Ezgjan Alioski has come in for some criticism for his recent Leeds performances.

Ezgjan Alioski’s form has coincided with Leeds United’s abysmal run of losses as he struggles to adapt to life in the Championship – and fans want Thomas Christiansen to drop the hot-headed winger.

Alioski, 25, joined the Yorkshire giants this summer from Swiss side FC Lugano and started the season in explosive fashion, exciting Leeds fans with his direct style of play, flamboyance and aggression.

However, in recent matches the Macedonia international has failed to hit the heights that saw him shine earlier in the season, managing only goal throughout the entire term in a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest back in August.

Leeds are in the middle of a dismal patch of form, losing six of their last seven league and cup outings and something needs to change if they are going to stop the rot.

The Elland Road faithful believe dropping Alioski and giving someone else a chance could prove to be the key as the Whites travel to Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

One fan even urged Christiansen to drop the beach blonde ace as he believes his side “need leaders, not sheep”, while another fan claimed he has “not adapted to the league yet”.
