Leeds United supporters left feeling split as Javi Gracia reveals starting XI to face Fulham

Leeds United supporters have given their thoughts on the starting XI Javi Gracia has chosen to face off against Fulham at Craven Cottage this afternoon.

Taking three points back to Elland Road would be massive for the Whites this afternoon, as it'd extend their gap to the bottom three which is currently just two points.

It's been back-to-back heavy defeats for Gracia's side, who have faced a barrage of critics over the past few weeks for their sudden spiral in form - something this side the Spaniard has chosen must stop today against the Cottagers, a side they've lost to twice already this season.

Illan Meslier continues to start in goal despite calls from fans and pundits alike for the French shot-stopper to be dropped following a tough few matches in recent weeks.

Austrian centre-back Max Wober returns to the starting lineup after recovering from his thigh injury where he'll play at left-back, with the central pairing being Robin Koch and captain Liam Cooper as Rasmus Kristensen completes the defensive line.

Marc Roca and Weston McKennie keep their places sat in front of the back four, while Crysencio Summerville comes in to replace Luis Sinisterra who drops to the bench.

Jack Harrison, Brenden Aaronson and Rodrigo all retain their places, with the rest of the bench made up of Joel Robles, Luke Ayling, Junior Firpo, Pascal Struijk, Adam Forshaw, Georginio Rutter, Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto.

Many Leeds fans took to social media to discuss the lineup in what could be a vital game in their season, with some delighted at the players chosen while others pointed out Aaronson's continuing starts despite his lack of numbers going forward.
