Leeds United fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest post from winger Ian Poveda.
This comes after the Englishman shared a post on his official Twitter account after making his debut for Marcelo Bielsa’s side during their 2-0 defeat away to Cardiff City at the weekend.
In his post, Poveda included two images of himself in action for Leeds during the defeat. The winger also captioned his post claiming that match was a “bittersweet moment” for him before adding that this defeat to Cardiff was “not the result” the team wanted but that he was “happy” to make his debut for the club.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Leeds fans who were quick to share their messages in response to Poveda’s tweet.
Here’s a sample of Leeds fans responding to the post:

The 20-year-old joined the club back in the January transfer window on a free transfer (per Transfermarkt).
Looked sharp??

Against Cardiff, Poveda came on in the 76th minute to make his first appearance in a Leeds shirt and earned himself a match rating of 6/10 for his efforts (per WhoScored).
Probably the only positive to come out of the game lad ???
Can’t wait to see you get some game time

One fan even likened Poveda to a younger version of Leeds’ Pablo Hernandez.
Young Pablo

Were you impressed by Poveda's debut?
Yes
No
It’s good to see Poveda taking the time to show his pride at having made his debut for the club, despite the poor result.
The response to his post from this group of Leeds fans just goes to show how impressed they were with the 20-year-old’s cameo debut.
These fans will be hoping now that Poveda can kick on with his Leeds career and get even more playing time from now until the end of the season as the club aims to win promotion the Premier League.
