Don't get frustrated with Cree & (especially) Georgino losing the ball. A mild grinding of teeth will have to do :)
If they're losing the ball then they're doing their job trying to provoke something and we've got to accept that it doesn't come off every time. However the number of times they lost the ball because they ran into each other or another Leeds player (Firpo featured several times here) was indeed annoying. As for Gray - why wouldn't Rodon pass to him? Was it "instructions"? Whatever, by half way through the 2nd half Sunderland were completely ignoring him because they knew he wouldn't get the pass - it gave them an extra man to crowd out the centre. Poor Gray spent most of the 2nd half stood on his own, arms outstretched waiting for the ball that never came. It's almost like Farke says "give it to Cree or Rutter lads and watch them do something"...
