Some Leeds United fans have slammed Joleon Lescott on Twitter for his comments about head coach Marcelo Bielsa on Saturday afternoon.

Leeds got the better of Manchester City 2-1 away from home at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League yesterday.

The West Yorkshire outfit had to play the entire second half with 10 men due to the dismissal of Liam Cooper in first-half injury time.

The match was broadcast live on BT Sports, and one of the pundits was former Aston Villa and Manchester City central defender Lescott.

The BT Sports pundit said that Leeds have reached their ceiling with Bielsa, and said that if they continue to play the way they do under the Argentine, then they may not get into Europe.

Under Bielsa, Leeds play a high-pressing game, and although they concede a lot of goals, they never give up and are always on the hunt for more goals.
