'Having a mare', 'Gone missing' - Leeds fans furious with one attacker despite 3-1 win v QPR
Leeds United fans were left disappointed by Kalvin Phillips’ performance against Queens Park Rangers despite securing the crucial three points
The Whites beat QPR 3-1 at Loftus Road thanks to Kemar Roofe scoring a stunning hat-trick to earn his side all three points.
Ahead of the game, Leeds United sat eighth in the table, with eight more points than their opponents, after avoiding defeat in their last two league outings.
However, despite the 2-1 victory, fans were not happy with Phillips.
One fan said it was time to be honest and admit that the midfielder is generally a passenger in games.
There were also several fans calling for him to be replaced by Eunan O’Kane throughout the game, but O’Kane ended up replacing Ezgjan Alioski instead.

Phillips has been a regular for the Whites this season, featuring 20 times across all competitions and grabbing five goals in the process.
The midfielder came through the club as a youth player, with one fan implying that as he an academy product fans let him get away with poor performances.
The 22-year-old is contracted to the club until 2021.
Here are the best tweets from disgruntled Leeds United fans:

Phillips will need taking off shortly after half time. Don’t want another Ronny V at Wolves situation #lufc

Gunna take the academy rose tinted specks off but Phillips again is having a mare. Poor Vieira is getting dragged about trying to cover him. This in turn is creating a tonnes of space in Mid #lufc

Can see a Phillips red card here. Get O'Kane on and have some control in midfield.

Saiz having a rare bad game. Alioski been quiet. Phillips gone missing since his booking. Scrappy as they come but i for one cannot wait for Matt Smith to score a 91st minute winner

Phillips is either Pirlo or non exsistant #LUFC
