Fans on social media were not happy with Leeds United 's poor first-half performance against Preston North End.
Alex Neil's Lilywhites caused Leeds all kinds of problems in the opening 45 minutes of their Boxing Day clash, and deservedly went into half-time with a 1-0 lead.
Alan Browne finished off a three-on-one counter attack to give the visitors their lead as Marcelo Bielsa's men struggled to cope with their press, often misplacing places and losing the shape collectively.
Here's what Leeds supporters on Twitter had to say:
Why do we look like we're playing with 10 men?? We look outnumbered #lufc

26mins in and I’ve never ever seen a performance like it, Jesus #LUFC

Leeds looking absolutely awful here! Sloppy, giving the ball away far to easily. Too easy for Preston #LUFC

Liam cooper went to pick up the midfielder and left white 3v1 at back he’s having a car crash game like derby on semis last season #lufc

They’ve done a job on us there. Not pretty, but we’ve been crap. The only upside is we probably can’t be that bad again in the second half. Probably. #LUFC

Awful. From the first kick. #lufc
