'Start Drameh!' - Leeds United supporters react to Jesse Marsch's team to face Real Sociedad

Leeds United supporters have given their thoughts on Jesse Marsch's starting XI that are set to face Real Sociedad tonight in what is to be their final winter break friendly before the return of the Premier League.

The Whites are looking to make it two wins over two different La Liga opponents in a week after their 2-1 win over Elche CF last week courtesy of two late goals from Joe Gelhardt and Mateusz Klich.

This time around, however, World Cup stars Rasmus Kristensen and Brenden Aaronson slot back into the starting XI after their international duties in Qatar.

Joel Robles keeps his place in goal, while Luke Ayling lines up alongside Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk in front of him along with Kristensen. Adam Forshaw, Marc Roca and Klich make up the midfield while Aaronson, Jack Harrison and Rodrigo lead the line for the Whites.

Last week's goalscorer Gelhardt drops to the bench as he's sat alongside Sam Greenwood, Wilfried Gnonto, Mateo Joseph and Sonny Perkins as attacking options for Marsch later on in the game.

The side differs slightly from what Leeds Live readers chose on average as their starting XI for the match which was as follows: Robles; Drameh, Llorente, Cooper, Struijk; Aaronson, Roca, Gyabi, Harrison; Rodrigo, Gelhardt.

Many took to social media to discuss the team news, with some less pleased with the line-up while others seemed up for the occasion...

@IrvineLUFC: 433 for the Whites??

@Mvrsh_vll: Only thing that excites me is Aaronson ngl #lufc #mot

@UnitedLeeds14: Meslier out again

@aarons1308: Forshaw is alive!!!

@TipsySnakehipsy: Start Drameh!

@MartinCBMRiley: Klich starting. Is this a last ditch attempt to convince him to stay? It's not gonna work Jesse.

@Bobster49213538: Give the old ones 30 mins then get the young guns on!
