Under-pressure Leeds boss Jesse Marsch was singled out for criticism by his own club’s fans as the West Yorkshire side slipped to a disappointing defeat at fellow strugglers Leicester.
The visitors were booed off at half-time as they trailed to a Robin Koch own goal and a second 10 minutes before the break from Harvey Barnes, who extended his record of scoring every time he plays against Leeds to five Premier League games.
Then, when Marsch replaced popular Colombian winger Luis Sinisterra with striker Joe Gelhardt 15 minutes from time, the visiting fans responded with more jeers and cries of ‘what is going on’.
The final whistle brought more negative chants and American Marsch’s position is starting to look shaky.
Leicester’s second win of the season was not enough to lift them out of the relegation zone, but it did move them to within a point of their 16th-placed opponents.
Out-of-form Leeds are winless in seven and not picked up a point away from Elland Road since 13 August.
We are definitely struggling again, the big problem is scoring again. We don’t want to be in another relegation battle again this season.
We’re need some wins before the World Cup starts next month.
League position 16th after 10 games – After 10 games last season, Leeds were 17th.
