A lot of Leeds United fans have replied to a post from LUFCMOT that includes quotes from Liam Cooper.
Cooper, speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, claimed that the Whites have sacrificed so much because they are going to have to finish the season without their families or the fans.
However, he insisted that the goal has not changed, and Leeds aim to be promoted, but they have to go out there and do it.
This drew the attention of many Leeds fans, who lauded Cooper.
Supa Dupa Captain Liam Cooper.

Captain Coops ???

Cooper has been transformed by Marcelo Bielsa, who has played him in 68 matches since the Argentine arrived at Elland Road before the 2018/19 season.
Do you agree with Cooper's message?
Yes, he is spot on
No, I don't understand it
The 28-year-old was once seen as not good enough by many Whites fans, but it is clear that he is now appreciated by a lot of them.
Yes Boss!! Our Captain ????

These are strong words from Cooper, and they coincide with Phil Hay’s piece on how the Whites feel about the return to action.
Hay claims that everyone is ready to go out and finish the season and win promotion to the Premier League after the EFL confirmed the Championship would be returning.
This has pleased many Leeds fans who are sending words of encouragement to Cooper and the squad, though, one fan claimed that Cooper had now jinxed promotion.
Go on lads.. let’s go win the championship

Leeds were in superb form before the enforced break, having won five league games in a row – so if they can pick up where they left off, then the Whites could have a good chance of winning promotion to the top-flight.
However, as Cooper said, they will not be able to do it in front of fans after the EFL confirmed the season would be finished behind closed doors.
The truth is, though, that probably won’t matter as long as the Whites win promotion.
