A lot of Leeds United fans were not happy with Helder Costa’s display in the Whites’ 1-0 win over Middlesbrough.
The man on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers failed to score or assist for the 10th game in a row and was bailed out by Mateusz Klich, who scored his fourth league goal of the season to ensure Marcelo Bielsa’s men left the Riverside with three points.
Have you given up on Helder Costa?
Yes
No
However, the performance of Costa infuriated these Whites fans.
Genuinely think Helder Costa is scared of his own shadow #lufc

What do we think?
The 26-year-old, who is valued at £10.8m by Transfermarkt, has made 35 league appearances for Leeds this season and has contributed three goals in the league, providing a further two assists.
According to WhoScored, he averages a 6.66/10 match rating in the league, and his latest performance earned him a 7.36 score.
Costa has arguably not hit the levels he did when he was with Wolves, and it seems many fans have now lost patience with him.
Leeds face Hull City next, and Costa will hope he can play better against the Tigers than he has for most of the season.
