Leeds United suffered a thumping defeat at the hands of West Brom this weekend and enter the international break in the midst of a fierce promotion challenge.
A 4-1 defeat to the Baggies saw the Peacocks slip from the summit of the Championship table to third, behind Middlesbrough and Norwich City, while West Brom are now just two points behind the Yorkshire giants.
With just four points separating Leeds from tenth-placed QPR, the pressure upon Marcelo Bielsa’s side has increased significantly and the experienced Argentine boss was criticised for some of the decisions he made in the match.
Fan-favourite Barry Douglas was hauled off as a second-half substitute and Leeds fans were quick to express their fury at the tactical change on social media, although plenty pointed out he had earned the right to make mistakes after a superb start to life at Elland Road.
We have gathered some of the best reactions below.

His substitutions yesterday were truly shocking, how Dallas stayed on the pitch I will never know & agree completely with the comments about Allioski

Bielsa has earned the right to make mistakes.

Dallas has started 5 games in the league.
We’ve won once against a mediocre Wigan team when he’s started.
Say no https://t.co/nQVfnMr48z wonder Douglas was frustrated.And his replacement Harrison hasn’t exactly set the world on fire— Philip Hobbs (@PhilipHobbsMOT) November 11, 2018
Bad day all round but I would never have taken Douglas off before Alioski. I clearly must be missing something #lufc

To take a natural player off to replace him with another player that shouldnt be in our team.

Never like to me be too negative but it didn’t really work
