A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from Graham Smyth that includes a piece with quotes from Huddersfield Town’s chairman.
Phil Hodgkinson speaking to the And He Takes That Chance podcast (Via the Yorkshire Evening Post) claimed that the Terriers have a better squad than the Whites and that if you blended the two, then, in his opinion, Huddersfield have a better squad barring one or two.
Hodgkinson explained that it is the system that Marcelo Bielsa uses that gets the best out of the players he has.
This has not gone down well with many Leeds fans who are confused with Hodgkinson’s claims.
Bold. I'll give him that. https://t.co/e9E4ApBPgL

What do we think?
The Terriers started the season poorly and when they sacked Jan Siewert, they were in 20th.
Are you baffled by these comments?
Yes, what is he talking about
No, I see his point
Under Danny Cowley, they have made a bit of a recovery but are still only 18th in the league.
The Whites, on the other hand, are top of the Championship and have won five league matches in a row.
Bielsa is a tactical genius (According to planet football) and has inspired many top coaches, but to say that Huddersfield have a better squad than Leeds, to us, is harsh on the current Whites squad.
