Leeds United: Fans agree with Marcelo Bielsa after comments on Eddie Nketiah

Leeds United fans have been agreeing with manager Marcelo Bielsa after he spoke about Eddie Nketiah and his loan spell at the club.

The Argentine coach revealed that he doesn’t know why Arsenal recalled the 20-year-old forward (via Phil Hay). He also disclosed that when his side was in talks with the Premier League giants over a transfer for the player, they did not guarantee him minutes.

Despite the comments regarding the England youth international’s exit, Nketiah was given a good send-off by the fans as they clapped him off the pitch after the 1-1 draw away to West Bromwich Albion. And with Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City all linked with a move for the player, he looks set for a reunion with the West Yorkshire supporters in the second half of this season (via football.london).

Fans were left agreeing with their boss after his comments on the forward, who scored five goals for the club as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:

Which is bang right! No player can come in and demand to play x amounts of minutes. Come in work hard and if you get your chance take it! Don’t expect it to be handed to you because you’re on loan from a PL club

Bielsa is absolutely right but Arsenal and Nketiah are also right in wanting him to play more. Just didn’t work out for him at Leeds

And Bielsa is bang on, no one is guaranteed a starting place and this is why Bielsa is the best coach in the world

9 points clear of third why change a winning system, he made an impact of the bench and was gonna be given a starting place up until he got injured, no ones entitled to a starting spot without proving it
