A lot of Leeds United fans have voiced their thoughts on the performance of Liam Cooper in their Carabao Cup defeat on Tuesday night to Arsenal. 

The 30-year-old came on as a second-half substitute for Diego Llorente, however, he played a huge part in Arsenal’s second goal of the evening.

Should Liam Cooper be starting in the league for LUFC?

Yes

Yes

No

No

His header back to the goalkeeper, Illan Meslier, did not have enough power behind it and allowed the former Leeds loanee Eddie Nketiah through on goal before slotting into an empty net.

Leeds fans flocked to Twitter to vent their rage at the Scottish centre-back who is still under contract with the Yorkshire side until the summer of 2024.

What did these fans have to say?

“Liam cooper is past it.”

“LIAM COOPER CAN NOT PLAY FOR LEEDS AGAIN”
“Nothing makes my blood boil more then watching Liam Cooper in that back 4. By far the worse centre back in history.”
“League Two level”
“Championship player at best!!!!”
“That is absolutely terrible from Cooper.”
“Absolutely shocking”
“Time for you to go Mr Liam Cooper.”

Leeds now turn their attention back to Premier League action with an away trip to face Norwich City on the weekend and Cooper has already played every minute of Premier League action this season.

Although the 6ft 1″ ace has played a prominent role in Marcelo Bielsa’s league side, it is apparent these Leeds fans would like to see him dropped for the upcoming trip to Carrow Road.
