A football fanbase can often be an unforgiving arena, especially since the invention of social media and the fire and forget manner of posting, and after all the praise for on loan Arsenal starlet Eddie Nketiah and all the clamour for him to take the striking spot at Leeds United, it appears some fans have turned after his more recent performances.
With plenty of talk about a potential recall by his parent club given his lack of starting game time, the fly in the ointment became his injury a few weeks back but having returned to fitness, he featured in games against Middlesbrough, Huddersfield Town and last weekend’s clash (3-3 draw) with Cardiff City.
With plenty of talk about Bamford’s team ethic and Eddie’s understandable goalscoring focus, with him putting in another poor showing in the eyes of many, there are now those who couldn’t care if he disappears in January as they feel we need a better option.
How much of that reaction is down to losing a three goal advantage is open for debate though, but I’d guarantee it figures somewhere.
am i the only one that wouldn’t even be that annoyed if Nketiah went back? #lufc

agreed, if we get someone prepared to work harder then i’d take that

Let me tell you. Nketiah offers this team nothing. Walking about having been on the pitch 10 minutes. Thinks he’s above it. Send him back in Jan and give Edmondson a go. #lufc

Let him go back and bring in another player who plays in a similar style to Bamford so he can step into our current system and our game isn't compromised if Bamford is not playing.

Anyone wanting a reason for why Nketiah doesn’t get a look in, look no further than his laziness for the third goal #LUFC

A reminder people actually thought Nketiah was better then Bamford

Strong agree, Bamford does so much more than stick it in the net

If that’s what Eddie brings to the table when he comes on then sorry he can do one in Jan and get someone in that puts himself about

Unpopular opinion: Losing Eddie in January maybe a blessing in disguise. No doubt he is a goal scorer but doesnt suit our style go and get Kodja on loan instead #lufc

Nketiah will be going back in jan I hope another diabolical performance from him today

Is Eddie's Time Up
Yes, Doesn't Offer Enough
No, Give Him Time To Find His Form Again
