In Patrick Bamford’s surprise absence, Eddie Nketiah was handed his first league start of the season, but he wasn’t one of the four others on the scoresheet – instead, the goals came from Helder Costa, Jack Harrison, Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas.
It has led to fans assessing the 20-year-old’s performance…
One supporter blasted him for his lack of pace, referencing that he could have eaten a lot over the festive period while another claimed the striker had gone missing, as he frequently does.
The fact he didn’t score despite the side bagging five was also brought up by some.
Others also noticed his actions post-game, which has left many questioning his future at the club.
Those that saw it seem to believe that Nketiah was waving goodbye as if it were his last game in a Leeds strip, but given the Whites play West Brom on New Year’s Day, it could be too soon to tell exactly what the future holds.
A further member of the Elland Road faithful offered an opinion on the situation by stating that he wouldn’t mind sending him back and trying to get another option in instead, such as Che Adams.
As far fetched as that is.
Bamford was on commentary duty as he missed this game as a precaution, meaning he should be fit to return against the Baggies in a few days time.
Leeds could well be in for a busy January irrespective of what happens. There’s a promotion push at hand either way.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
And in other Leeds news, is Bielsa missing this player from his ranks?
