Leeds United fans have flocked to Twitter to share their criticism for Whites midfielder Mateusz Klich and his performance during Leeds’ 4-1 defeat to Leicester City at Elland Road.
Coming off the back of a strong 3-0 win over Aston Villa away from home in which Klich earned himself a match rating of 7.34/10 (as per WhoScored), Leeds couldn’t repeat the same result against the Foxes.
Klich’s performance, in particular, caught the attention of a number of Leeds fans, who took the opportunity to share their thoughts on the 30-year-old’s performance.
So, what did these Leeds fans make of Klich’s performance against Leicester?
Just to add, Klich is directly at fault for the 2nd goal, allows Tielemans to run into the box unmarked to make the finish. Utterly utterly awful tonight and should be nowhere near DM against Palace.

First game I’ve seen Klich look totally lost. That position is not for him at all

Leeds signed the midfielder, who is now valued at £3.15 million (as per Transfermarkt), back in 2017 from Dutch side FC Twente for a fee of £1.53 million. Overall, the 30-year-old has made a total of 114 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, in which he has managed to score 19 goals and provide 16 assists along the way (per Transfermarkt).
Without any protection for the back four, looked so easy to cut through us. Klich just didn’t look good there at all.

Can’t believe Klich is getting more votes than Harrison. I thought Jack had a decent game, whereas I thought Klich had one of his worst in a while

Stupid challenge to be fair sums up Klich’s performance. Better second half but just not at it tonight far too many mistakes you just can’t make at this level. We move on. #lufc

Do you think Klich had a bad game against Leicester?
Yes
No
One of the worst games I’ve seen Klich have so far…!

Leeds Live gave Klich a match rating of 5/10 for his performance against Leicester, stating that he “enjoyed himself more in the second half when Leicester retreated back and gave the Pole space in deep, but when the pressure was on in the first half, there was no protection for the defenders. Klich was out of position plenty and there were costly errors thrown in, too.”
Klich has been very poor tonight. #lufc

I wouldn’t really say anyone played well tbh. Klich was the worst player on the pitch IMO. Absolute killed us defensively. Closely followed by Pablo.

Klich is, and has been, a total liability. #LUFC

Looking at these tweets from this group of Leeds fans, it’s clear that they weren’t happy with Klich’s performance against Leicester. Moving forward, the best thing Klich and Leeds can do now would be to put this game behind them and focus on getting a positive result and putting in a good performance in their next league fixture.
