Leeds United supporters all say the same thing after Chelsea team selection

Leeds United supporters gave a mixed reaction to Jesse Marsch's team selection against Chelsea. Another injury to Patrick Bamford last weekend has forced the American into a rethink up front , with many calling for Joe Gelhardt to be given his chance up.

New arrival Luis Sinisterra is another who Whites supporters have urged to be thrown into the side. The Colombian international made his debut for Leeds in the 2-2 draw against Southampton, making a six-minute cameo at St Mary's.

However, Marsch has opted against both players and will hand Daniel James his first start of the campaign. It is likely he will play out wide, with Rodrigo tasked to lead the attack.

As always, debate among supporters sparked following the announcement. This is how Leeds fans reacted to the team news on social media ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.

@JamesRo29324102: "Why no Sinisterra starting?"

@Sinisterralufc: "Sinisterra???

@RecordJ: "This looks suspiciously like the front line of last year."

@eddieemw: "Gelhardt and Sini off the bench around 60 minutes will be nice if we aren’t already being spanked by them."

@ConnorMOT92: "Sinisterra instead of James then the lineup would be absolutely spot on."

@lufctalker: "Shame Gelhardt or Sini not quite fit to start, Rodrigo up top hopefully."

@harrymc71652458: "Why James over Joffy and Sinisterra?"

@PingoftheNooooot: "I don't get why people are complaining about Joffy and Sinisterra, clearly both coming back from injury. They will make great impact subs in the second half."
