Leeds United supporters debate Jesse Marsch decision after Brentford team news confirmed

Leeds United supporters have questioned Jesse Marsch’s decision to start Brenden Aaronson for the Whites’ home clash against Brentford at Elland Road.

Marsch makes one change to the starting line-up which lost 2-1 against Aston Villa in their previous league outing, with Max Wober replacing Liam Cooper in defence.

Club record signing Georginio Rutter is named among the substitutes, while Luis Sinisterra and Patrick Bamford also feature on the bench.

The Whites defeated Cardiff City 5-2 to book their place in the FA Cup fourth round on Wednesday, but are winless in their last five in the Premier League.

Brentford have collected three wins on the bounce against West Ham, Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth respectively, and sit ninth place in the table.

Here is how Leeds supporters have been reacting on social media…

@Summerville_SZN Not bad. Aaronson needed dropping though, can’t see what he offers this moment in time.

@StuDalgleish Think Aaronson is still there until Sini gets fully fit. But then can anyone other than him play as a 10, Gnonto is so good down the wing, same as Sini.

@MellyMaestro It’s so strange to have multiple, potentially game-changing attacking on the bench. Doesn’t feel like 5 minutes since it felt more like we needed a chair rather than a whole bench.

@BarryBadKnees Like the kid, but thought Aaronson maybe should’ve sat out of this one. Sharper, more on form players are sat on the bench. Can’t see him getting much change out of Norgaard.

@R6_lufc Honestly Aaronson would be better coming on than starting for now.

@19leeds19 Can’t see why people prefer Ayling over Kristensen.

@Collzinho09 Strongest bench I can remember for a while!

@TTBR101 Why Aaronson over Rutter.

@Luke78097281 How does Aaronson still make the 11 after his consistent run of poor form?

@jordgray21 Why is Ayling even close to the team.

@JamesLUFC05 Please Aaronson turn up.

@jonro1465 No Cooper but gives Koch and Struijk a chance to show what they can do.
