Leeds United supporters weigh in on 'huff and puff' during goalless draw with Brentford

Leeds United fans have vented their frustration after Jesse Marsch's side were held to a 0-0 draw against Brentford at Elland Road in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Whites went into the match against the Bees knowing that they hadn't won in the league since a 4-3 victory over Bournemouth back in November. After losing 2-1 to Aston Villa last week, Marsch admitted that it was the best performance he had seen from his side in his 11 months in charge - yet they failed to build on that display with a win.

Despite a promising first-half, Leeds failed to find a way past Thomas Frank's side who were posing a threat on the break with Ivan Toney. David Raya was called into action in goal for Brentford with a superb save to deny Willy Gnonto in the second-half, yet Marsch's side simply could not unlock a stubborn Brentford defence, as they showed why they currently sit in eighth place above both Liverpool and Chelsea.

New signing Georginio Rutter remained as a substitute for the entire 90 minutes, while Patrick Bamford and Luis Sinisterra were thrown on after the break in a bid to claim all three points. As the full-time whistle blew, fans took to social media to share their frustration over what could have been.

Leeds are next in action on Saturday 28 January in their FA Cup fourth round tie against the winner of Accrington Stanley vs Boreham Wood, with their replay taking place on Tuesday night.
