A lot of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to discuss how Pablo Hernandez played for the Whites on Saturday.
Did Hernandez play well on Saturday?
Yes
No
The 34-year-old received a 7/10 rating from the Yorkshire Evening Post and a rating 6.66 rating from WhoScored. However, some Whites fans were concerned by his display.
Can you please tell me how Hernandez scored more than harrison I thought it was his worst game in a leeds shirt and one of harrisons best didn’t see Pablo do one good thing as much as I love him #Lufc

I thought Costa had one of his best games in a Leeds shirt, Pablo for me was slightly off the pace, maybe he needs more rotation to get his best but it was a tremendous team performance yesterday

Other Whites supporters, though, were happy with his display.
Think we’re all coaches! In hour heads. Works against us sometimes. But I don’t see Leeds United going up without Pablo…think that little fella has something up his sleeve…

We looked much more like Leeds United of early this season… Pablo on form, clean sheet, Ayling a machine. Wingers not bad at all. Yeah Bamford missed a sitter but you can’t have everything. Augustin nearly got his goal.
We won that’s all that matters 3 big points!— Simon ?? (@ElGaineseo) February 15, 2020
Leeds were fantastic yesterday! Saw elements of our best football. What a difference a week can make. Dallas, Cooper, Phillips, ayling and Hernandez the standouts for me but Harrison, costa and bamford brilliant as well. White back to his best too. Klich brilliant and Kiko solid

I thought Dallas had a terrific game at LB. I feel much safer with him playing, than with Alioski.
Good to see Pablo Hernandez have the freedom to play out on the right wing when he feels like it.
Using our players in their best positions, could get us over the line. #LUFC— Anders has opinions (@BenBuford11) February 15, 2020
What do we think?
Before the game on Saturday, Hernandez had recorded seven direct goal involvements against Bristol City in his seven league games against them.
The Spaniard, though, did not hit those heights this time around.
However, the former Swansea City man, who is valued at £1.8m by Transfermarkt, is 34 now, and the intensity of the league could be catching up with him.
So far this season, he has scored four goals and provided four assists, so it will be interesting to see how many more he can add before the end of the year, and with just 13 games of the season remaining, his performances could be crucial for the Whites.
