Leeds United Goalkeeper Robert Green Says 'Flair Comes With Time' Ahead of Vital Brighton Clash

Published on: 13 March 2017

Leeds United goalkeeper Robert Green believes that hisside will become an entertaining one in time.


The club's success this season has been built on their defensive performances more than their attacking prowess, with the Elland Road side conceding 36 goals this season, the fourth best record in the Championship.


Speaking to theYorkshire Evening Post, Green said the side will learn to play without thinking in the future.

It's about understanding that and trying something different in a game,� he said, regarding Leeds' recent 0-0 with Queens Park Rangers.


We played a lot of passes and a lot of square balls, wanting to break them down, but sometimes you can try something different just for the hell of it, just to mix it up. That comes with experience and it comes with not worrying about the consequences so much.


Playing with freedom in front of large crowds is something that comes with time. You look at the best players in the world and they don't think about what they do. It's that lack of thought as opposed to thinking too much about everything.

But in the end you look at the results around us. A couple of teams lost and QPR have had a turnaround in form, coming to us on the back of two wins. They made it hard but it's a point a closer to the end goal.�


Leeds look set to reach the playoffs, but could reduce the gap between themselves and second placedBrighton to eight pointswhen they host the Seagulls, who could reach the top of the Championship should Newcastle slip up at Birmingham.
