Nice easy one to start with, who scored Leeds' first goal of the PL season?

Pope’s tweet confirmed that in his place Tyler Roberts or Rodrigo would fill in.

This post drew the attention of these Whites fans who are now demanding their club sign someone to replace Hernandez.

Do Leeds need a Hernandez replacement?

Yes, we can't rely on him all season

No, he will be enough

No, he will be enough

The former Swansea City man is 35 now, and though he played in the Whites’ first Premier League game against Liverpool, he missed the Fulham match, and now it has been confirmed he will be out for another two weeks.

Last week against Fulham, Bielsa started Rodrigo alongside Mateusz Klich, but at half-time, he replaced him with Roberts, so it will be interesting to see who Bielsa picks for Leeds’ clash with Sheffield United.

This post continued to draw the attention of these Whites fans.

Hernandez was instrumental for Leeds last season as he scored nine league goals and provided nine assists, including three goals and three assists during the restart.

His Premier League record is also decent having scored five goals and provided 15 assists in 58 appearances.

However, considering he is 35, you can see why some Whites fans feel that they need a replacement for him, and the club have been heavily linked with Rodrigo De Paul and now Teun Koopmeiners.

So, we will have to see if Leeds sign either, but for now, they will have to make do with either Roberts playing instead of Hernandez or Rodrigo.
