Just seen this, he said something on Yorkshire Radio about long ball tactics not suiting Leeds United. Apparently he was shouting something at Warnock after he scored on Monday as well?

Playing McCormack in the right position in essential. His first touch is class, he can create chances, and although doesn't score enough and goes through dry spells, his dropping back into midfield really helps the team keep the ball on the ground. And we saw last season, and this season as well, that he does score when up front, albeit not consistently enough.
Put him in the space behind Morrison or Poleon and he'd do a lot better. And we wouldn't lose the extra player in midfield either. We don't have any proper wingers or creative talent at the moment, so he's easily our best bet at creating chances.
Anyone hear McCormack's interview?

Talented player, but as his record shows inconsistent! In theory next season should see him score a hatful after the dry season he had this term.

Keeping out of the pubs in wetherby might help him even more.

He's a hot and cold player, more cold than hot, means he's inconsistent, which means he's unreliable, which means he's not what we're after when it comes to saying "we need a decent striker".
Becchio, the player we don't have, will be our top scorer this season.

Thing is, he's been played on the wing most of the season. He's terrible on the wing, doesn't have the turn of pace or agility to get past his man and be a threat from wide positions.
In the centre, he roams, comes deep and gets chances. He still is a hot and cold player but would have scored more had he been played behind a main striker.
At this moment anyway, who in our team is going to create or score chances?
