da fazobetai: A number of Leeds United supporters have hit out at left-back Ezgjan Alioski on social media for his first-half display against Tottenham on Saturday lunchtime, although he did grab an assist late in the opening 45 minutes.
da betobet: Marcelo Bielsa kept with the same side which lost 2-0 to Brighton last time out, with Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha fit enough for a place on the bench.
Alioski came in for criticism from some Whites fans on the south coast last week and it hasn’t gone any better this time around back in Yorkshire.
The 29-year-old was making his 26th Premier League start of the season and 35th appearance in all competitions during the current campaign.
The North Macedonia international was coming up against Spurs winger Gareth Bale at Elland Road, however, he failed to follow the run of Heung-min Son midway through the opening 45, with the South Korea star cancelling out Stuart Dallas’ opener.
He did bounce back by setting up Patrick Bamford just before the break, but it was of course his defensive lapses which really got fans talking.

This is what these Leeds supporters had to say about Alioski, with one describing his display as ‘awful’.
