A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to comments made by Marcelo Bielsa after his side lost 1-0 to QPR to leave them with one win in seven league games and just four points above third place.
The Argentine admitted that the Whites were in their worst moment in the Championship.
Is Bielsa at fault for Leeds' slump?
Yes, he needs to sort it out
No, it is those above him who are at fault
Bielsa also said that he wished he had a player like Eddie Nketiah on the bench to come on and change the match.
It seems that some Whites supporters, though, are growing frustrated with Bielsa as his team looks to be failing at the worst possible time of the season.
Bielsa says Leeds are in "our worst moment in the Championship." Said he missed a player like Nketiah on the bench today, to let him make a change up front. No updates from him on transfers. #lufc

Tbh he is deffo partly to blame for Eddie leaving – had ample opportunities to start or put him on earlier when games weren’t going our way. Love bielsa as much as the next person. But his stubbornness and esp timing of subs at times are baffling.

Get shut of bielsa and promote CC to manager and hell use edmondson, think he has more about him to get this team going, fail this year and we will be a laughing stock of the league and will go back to the dark days

His refusal to play anyone but bamford, or two up front is costing us promotion. So no good moaning about losing him back to Arsenal when his game time was so limited. New tactics and players requires #lufc

People aren’t buying it any more Phil. We’re experiencing some sort of horrid groundhog day. Don’t they say that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing twice and expect a different outcome?

Get over it Bielsa he’s gone. You hardly used him when he was here anyway. Instead of rotation you insist on same tired players every week

If Bielsa was so good why can’t he implement a change of system now and again, so predictable in final third, please let there be no more debate about Bamford, he isn’t good enough and the rest mental strength awful, there is a reason why they are playing in the championship.

What do we think?
Bielsa seems to be frustrated with what is happening, but at the moment, he only has one fit striker in Patrick Bamford.
The 26-year-old had a nightmare on Saturday as he missed a penalty (1:47) and a clear one-on-one opportunity. (1:25)
Leeds need a striker, and that is Victor Orta’s job.
However, Bielsa also needs to change something as the Whites are struggling to score goals and keep them out.
It is not a good combination, and Bielsa must now prove his worth or the Whites could be in danger of missing out on promotion.
