Loads of Leeds fans have been giving their verdict on the form of Samuel Saiz, as the Spaniard is still yet to find his first league goal of the season.

Saiz has become an incredibly frustrating player to watch, as on his day the Leeds playmaker looks simply unplayable.

However, his inconsistency and poor end product have taken him from being an integral part of Marcelo Bielsa’s plans to merely the super-sub, having started four of the last five games from the bench.

Former Wigan & Fulham man, Jimmy Bullard recently showed that he’s still got it! Check out the video below...

He has grabbed two assists during that five-game stretch, but the 27 year-old has played nowhere near his potential.

The Whites travel to face a struggling Bolton side on Saturday, but the Wanderers have conceded just 29 goals this season, the least of any team 14^th or lower, so they won’t be easy to break down.

Saiz’s vision, together with his tendency to draw multiple defenders his way, could prove key in opening the hosts up on Saturday, but his poor form is a major concern for Bielsa.

You can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below, where one fan thinks he wants out after Phil Hay claimed Getafe are chasing his services…

Class player, no other player like him in this league. Once we him back firing.. boom! Just needs a goal for his confidence!

For me he tries to do too much, get him back to basics and let his confidence grow. He is forever trying to beat six players and curl one in, would love to see him beat two and assist a striker…. #abitgreedyattimes

His lack of goals, for a player of his stature is truly amazing

Gone in January, sad but true according to the ears I know

Saiz needs an arm around his shoulder, he needs to feel he is loved. Atm he isnt getting that. All man management

Not really played well since the Derby game? Was excellent then. Is he just not as good as we all thought?

Last season didn’t Saiz his form dip in cold weather. Which coincided with him ban
