These Leeds United fans sympathise with Marcelo Bielsa after his post-match comments from the Birmingham game.
Leeds fans probably felt every single emotion during their 5-4 win against Birmingham, a game that was settled in the 94th minute. Another bonus for the Peacocks fans may have been seeing Nketiah get his first start of the season, although he had appeared 15 times off the bench before getting this start.
Here’s what the Leeds fans had to say about Bielsa’s post-match comments, with many appearing to share the same viewpoint as the Argentine manager:
Bielsa asked if his heart is okay.
“I’m alive.”

Was that the craziest Leeds United game you've ever watched?
Yes
No
Helder Costa opened the scoring for Leeds, with teammates Jack Harrison, Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas also getting on the scoresheet. However, it was a Wes Harding own goal that gave Bielsa’s side all three points, although it seems fans may need some time to recover from what they’ve seen.
Yep, me too. If the pharmacy is closed tomorrow I’m in serious trouble.

What Do We Think?
Although the result gave Bielsa’s side three points, the Argentine manager might be concerned at the number of goals his side is currently conceding. Leeds have shipped nine goals in their last four matches, which is something they’ll need to fix in January.
At the end of the day, Leeds walked away with all the points in a tough fixture, putting them at the top of the Championship and clear of West Brom only on goal difference.
