Leeds United fans have been left far from impressed by Thomas Christiansen’s comments on Pierre Michel Lasogga, following the Whites’ 4-3 defeat against Millwall.

Leeds fans have been crying out for a new striker to be brought to Elland Road this month, after their struggles to find a prolific number nine this term.

However, Lasogga showed his class during Leeds’ last match, with the German forward scoring two well taken goals.

The powerful striker first finished impressively, before he blasted home a superb long-range strike.

And Christiansen hinted after the match to the Yorkshire Evening Post that Leeds’ need for a striker is not as urgent as some have made out.

“Before the game everyone said ‘we need a striker’. There, you have a striker,” the Danish boss said.

However, Christiansen’s sarcastic comments have not gone down well with Leeds supporters, who still want to see neater forward added.

Leeds still lost to Millwall, and frustrations are growing at Elland Road.

The Whites have been linked with a whole host of forwards this month, but they are yet to bring in a new front-man.
