Leeds United supporters react to line-up for Arsenal clash as striker selection debated

Leeds United supporters have reacted to their side's starting lineup for their home match against Premier League leaders Arsenal with boss Jesse Marsch making one change to the side that lost 2-1 at Crystal Palace last weekend with Luis Sinisterra replacing Patrick Bamford.

The Columbian winger missed the trip to south London through suspension having been sent off against Aston Villa the week prior whilst Bamford hasn't scored a senior goal for United since December last year.

There is also a place on the bench for left-back Junior Firpo who has returned from a knock whilst summer signing Wilfried Gnonto, who was included in the final 20 shortlist for the FIFA Golden Boy award, hasn't made the squad and is still waiting for his Premier League debut.

But how have Leeds fans reacted to the decision to make just one change with Sinisterra returning to action immediately after his suspension?

@RyanVanHopkins tweeted: "There are goals in this squad, can we maybe have a few today, please."

@DSmivers_ tweeted: "Quite concerning. Bamford seems to be a broken man."

@jwilliamhorner tweeted: "Now... that is a front 4 I can get behind!!!"

@Jack_T_92 tweeted: "Would rather a fully fit Rodrigo start over a half fit Bamford."

@ConnorMOT92 tweeted: "We are a better side with Bamford in it. Rodrigo is a different type of striker, he doesn’t hold the ball up like Bamford does"

@SimonBennett tweeted: "No issue with lineup. Rodrigo started season as No9, did well then got dropped back to No10. Why? Gnonto needs to be an option as physically he’s a unit. Bamford if needed (and he will be) gets to come on. Sensational if we get anything Can Cooper improve?"

@copers247 tweeted: "Klich would have been a good option today, if only to get under Xhaka's skin"
