Marcelo Bielsa’s unwillingness to start Arsenal loanee Eddie Nketiah is beginning to become a problem among the Leeds United fan base.
Since his arrival at the club, Arsenal fans have gathered in their numbers, urging Bielsa to give the young striker his chance in the side.
However, the former Argentina and Chile boss has opted to remain loyal to Patrick Bamford.
After his goal against Preston on Tuesday night, these Leeds fans are now starting to vent their frustrations towards Bielsa.
Twitter: Well that’s ended the Bamford v Nketiah debate. Unless of course, you’re Marcelo Bielsa. #LUFC (@LUFCDATA)
Twitter: @LUFCDATA Pressure must be put on Bielsa to start Eddie. Even as stubborn as he is, surely he is not totally blind… https://t.co/L4KfrsELQV (@AlamLufc)
Twitter: @LUFCDATA First time I have felt MB is not a god! Subs too late and I agree Eddie needs to start (@Smallback1955)
Twitter: @LUFCDATA He’s not above criticism and this can’t continue, we have the players to win those games yet his stubbornness puts us a goal down (@joetmatherton)
Twitter: @LUFCDATA That has to be the turning point now. (@LUFC_NewsOnline)
Twitter: @LUFCDATA Fans will start to turn on Bielsa if he opts for Bamford on Saturday. (@JamesPurvis21)
Read Arsenal verdict
You always expected Arsenal fans to back their man, but now it looks like Leeds supporters are starting to change their tune as well.
Leeds have a big game against Sheffield Wednesday this weekend and Bielsa will no doubt be under pressure to bring Nketiah into the starting line up.
If Nketiah continues to watch on from the sidelines, it will only increase speculation of a January return to Arsenal for the striker.
