Leeds United right-back Stuart Dallas has featured in every single one of the club’s Championship fixtures so far this season (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
These Whites fans have been discussing just how key Dallas has become to Marcelo Bielsa’s side on Twitter, with many claiming he’s been their player of the season after Phil Hay praised his season’s performances.
Has Stuart Dallas been LUFC's player of the season?
Yes
No
The transformation under Bielsa is frightening! He’s become an integral part of this Team.

My player of season, 100% in any position he plays.

Tell you what Phil, for a guy that a couple of years ago was seen as someone who “could do a job” and was more a squad player, he is having one hell of a season. He’s more than proven himself for me. And I was a doubter.

He reminds me of James Milner in his work ethic, versatility and reliability. Definitely my player of the season.

I love the guy, plays anywhere, never complains & leads by example. I’ll never forget his performance v Derby at home, when everyone around him lost composure, he ran his heart out. He deserves all the praise in the world

He’s been fantastic this season. I’ll be honest, I’d written him off before the season but he’s really proved me wrong and I’m delighted for him. Deserves the season he’s having. #lufc #topman

What do we think?
Signed from Brentford back in 2015 for a reported fee of £1.71m (via Transfermarkt.co.uk), Dallas has made 181 appearances for the club, scoring 17 goals and providing 13 assists. His average performance rating in the Championship this season currently stands at 6.84/10 according to WhoScored.com and he was particularly impressive versus Reading at the weekend.
The Whites travel to Middlesbrough on Wednesday as they look to take another step towards securing automatic promotion.
