OPINION
It was an up and down season for Leeds United that will be remembered in two different ways. There will be great pride that Marcelo Bielsa managed to transform a Leeds side that finished in the bottom half the season before into a team that was on the verge of automatic promotion. On the other hand, there will be great regret that the Whites eventually managed to throw it all away by finishing third and losing in the play-off semi-finals at the beginning of May. One of the main talking points from Elland Road was the similar form of both keepers Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Kiko Casilla. Peacock-Farrell started in goal for the Whites until January until Casilla arrived from Real Madrid and took charge of the number one spot until the end of the season. Both endured tough periods in goal with both making mistakes in crucial parts of the season. Northern Irish international, Peacock-Farrell recently admitted that if he was not to get first-team action next season, he may look to leave the club, as quoted by journalist Wayne Gardiner. Many Leeds fans reacted with dismay and fumed on Twitter over the 22-year-old’s remarks with one fan saying: “Get out then. You’re lucky to be at our club.”
This is Futbol picked out some of the best responses below:
We need a decent keeper, BPF & Casilla are not good enough.

Not a fan of that mentality. He's 22. Got much to learn.

Not good enough yet to demand the number one position. In time maybe but at his age you have to earn the right to start.

He made a lot of costly errors last season. He can’t complain about being dropped. Cost us at least 6 goals
