Leeds United supporters pull no punches with verdict on tame Leicester City defeat

Leeds United suffered a third straight league defeat as Leicester City climbed off the foot of the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Robin Koch diverted Dennis Praet's low cross into his net.

The Foxes doubled their advantage 10 minutes before the break, when Kieran Dewsbury-Hall teed up Harvey Barnes to apply an assured finish past Illan Meslier to cap an impressive attack.

Jesse March's side extended their winless run to seven games and only sit outside the relegation zone due to their superior goal difference over Aston Villa and Wolves. The pressure is mounting on Marsch and here is how Leeds fans reacted to the defeat in the East Midlands on social media.

@ALPLUFC How about we stay on the pitch and keep playing until we score a single goal? Let's see if this lot could make it back to Elland Road in time for Sunday's game.

@HarryHowell14 The away end tonight was immense. Even though there was nothing to shout about. This board have got every decision wrong except employing Bielsa, who turned water into wine. Time to sell up and take Marsch with you. Garbage.

@LUFCbeall Get rid.

@Damien_Cms The 4 changes to the starting line-up possibly stifled the momentum gained in the second half against Arsenal last week. Sinisterra looked good in spells but chances were limited. A couple of individual errors have cost us tonight. Hopefully we can eradicate those before Fulham. MOT.

@scottoneillLUFC Llorente should be nowhere near this team.

@seanfaulkner15 Not buying a LB in the summer will be a huge mistake. Dan James loan out for an incoming striker that's not playing when the two main strikers aren't scoring makes zero sense either. Muck tonight.

@SeanLeeds1989 The subs Jesse makes are baffling at times. Roca was running the show. No Harrison. No Italian International striker. No Ayling. A loss at Fulham and were in huge huge trouble. More so than when Bielsa was in a bad place.

@EllandRoadJoker Disgraceful.

@Garymarshall_85 Board done the dirty on Marcelo and then hung him out to dry and pinned blamed on him once he was gone. This is their doing!
