Shocking cardiff ratings at leeds as players turn in worst performance of season

HERE IS HOW THE PLAYERS RATED IN THE CLASH AT ELLAND ROAD 17:13, 01 Feb 2025 JAK ALNWICK 2 Was rounded by Dan James for the first goal but made one or two smart saves. Might have done better

for Wilfried Gnonto's strike, too. ANDY RINOMHOTA 2 Struggled to get hold of Junior Firpo's bombing runs down that flank and was booked for a cynical foul just before the break.

Tough afternoon. DIMITRIOS GOUTAS 4 (STAR MAN) Played Cardiff into trouble early on with a poor pass but otherwise did OK in the circumstances. Pick of the lot, probably. JESPER DALAND 2 His

form has been patchy since arriving and this was just another little dip. Struggled today. CALLUM O'DOWDA 2 Dan James tore him to ribbons at times - he has done so to many a

Championship defender this term - and he brought him down for the penalty for the fourth. CALUM CHAMBERS 3 Had to drop into centre-back midway through the first half in an attempt to stem

the flow of Leeds' attack. Struggled like everyone, though. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here. JOE RALLS 2 A poor outing from the skipper and his midfield partners as

the hosts dominated that area of the park. Struggled to make any real impact and got the runaround. ALEX ROBERTSON 3 Same as above, really. Had to drop deeper to get on the ball and even

then couldn't really impart his influence on proceedings. Had one strike from distance saved. CIAN ASHFORD 2 Came into it full of confidence but soon realised the task he was facing.

Had to drop deep to track the dangerous Firpo and couldn't get anything going in attack. Off day. WHATSAPP: JOIN THE CARDIFF CITY BREAKING NEWS AND TOP STORIES WHATSAPP COMMUNITY CALLUM

ROBINSON 3 Didn't have a great deal of service and barely had a sniff at goal. Tough afternoon to be a lone Cardiff City striker, that's for sure. ANWAR EL GHAZI 3 Started

brightly but then really faded and looked frustrated. Again, it was a tough outing for all City's forwards, quite frankly. SUBS Yousef Salech (El Ghazi 57) 3 - Actually got stuck into

the Leeds centre backs but didn't have a sniff, really. Joel Bagan (Daland 57) 3 - Made one or two interventions but couldn't stem the tide. Sivert Mannsverk (Ralls 67) 4 - A debut

he will want to forget in a hurry - but he, personally, showed one or two flashes. Article continues below Perry Ng (Ashford 67) 3 - Sixth goal was slotted in between him and the

centre-backs but that's splitting hairs. One of those days. Will Fish (O'Dowda 81) NA
