Crysencio Summerville, a winger for Leeds United, had a bad day on Saturday as the Whites lost 3-1 to Southampton.
After falling down by three goals in the first half, Southampton, another team in the relegation zone, defeated Daniel Farke’s team 3-1 to drop their second game of the year.
Collectively, Daniel Farke’s team didn’t play well enough, and the manager will undoubtedly own that he made mistakes as well.
Adam Armstrong went through on the blind side of Liam Cooper to chip Illan Meslier before the away fans had much time to get into their seats for the start of the game.
Will Smallbone, who waltzed into the area virtually unobserved by Leeds’ backtracking defense and midfield, calmly diverted a Kamaldeen Sulemana cut-back into the far corner to give Russell Martins’ team a two-goal lead.
Armstrong’s second goal before halftime virtually ended the game when he skipped past Sam Byram, with Pascal Struijk’s bundled goal serving as little more than a consolation.
Crysencio Summerville made the observation
There is no need to single out any one person because St Mary’s has a lot of issues that make the entire team look subpar.
The YEP’s Graham Smyth noted that the midfield tracking of Smallbone’s unparalleled run was insufficient, but the second goal stands out.
The Saints player scored, and Crysencio Summerville ran back as the goal was scored:
“His dribbling may have caused issues and drawn fouls in advantageous spots, but his lack of urgency when Will Smallbone was trailing the running back was not a good look.”
Jogging back when down 1-0 is unacceptable, but Summerville is not known for his lack of effort; in fact, you could say that he has consistently gone above and above for us.
Every week, he gets booted about the field, especially by Smallbone, who was fortunate to avoid getting sent off moments before his goal.
As much as he could have beaten Smallbone by sprinting five yards, Glen Kamara and Ethan Ampadu could have also kept tabs on him.
From front to back, everything was lacking in quality.
