Leeds United have certainly come on leaps and bounds under Marcelo Bielsa as they find themselves in a promising position to secure promotion to the Premier League.
The Whites can’t afford many more slip-ups if they are to secure an automatic place in the Championship this season as there’re a number of clubs all fighting for a limited amount of places, with games coming thick and fast.
Sadly, Bielsa has had to deal with a couple of underperformers in the current campaign that just haven’t been able to have any sort of positive impact on proceedings. This problem needs to be sorted out almost immediately as it could affect their push for automatic promotion, with supporters feeling slightly concerned.
With that in mind, these TWO Leeds United players must be hated by the fans…
LEWIS BAKER
Lewis Baker joined on a season-long loan from Premier League side Chelsea during the summer transfer window as one of the most promising central midfielders in English football at the time. But, things have been far from perfect for the 23-year-old as he just can’t seem to buy a game, with Bielsa opting to leave him on the substitutes’ bench.
Indeed, the Englishman has failed to have a positive impact on proceedings during his limited amount of minutes on the field, which has resulted in Bielsa turning to other players in the squad.
SAMU SAIZ
Samu Saiz has been a bit of a mystery at Leeds United this season after enjoying such a successful time of things in the last campaign. The Spaniard managed to find the back of the net nine times and assisted eight last season, but he currently only has one goal and two assists to his name at this moment in time, which is less than acceptable.
The Whites’ fan-base would have been heavily reliant upon the attacker to deliver promotion to the Premier League prior to the start of this season, but at this moment in time he is one of the players that is halting their progress.
