Unfortunately for Jesse Marsch’s side, they couldn’t hold onto the three points. Giving James Ward-Prowse a sniff from a dead ball situation is never sensible, with the English midfielder making Leeds pay to salvage a point for the visitors.
The Leeds supporters were still frustrated on Sunday morning, taking to Twitter to attack players, with Mateusz Klich being targeted by one supporter. Klich was having none of it, replying to him in no uncertain terms.
This isn’t the first time he’s received abuse either, as he deleted his Twitter account because of it in December.
With most players having social media professionals running the accounts for them, you rarely see players getting involved in this sort of ‘dispute’ on social media. Due to the PR perspective of social media and being a professional athlete, it’s rather unexpected to see a player stand up for themselves, especially one who previously shied away from any negativity when deleting his Twitter.
Although there’ll be some people that think he should have just left it and not got involved, the replies to his Tweet suggests that the Leeds fans love him for responding to a negative Tweet.
He was Leeds’ lowest rated player on Saturday with a 6.2/10 as per SofaScore, losing the ball on 12 occasions while giving away three fouls.
