Leeds flop Brolin admits 'go slow' tactics for Liverpool thrashing

Leeds United flop Thomas Brolin admits 'going slow' during his time at Elland Road.

He is widely regarded to be one of the worst Premier League imports of all time.

"It may not sound that bad, to be a wide midfielder at Leeds, but the defensive responsibilities I had - it was not like when I had Roland Nilsson behind me in the Swedish national team," he told Offside.

"At Leeds I was going to run up and down the right like an idiot. That wasn't me. So I decided I was going to be p*** poor against Liverpool."

Leeds lost 5-0 against Liverpool, which marked the beginning of the end of his career at Elland Road, just a few months after arriving.
