Leeds lost 4-1 in Saturday’s only Premier League fixture after Arsenal ran riot at Elland Road. The Leeds fans were fuming with the result and let the players and Marcelo Bielsa know how they felt.
After tearing into the players, it was then Bielsa’s turn. After watching how the game unfolded and hearing what he had to say post-match, the Leeds supporters were fuming.
Could Bielsa be sacked by Leeds?Yes!
No!

They took to Twitter to voice their concerns with the manager and his tactics.
How the Leeds fans reacted to Bielsa’s comments
“Thanks for everything Marcelo. Please now step aside for someone who understands how to change the system to suit the opponent. Oh and someone who realises the need to have more than 18 senior players.” @zz9zsa
“Marcelo I love you, but please swallow your pride and make a plan B to see us through this difficult period. We can’t keep playing the same way when we have all these injuries.” @FormbyGeore
“Time to go…” @Nsimpson351
“Bielsa just staring at the ground as he knows he’s lost the plot and probably the team with his stupid man marking tactics.” @PaulHurved
“You know what would happen at a top six side come on we can’t continue like this, this is depressing.” @markbro20064199
“It’s been obvious all season. So hold him and he club to account? Why is it just being tolerated that the same thing is allowed to take place week in week out without people asking hard questions of the club?” @flyhsuk
“Boring, same old rubbish” @georgelufc
Clearly unhappy with the manager after the game, but Leeds fans have also given Bielsa plenty of support, with his name being chanted at Elland Road during and after the game.
It seems like the majority of supporters are sympathising with him given the state of the injury crisis at the club. Despite the sympathy, it’s evident that the supporters feel he does need to change something and adapt to each game accordingly.
It’s a crucial period coming up for Leeds, who could see themselves drop into the Premier League relegation zone if Burnley and Watford manage to get two wins and one win respectively in the games in hand they have over the Yorkshire club.
