COMMENTARY
It would be fair to say that Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has been getting plenty of attention for all the wrong reasons of late. The shot stopper publicly revealed that he was considering leaving the club if he was not getting game time under Marcelo Bielsa, having seen himself fall down the pecking order thanks to Kiko Casilla’s arrival. He went on to mention how the international games, Peacock-Farrell included in Northern Ireland’s squad for their European qualifiers, acted as a shop window for a potential future move – but his performance against Estonia left plenty to be desired. Many Leeds fans were left tearing the keeper to pieces for his efforts on Saturday evening, finding himself beaten by a long ranger free kick 25 minutes into the game. Some criticised his inability to build and position his wall properly, while others blasted his efforts to get down to save the shot. Thankfully for him his side turned the game around to win 2-1 but after his comments, this was not the sort of performance he would have wanted.
This is Futbol has gathered a selection of the Leeds fans’ fuming tweets:
Bpf was Ill advised to make such a comment when his form had been poor for us! Another standard mistake from him tonight – shocking!!

When you make bold comments like BPF has you really need to back it up in the next game you play, and from what I’ve seen in this Northern Ireland game he certainly hasn’t!

This obsession every time BPF gets mentioned is sad, just take the L he’s garbage and we need much much better, and kiko is better but we could do with a replacement for him aswell

Sounds like BPF's shop window has just been shattered #LUFC
