Leeds United fans have blasted Ezgjan Alioski for his performance during the Whites’ 2-1 Championship loss to Derby County on Tuesday night.

Hamburg loanee Pierre-Michel Lasogga had given Leeds the lead within 10 minutes, after Samu Saiz played the ball into the target man to finish past ex-Leeds goalkeeper Scott Carson.

Fans’ criticism of the 17-time Macedonia international has been building for a while now and many of it poured over on to Twitter as the Elland Road faithful used social media to vent their anger, with one fan even claiming Alioski has been “stealing a living for a while”.
