Loads of Leeds fans have been reacting to some comments from Luke Ayling, and they’re heaping praise on their tough tackling right back.

Ayling has been talking to the Yorkshire Evening Post about the intense training regime under Marcelo Bielsa, and Leeds fans are loving the full back’s comments.

The 27 year-old made the switch from Bristol City to Leeds in 2016, and has racked up over 70 Championship appearances at Elland Road.

It is no coincidence that his injury last season coincided with the club’s nightmare run of form, and his presence on the right flank this season has been a huge part of lifting Leeds into first place.

A lot has been made of Bielsa’s tactics, but Ayling has been speaking about the fitness regime under the new boss, and it sounds like he’s loving it.

“I’m the fittest, the skinniest, the leanest I’ve been,” Ayling said.

“I thought I was skinny before but he came in and said ‘no, four kilos is what you’ve got to lose’. We had weight targets to reach each day.”

“Last year we went there and tried our hardest, we still tried to play our game, but some of the boys got caught out by how hostile it was and how Millwall played,” he continued, discussing the impending trip to the Den.

“It’s pretty much the same team this year, not many changes from the team who went down there last year, but people can see we’re a different team to last year. I think we can stand up to this kind of threat and this kind of style of play.”

The versatile fan favourite has been in fine form so far this season, and fans are heaping praise on him ahead of the trip to Millwall.
