Leeds United earned a draw at Griffin Park on Tuesday night having come from behind after Kiko Casilla’s error against Brentford. Fortunately for the Whites, both Nottingham Forest and more recently Fulham failed to win their respective fixtures meaning Marcelo Bielsa’s side stay, at least for the time being, in the second automatic promotion spot.
The Argentine coach was pictured reluctantly shaking hands with TalkSPORT’s Ian Abrahams in London on Tuesday night and the image has sparked quite the reaction on Twitter.
Will Bielsa be aware of Abraham's comments?
Yes
No
Back in December 2018, Abrahams said on TalkSPORT: “I think it’s bad for English football that Norwich and Leeds are the top two in the Championship, because if they get promoted that’s two more spaces denied to English coaches.”
Those comments didn’t go down well with the Leeds fans and they weren’t very complimentary of the reporter this time around, either.
He’ll know exactly who he is and what he’s said

Don’t understand why he isn’t under a universal restraining and banned from all grounds order.

“my good friend Marcelo Bielsa”

Bielsa showing he is elite

What do we think?
Leeds United will be fully focused on picking up all three points at the weekend versus Bristol City as they look to secure their place in next season’s Premier League. If Marcelo Bielsa’s side needed any more motivation, they need not look any further than Abrahams’ comments.
