Did Junior Firpo overreact to Meslier's error vs Sunderland?

Transcript

00:00I think it showed what it means to Junior Firpo at the minute to play for Leeds, that he responded

00:06in that way. And others were able to compose themselves, I suppose, and put the disappointment

00:13to the back of their minds because they went straight to Melie and everyone reacts in different

00:17ways. It doesn't mean that one is more passionate than the other or one is more professional than

00:21the other or one is more of a teammate than the other. I'm quite sure that Melie knows that Firpo

00:27has got his back as a teammate. But when you see that and when you've played like he had,

00:32Junior Firpo, when you've got forward and scored a goal that looks like the winner,

00:36then I can only imagine. If it happened on a Monday night, I would be probably walking off

00:44as well and my head would have fallen off completely because you just can't legislate

00:49for it. And Farker didn't. He didn't come out and say... What I expected him to say was,

00:56we have to remember that Ilhan is still a young goalkeeper. We also have to remember that

00:59he's saved us on many occasions and made many great, important saves. That was the line I

01:04expected. But even Farker didn't really attempt to put a spin on it, so to say. He basically said,

01:12I can't explain it. And I've had an explanation from Pascal, who was close, who said the ball

01:16took a really wicked spin. But he wasn't really attempting to mollycoddle Melie, was he?

01:24No, he wasn't. And fair play because I think he got it spot on. There is no legislating for that.

01:32It is just a howler. Melie will know it better than anyone.

01:37Again, Junior Firpo, when they get back into that dressing room,

01:41you can imagine that Firpo's had a little bit of time to cool down. He's been in timeout.

01:45He's taken himself away. He's sat in the corner. He's thought about it. You know for a fact that

01:51whether it be in the dressing room or whether it be when he comes back from international duty with

01:55the Dominican Republic, having relaxed in the Caribbean for a little while,

02:01I think there will be a nice arm around the shoulder, Firpo saying, look, I know what it

02:07looked like. I'm really sorry, but what can you do? And I think Melie will do exactly the same.

02:13I think he will have apologised to everyone straight away.
