Paul Robinson has criticised Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia on BBC Radio 5 Live for not using forward Wilfried Gnonto regularly.
The former Leeds star believes that Gracia needs to start Gnonto in matches now.
The BBC Sport pundit has raved about the 19-year-old Italy international, and has said that the teenager has been the best player for the West Yorkshire this campaign.
Gracia did not start Gnonto against Chelsea or against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Robinson said: “He is not playing Gnonto who has been Leeds’s best player all season. He is the most attacking threat that they have got, he is direct, he has a goal threat, he has got some great assists.”
HITC Verdict: Use Wilfried Gnonto regularly
In our view, Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia should make regular use of Wilfried Gnonto now.
We believe that the Italian youngster has done enough to show that he is good enough to start for Leeds week in and week out.
As Robinson notes, the teenager is direct and is a goal-threat.
Leeds are struggling in front of goals, and they need to solve that.
Gnonto has pace and skills to get past opposition players.
The 19-year-old has made 11 starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds so far this season.
The Italian has scored two goals and given two assists in those games.
