COMMENTARY
Most Leeds United fans would admit that they have been putting Ezgjan Alioski under serious pressure for his performances this season but the under fire winger seems to have turned things around in the eyes of the Elland Road faithful against Blackburn Rovers. His display had the supporters delighted on Twitter and many put it down to his move over to the right hand flank rather than his usual left wing role. He has always shown the ability to excite fans with his electric performances but it has often been his decision making which has let him down. However that was different on Boxing Day with a display which had Rovers constantly under the cosh. If he can continue to perform in this manner for the rest of the season then Leeds have a real ace up their sleeve – what a turnaround that would be for the Macedonian after his criticism earlier in the campaign.
This is Futbol has rounded up a selection of the supporters’ tweets:

Alioski on the right is a different player #lufc

Strong half. Could easily be 2 up. Impressed with Alioski and Harrison on the wings – would love to go and kill this before the hour mark
