Image for Leeds: Fans react to Graham Smyth’s tweet

A lot of Leeds United fans adore Graham Smyth’s latest tweet after he replied to a post from Juan Mata.

The Manchester United man had seen a video online of a young goalkeeper in self-isolation practising his skills on his own.

Against which team did Leeds record their biggest home win?

The video shows the young kid kicking the ball off a fence and then diving to stop it going in the goal.

We think it is a very smart idea, and Mata saw the video and invited the kid to practice with him once this viral outbreak is over.

This is a lovely gesture from the Spaniard, but the kid seems to be a Leeds fan considering he is wearing the Whites’ goalkeeper strip.

Do you like this tweet from Smyth?

Yes

Yes

No

No

This prompted Smyth to reply to Mata with ‘You’re not Pablo’ – which drew a great reaction from these Whites fans – which may stem in part from the animosity between Leeds and Manchester United.

What do we think?

Smyth is joking but, it has still gone down very well from many Leeds fans, and we also find it funny.

However, Mata’s gesture to the young boy is very kind, and we hope that once this is all over, he does indeed follow through with what he said.
