'Penalty or no penalty, we weren't good enough'
Everton defender Jake O'Brien has described Monday's defeat at Leeds United as "very frustrating and very disappointing".The towering centre-back was critical of the penalty award that led to the hosts' winner, but also said, even without that call, his team simply were not performing well enough to secure a result."I don't know where he is supposed to put his arm. He is tucked in as much as he can, and it's as behind as much as he can put it," O'Brien told BBC Radio Merseyside.I don't know what the referee wanted him to do, but there is nothing he can do. It is very harsh."It's natural that he has put his body on the line, and it's literally behind him in a natural position. They took five minutes to look at it, and they still couldn't see that it was in a natural position."But penalty or no penalty, we weren't good enough and we didn't create enough. There were times we didn't look up to it, but the next game is coming up fast."Listen to more from O'Brien on BBC Sounds
