Some Leeds United fans have been responding to a tweet that was recently posted by the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Graham Smyth, in which he shared a screenshot of an Instagram post that was recently made by Whites defender Robin Koch.
In his Instagram post, Koch poked some fun at Leeds teammate Mateusz Klich, as he shared an image of himself with a video game controller in his hands and captioned his post with the words: ‘Checking if @cli5hy’s left foot is online today.’
This comes after Klich found himself on the ball inside of the box with enough space to get a shot off in Leeds United’s 0-0 draw with Arsenal on Sunday, but the Polish midfielder missed the target with his left-footed shot. Following the match, Klich took to Instagram to share his disappointment at missing with this shot, as he posted an image of himself on the pitch which he captioned: ‘Unlucky today, left foot was offline.’
So, how did these Leeds United fans react to Koch’s Instagram post after it was shared by Smyth on Twitter?
Watching this one with great interest. A bold move, though, you have to give him that. pic.twitter.com/OyW14iBayT

Plenty of the Leeds fans who replied to this tweet reacted positively to this post from the Germany international.
Very banterful you have to say?

This won’t end well, although I too admire his courage.

Some fans of the Yorkshire club speculated about how Klich would react to this post from his teammate.
Klich’s gonna do a graffiti mural of one of Koch’s passes from yesterday going to an Arsenal player https://t.co/VmVvOnWtKP

Meanwhile, one particular Whites fan replied to Smyth’s tweet to share praise for Klich’s performance on Sunday despite his miss, while another Leeds supporter praised the midfielder for how he reacted to Koch’s post and shared a screenshot of his response.
Gotta say Klich was fantastic again on Sunday – could have slotted one of his chances but he was absolutely brilliant

Do you think Koch's post is funny?
YES
NO
Judging by the replies to Smyth’s tweet, it certainly seems as though this post from Koch has gone down well with some Leeds fans and it may be fair to say that these supporters of the Yorkshire club don’t seem to be too upset about Klich missing this opportunity versus Arsenal.
