Matthew Pennington joined Leeds United on a season-long loan deal from Everton in the summer transfer window.
The West Yorkshire outfit’s recent results and performances have not been great, and the players have been criticised.
Although Pennington, who joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from Everton in the summer transfer window, has done his best, the central defender could have done better.
One suspects that there is more to come from the 23-year-old, who could develop into a very important player for Thomas Christiansen’s side as the season progresses.
The former England Under-19 international does not seem to be too bothered by the personal criticism, and has outlined how he reacts.
“It is the same in football everywhere,” Pennington told The Yorkshire Post. “You are only as good as your last game so last week when we beat Bristol (City) it was all brilliant.
“Then we get beat by Sheffield (United) and everything is not so good any more. It is all about the last game. But now we are focusing on the next one.
“Anyway, personal criticism is part of the game. It is something you have got to take on the chin and react from.”
Leeds will return to action this evening when they take on Derby County at Elland Road in the Championship.
The Whites will head into the match on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United at home, but the fans should be optimistic about a win.
