Liam Cooper

Been our best defender this season. Another solid showing from him, starting to get that consistency that has eluded him the last few seasons and he deserved another clean sheet today. Wasn't sure on him being a starting player, always let himself down with a rash decision like Cardiff red card. Leading by example this season though, well worth his new contract.

He's not always been a good player. He constantly had brain farts and made costly errors.

He's cut them out bar the Cardiff game and he's improved, he's been solid this season.

The issue is last season he wasn't playing regularly. It quite clearly affects a players performance.

He had 3 seasons in and out the team. First 2 he was with Bambi and Bellusci and was part of an error prone defence. Last season, hard to say as he didn't start many games and let himself down against Sutton.

This season is first that he's been 100% first choice and he's doing well.

He has an error or 2 in him which can be costly at any given moment in a game......but other than that he’s not bad

Which player doesn’t make mistakes ???

Janssen made more mistake this season than anyone, not all cost goals but he’s constantly gave cheap ball away in dangerous areas

Remember seeing Cooper play his first game for us against boro thinking we had a right player on our hands. Won every header that day and looked assured on the ball.
He was 23 and was stepping up from Chesterfield.
In his early days with us his CB partners were a nightmare to play alongside and last season he was second fiddle playing only a handful of games.
This is the first time he's had an extended run alongside a decent CB at this level and is flourishing. Yes, he has a mistake in him but wouldn't be playing championship if he was faultless. Honestly think he will get better and better.

Yeah agreed ben good. Even just in the way he handlez himself, looks like a proper Leeds player. Proper Yorkshireman type.

He has an error in him and too may rush of blood moments to have total confidence in him for me. Penalties given away and needlessly getting sent off too many times. If he could cut that out of his game he could potentially be a Premiership quality defender.

i agree, and just in time for leeds. this team with a couple of additions could be gelling at the right time for a promotion push.

Less time spent suspended than Jansson. Talking out of your @rse.
