I thought it was noticeable how we struggled to play out from the back against WBA after cooper went off. As well as not being a centre back, Berardi is not as comfortable with the ball at his feet as the others. There were a few occasions where White chose to play up the line instead of square to Berardi, which he would have done if Cooper were there. Casilla did the same as well, choosing to kick long instead of go short to Berardi. I like how Berardi shows passion etc but I just don’t think he’s good enough either as a footballer or his temperament. The playoff defeat to derby should have been his last game in a Leeds shirt.
