OPINION
It was an awful performance by Leeds United all over the pitch against Norwich in their 3-1 defeat on Saturday, but one player who particularly stood out for being poor was Adam Forshaw – again. The 27-year-old somehow managed to start over Kalvin Phillips for the Elland Road showdown, and that was clearly a major mistake by Marcelo Bielsa with the ex-Middlesbrough man responsible for losing possession in the build-up to Norwich’s second-goal. Phillips is so much better than Forshaw in every way and it was a baffling decision for Bielsa to leave him on the bench on Saturday. Some Leeds fans have understandably torn Forshaw to shreds for his display against Norwich. If the Whites go up this season then there’s no way that Forshaw would be able to cut it in the Premier League because based on his performances in the last couple of months, he would hardly stand out in a mid-table Championship side.

Adam Forshaw should never put a Leeds shirt on again! Absolute garbage

For me as disappointing a performance as West Brom away , midfield was overun , Forshaw and Ayling also caused problems for ourselves by losing possession, hopefully back with a bang against Boro.#lufc
