Gaetano Berardi was sent off for Leeds United on Saturday…..again.

Leeds captain Gaetano Berardi in action during The Emirates FA Cup Third Round match between Newport County and Leeds United at Rodney Parade on January 7, 2018 in Newport, Wales.

Some Leeds United fans on Twitter don’t believe that Gaetano Berardi should play for the club again.

The Swiss defender picked up a third red card of the season on Saturday as Leeds drew 1-1 with relegation-threatened Sunderland at Elland Road.

Berardi, usually a right-back, was playing at left-back and was given his marching orders for a reckless lunge on Callum McManaman in the closing stages.

Consequently, the 29-year-old, who earns around £8,000 per week at Leeds, will not play again this season due to suspension according to The Yorkshire Evening Post.

And fans of the West Yorkshire side believe that it could and should be his last ever act in a Leeds shirt.

Here is some of the responses:

Berardi is contracted to United until 2020, but his ill discipline this season certainly gives Director of Football Victor Orta a decision to make. On one hand he can be a very useful defender, who can occupy several different positions, but he might just be becoming more hassle than he’s worth.
