Pablo Hernandez, injuries, season ratings, 49ers and key Leeds United questions answered

Leeds United are at the start of what is going to feel like the longest international break in years.

The optimism and energy after the 3-0 win over Aston Villa has been turned since the back-to-back 4-1 losses to Leicester City and Crystal Palace.

One defeat in four has given way to one win in five for the Whites, who have suddenly plummeted down the Premier League to 15th place.

We want to hear from you on the season so far and what you have made of the first eight matches of the campaign. Use the comments below.

Beren Cross on Palace 4-1 Leeds United

Which have been your favourite matches? Your best performances? Your best players so far? What’s disappointed you?

On Saturday we had what felt like our first selection drama under Marcelo Bielsa, who opted to leave out a fully-fit talisman like Pablo Hernandez from his squad.

Hernandez has since tried to diffuse the situation with an apology on Instagram for Monday’s reaction, but Bielsa has not drawn the dots for us on why he left him out.

What did you make of the situation? Did Bielsa make the right call? Could he have handled it differently? Should he have explained more?

Let us know in the comments below and Beren Cross will get involved with his own answers and opinions on the big talking points.
