# Leeds United: Fans tear into Ian Wright after his comments on Jean-Kevin Augustin

**Leeds United fans have been tearing into Ian Wright after the former Arsenal player commented on Jean-Kevin Augustin.**

The Premier League legend claimed that to get a player ‘up to speed’, you have to give him starts as he blasted Marcelo Bielsa for his comments about leaving the 22-year-old out last weekend [(via BBC 5 Live Sport)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000dztr). Augustin was left out of the squad entirely as the Whites went down 1-0 at home to Wigan Athletic with the Argentine claiming the centre-forward needs to adapt to the Yorkshire outfit’s style of play [(via Phil Hay)](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1223661878322388992).

It proved to be another day of missed chances as the side missed a plethora of good opportunities to beat the relegation candidates. Jack Harrison had one of the best chances as he managed to skew a shot wide from just two yards out [(via BBC)](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51246233). Fans have been showing their support for the former Olympique Marseille coach as they took to Twitter to hit out at Wright. Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
