Many Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to Marcelo Bielsa’s starting XI against Norwich City in the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have endured a difficult start to the campaign, currently sitting 18th in the table with just a solitary victory in the Premier League this season after nine games.

Leeds picked up an important point in their latest Premier League clash against Wolves on Saturday, with Rodrigo scoring a stoppage-time penalty to equalise against Bruno Lage’s men and will now be looking to secure a crucial victory at Carrow Road this afternoon which could really kickstart the Yorkshire outfit’s season.

However, Bielsa has made the highly controversial call to omit Joe Gelhardt from his starting XI in the vital clash against Daniel Farke’s side this afternoon, while also continuing with Liam Cooper.

Will Raphinha leave Leeds in the summer?

Yes

Yes

No

No

And, after hearing about that, some Leeds fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts.

What did Leeds fans have to say about it?

“Gelhardt deserves a gelstart”

@youoveranyone

“Free Gelhardt”

@Fraudielsea

“Firpo fit but not in side, Struijk in CDM when he can’t play CDM, Gelhardt benched despite being our most positive attacking player in recent games!”

@BiggestSheldon1

“Think the formation is wrong here. It’ll be a 3-3-1-3 or 3-5-2 presumably as Norwich play 2 up front. We better not have James up front again too. Dk how Gelhardt and Summerville don’t get in over Harrison or James atm either”

@JACKLUFC1919

“We’re gonna lose to the worst team in prem history”

@callumgee

“Does feel like him and Gelhardt can’t really do much more and especially with how poor James and Harrison are atm”

@JACKLUFC1919

“Gelhardt robbed”

@_liamb_

“Cooper. Bielsa really does have it in for us. Well played Norwich .. a deserved win”

@JakeWilde

Sunday’s game is simply a must win for Bielsa’s men, while a draw or a defeat will only raise further question marks about their start to the season.
