A lot of Leeds United fans have reacted to Stuart Dallas’ tweet about the Whites’ 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.
Is Dallas right to just move on?
Yes, the league is the priority for Leeds
No, they should be annoyed they lost to Arsenal
The 28-year-old decided to focus entirely on the league in his tweet, and this has gone down well on Twitter with many Whites fans.
Sadly it wasn’t to be but we now throw everything we have at the league. We are in for 1 hell off a ride for the next 3/4 months. Sit tight and strap yourself in #mot #alaw @lufc @ Emerites Stadium https://t.co/CiXLUHh7Jv

Fantastic tweet Stuart. Phenomenal performance from the boys tonight. The best part is that whilst the media stood up and took notice, the fans were far from surprised. A sign of how well the team is playing this season. Keep up the brilliant work and bring on the Wendies!!

What a time to be alive Stuart, top of league, Bielsa and a quick trip to London to teach the gooners what the game’s really about. Hope you all enjoyed that (bar the result), did us all proud.

What do we think?
Leeds showed what they were about against Arsenal, and though they lost the match, they emerged with a lot of credit for taking the game to the Gunners and forcing them into mistakes.
The only problem was they could not get a goal, and in the second half, they were punished by Arsenal through Reiss Nelson.
Dallas, who is valued at £1.8m by Transfermarkt, performed well for Leeds, but he is right; the focus must now be on the league to ensure that trips to the Emirates are not just a rare occurrence.
Leeds showed that they belong in the Premier League, so it is up to them to ensure they get there.
