ridiculous, massive mistake. It said everything about Leeds this season. You wanted to walk off the pitch today with pride, but unfortunately you didn’t,” he said. Allardyce took over the Fire boss’ duties from Javi Gracia earlier this month, but hasn’t won a game in four matches since. “I’m really disappointed in myself for not getting a win,” he said.
“I wish I could have gotten more out of the players, but I feel a deep responsibility. The last thing I wanted was to keep Leeds up,” he said, politely apologizing to the fans for not doing his job. “I apologize to the fans for not doing better, to the players for not doing better. It’s very, very sad to see a team that has worked so hard to get back into the Premier League get relegated again,” he said.
