Agreed

He was better than Pontus last season.

Good on the ball, I really think three at the back will suit him better

My head says all football players should stay off social media just like the sensible ones stay away from nightclubs or popular bars. It always ends in tears. Job number one for Bielsa keep social media out of the players heads by banning them

Good player, I’d imagine he is likely to be captain next season as Bielsa likes to do what TC did and give players their choice.

He gets slated cause he isint Bartley, personally I thought he was our better centreback last year in term of his game play, but he dosent fist bump the crowd so gets slated more than Jansson.

He does need to work on a couple of things, he is by no means a fantastic centrehalf, but he dosent deserve the abuse he gets particularly over his rashness and his cards when everyone praises Berardi for been a headcase when he does exactly the same

My head says, everyone should stay off it.

Only on twitter and barely post, and all I see is people abusing people all day.

Firstly the companies need to police it better and if they doesn’t work, police involved

Ive never had a Twitter myself, I understand why clubs would want to use it, after all football is an entertainment industry and club want their fans as intwined with the club as possible.

However i don’t get players on social media at times or how some clubs seem not to manage it.

The amount of meetings and training sessions I’ve sat in as a teacher where the focus is on social media...

Due to the nature of the job we are told how to best manage our accounts what/how we should respond to and importantly why and what happens when teachers don’t/won’t follow basic on line rules.

Find Twitter totally incomprehensible, have no idea why anybody would want to "follow" somebody in any social media outlet. Not interested in what Justin Beaver thinks.
Gave up on Facebook cos it gave me an inferiority complex.

Coops is Leeds through and through. Yes, he can be a bit rash in the tackle, but he is one of the players who I would pick to improve significantly under Bielsa.
Last season was not a good indicator of what our players are capable of. There was no cohesion or winning focus after the first 10 games. Bielsa will bring that back to us.
Coops would die for the white shirt and will give everything he's got to make this new regime work.

Agreed, Cooper along with alioski and probably viera are the players I’m most interested to see the results of the new managers methods

The sendings off apart, always seen him as a good bread and butter central defender - comfortable at this level. Still feel being next to Bellusci did him no favours.

He invites pressure onto us via his lack of ability and decision making

He is supposed to be captain so stupid rash decisions are not part of his job description. BTW not excusing Beradi either if he cannot control his temper he is a liability and needs to go

Like all clubs we have some numpty fans but twitter and FB seem to bring them out in droves.

Coops is a good lad. Not the best player but his heart is in it and his desire is first rate.

Might suit three at the back - I agree there. And yes he was as good, if not better than Pontus last season.

posted on 16/6/18

I like him, can play and a left footer, think he's a decent fella as well,

posted on 16/6/18

pontus has to step it up big time. last year the games i was able to watch cooper was better in every aspect of the game.
as far as twitter goes any thing trump likes can't be good.

There is a massive diffence in peoples opinion on cooper with them who go regular and them who don’t

not keen on him LIW?

Cooper been good last season

posted on 16/6/18

Cooper is a really stable player. Want us to bring in a good centre back this summer. But Cooper and Jansson are both good options to have.

posted on 16/6/18

Captains need to lead by example.

His red cards have been due to him losing his head and/or just poor judgement.

Additionally many of his clearances are poor, putting additional pressure on the team.

Good coaching should improve him and he deserves a chance with a new boss in place.

Ramos does it every week and is captain of biggest club in world.

Cooper. Average championship defender.
Hes ok at this level but makes too many mistakes to be a "promotion player"

Rash tackles and red cards we all know about but the mistakes are usually when he leaves the line to make a tackle or header and fails to make it leaving the space behind him for opposition to then exploit.

His heading is a problem. 50p head. Never seem to know where it is going. Same with his clearances. Too many slices.

Struggles against players running at him 1-on-1 but then thats most CBs worst nightmare because generally attackers are quicker than defenders.

Hes a left sided CB which is always a positive.
Hes a great left foot long ball switch but uses it too often and becomes predictable.

For me if you have aspirations to be promoted hes a number 3 centre back who covers for injuries and suspensions.
