Leeds United went into half-time against Crystal Palace on Saturday 3-1 down after a disappointing start in the capital.

Scott Dann gave the hosts the lead from a corner early on, and Eberechi Eze scored a free-kick after Patrick Bamford had a goal shocking chalked off for offside.

Marcelo Bielsa was forced into two changes before the game, with his defence going to three-at-the-back to deal with Palace's two attackers.

Robin Koch played at the heart of that three, and he didn't have the best 45 minutes of his Leeds career at Selhurst Park.

The German international made a number of mistakes and his first came for the Palace opener, losing Dann far too easily and being physically overpowered.

The second came minutes later when he made the foul for the free-kick that was powered home by Eze, a sign he needed to wake up.

Leeds started to dominate after that, and that gave Koch a well-earned rest from the attacks from the likes of Wilfried Zaha.

Many Leeds fans have reacted to the first-half display of Koch in London, and they weren't happy with what they saw.

The majority claimed that he is making too many mistakes in every single game he plays, after he did the same against Leicester on Monday.

Really not sure about Koch - far to many mistakes in him #LUFC

He may be a German international but Koch is a liability in defence, so many errors. #lufc

That VAR decision is nearly as bad as Koch as a player! Hopefully Diego has something about him #LUFC
