'Pain,' 'Disaster' - Leeds United supporters are gutted as key man misses Arsenal clash

Marcelo Bielsa, manager of Leeds United, takes a drink whilst sat on his bucket during the Premier League match between Leeds United and Everton at Elland Road on February 3, 2021

Kalvin Phillips misses out for Leeds United with Jamie Shackleton getting the nod, meaning Pablo Hernandez comes back onto the bench.

The Whites have gained with 32 points from 22 games so far this campaign after a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace last time out.

The Gunners are currently have earned 31 points from 23 fixtures so far this season, following a 1-0 loss against Aston Villa in their last Premier League fixture.

But how did Leeds United supporters react to news of Bielsa’s starting XI on social media – simply scroll Down to take a look:

@footballxaddict: “SHACKS STARTING!!!!!”

@kianlufc: “Phillips not even on the bench. Pain.”

@Timjohn26: “No Kalvin. Disaster. Lucky to get draw now. Such a worse team with out him.”

@Restinklichface: “I'm so pleased for Shacks and was hoping that this would be the line-up if Kalvin was unavailable. Looking forward to the game - go Leeds.”

@lufc_ha: “Announce 3-0 loss and Pepe red card.”

@aelodrrgiedge: “That midfield 3 is gonna run rings around Arsenal- super mobile, all good on the ball. Fancy us here.”

@B_Huds0n: “Decent, Hernandez back! Hoping Klich drops to a deeper midfield position rather than disturbing the backline and putting Struijk in the midfield.”

@BrettStorey73: “Without Phillips I'm going for a 1-1 draw today.”

@KeithP274: “Dallas in the Phillips role and Struijk at CB please.”

@Nathan37942578: “Hopefully its Shackleton in CM and Dallas at DM, with Struijk staying at CB.”
