Leeds United were beaten by Nottingham Forest at the weekend, in a damaging blow to their promotion chances.

Leeds United fans have hammered Marcelo Bielsa, after he said in the Yorkshire Evening Post that his side had ‘better players’ than Nottingham Forest.

Leeds’ bad form continued at the weekend, as they were beaten 2-0 by Forest at the City Ground.

The Whites’ performance throughout the contest was poor, as Forest were good value for their victory.

After the match Bielsa took the blame for the defeat and suggested that his side had underperformed.

“We had better players than the opponent, but what we did wasn’t enough to avoid another defeat,” he said. Trying to give an explanation now is not useful. The resources the team have is enough.”

The comments have not gone down well with Leeds fans though, who are becoming frustrated.

Leeds had looked well on course for promotion this term, but a terrible run of form now has put their top two place in serious doubt.

Only goal difference separates Leeds from Fulham in third, and they face a hugely testing tie on Tuesday evening when they take on Brentford.
