This is how Leeds United fans reacted to Tyler Adams’ return to Elland Road
Tyler Adams returned to Elland Road with Bournemouth on Saturday.
Leeds have had an excellent start to life back in the Premier League, but face one of their biggest tests yet when high-flying Bounrmeouth travel to Elland Road.
Leeds have been boosted by the availability of Noah Okafor and Dan James, while the Cherries named Adams in their starting 11 for the clash on Saturday.
Given his past with the Whites, Leeds fans made their feelings clear on the USMNT international before a ball was even kicked.
Tyler Adams booed by Leeds support as name announced at Elland Road
Adams basically spoke down on Leeds after he departed Elland Road for a move to Bournemouth in 2023, claiming he couldnt care less about how supporters feel.
Since then, the feeling has been mutual, with Leeds fans eager to express their displeasure at the midfielder, who was named in the Cherries’ starting 11.
The first time his name was announced in the stadium, Leeds supporters were heard booing the midfielder, according to Beren Cross via X.
Adams tried to save face with comments made on Leeds’ support ahead of the game, though it has seemingly done very little to fix his reputation in this area of the country.
With that said, players often thrive in these situations, and Leeds will need to ensure that they don’t allow him to dominate anything in the midfield.
Leeds must not shy away from Bournemouth test
Bournemouth are expected to beat Leeds, and that will be a theme throughout the course of the Premier League campaign.
However, the Whites have more than enough quality to cause upsets in games like this, and despite their good start to the season, the Cherries can be vulnerable.
With Okafor starting on the wing and Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line, Leeds have an attacking threat, and it is now up to them to replicate the attacking display that was on show in their latest win against Wolves.
If the Whites can keep a clean sheet, they will become the first promoted side in 10 years to record one in each of their first three home games of a season
