'Klich needs a rest' Whites fans want benched midfielder back in starting XI

"He has the quick feet and the vision" - those were the words of one Leeds United fan taking part in the latest Leeds United WhatsApp poll ahead of the trip to Sheffield Wednesday. 

The debate over whether Eddie Nketiah should start ahead of Patrick Bamford has dominated talk among fans and pundits alike. And while Bielsa looks set to stick to his guns on his preferred starting striker, we've taken a look at another area of the field and a possible selection dilemma.

Tyler Roberts impressed massively last season, particularly towards the end, but injury saw him miss the first six weeks of this most recent Championship campaign.

Back on the bench and looking bright when he's come on, we put the question to fans over whether he should in fact be starting for Leeds going forward.

This is the result of the poll:

Not everyone is convinced now is the time for Tyler to take his place, but the overwhelming majority of fans - 83 per cent - want to see him come in. This is what some fans who voted yes had to say on WhatsApp:
