Leeds captain Cooper on Fulham defeat: I'm angry, disappointed

Leeds captain Liam Cooper was left "angry" after defeat at home to Fulham.

The result sees Leeds drop into the bottom three.

Cooper said: "I'm angry, disappointed. We've let ourselves down. When we're on top we've got to take our chances and if you don't the pressure comes.

"Their goals were avoidable. We've got to be much better in those areas. We can't give teams chances like that and we've got to rectify that quickly.

"I understand the fans' anger, this club needs to be winning games and we're not doing that at the moment. We have to work hard and roll our sleeves up. We know what's expected of us and we've got to do that.

"We're fully behind the manager. We're all buying into his philosophy. We started well, got the first goal, then conceded a stupid goal - that's down to us. We've got to come out, fists flying, and get a result somewhere. We all have to take responsibility, as players, and get a performance for 90 minutes."
