A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Robin Koch’s performance in the Whites’ 1-0 defeat to Wolves on Monday.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side played some outstanding football at Elland Road. However, they were punished for not making the most of their pressure. Raul Jimenez’s deflected effort in the second-half proved to be the only goal of the game.

Leeds can still take plenty of positives from the match. Many supporters were able to take a step back and appreciate how far they have come as they are now being left disappointed over a defeat to Wolves – who have finished in the top-half in both of their seasons back in the Premier League.

There were a number of impressive performances on show. And one of those who has been lauded by the supporters was Koch.

Once again, the German was dealt a tough hand ahead of the game. Fellow centre-back Liam Cooper was ruled out of the clash after a recurrence of his injury in the warm-up.

That meant that Pascal Struijk was again drafted in late in the day. However, the pair went on to produce a superb display against Wolves.

As shown by Whoscored.com, Koch completed 66 successful passes. Kalvin Phillips was the only player on the pitch to complete more.

Meanwhile, he won three aerial duels and two tackles, and made five interceptions.

Koch looked a class act throughout the contest. And plenty of supporters have insisted that he is improving in every single game.

As noted by Leeds Live, Leeds paid just £13 million to sign the Germany international in the summer. And some fans feel that that fee is proving to be an absolute steal.

Here is how some of the supporters reacted to his performance…
