The Leeds United fans saying the same thing as Brentford expose Marcelo Bielsa's weary side

Leeds United are facing Brentford in west London this afternoon (Easter Monday) and it's fair to say it is not going to plan for Marcelo Bielsa's side.

The promotion hopefuls were unable to take the lead in the first half, despite dominating possession for large periods, and they were made to pay minutes before the break.

Neal Maupay continued his excellent season by smashing home the opening goal and leaving Leeds with plenty of work to do in the second half, with their chances of automatic promotion slipping away.

It was the Frenchman's 24th league goal of a remarkable season - and 27th overall - the best return from a Brentford player since Nicky Forster in the 1994-95 season.

And it came from his first clear sight at goal, having been largely starved of opportunities in the first half, with most of the Brentford chances falling to Sergi Canos.

Things then got worse for Leeds in the second half as Sergi Canos doubled the Bees's advantage after being played in by Maupay.

Leeds need a win to pull level on points with Sheffield United in second spot and anything less would give the Blades a significant advantage heading into the final two games of the season.

Here's what the Leeds fans are saying on social media.
