Carney, referring to the intense style of Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa, said the break has likely given Whites a chance to recharge and ultimately secure their 16-year return to the Premier League.

« They overtake everyone and give them credit, » she said. “My only worry would be, will they blow up at the end of the season like they did in the last two seasons?

« I actually think they got promoted because of Covid because Covid gave them a little rest.

It was further supported by its owner Andrea Radrizzani, who tweeted: “I take responsibility for the club tweet. I think this comment is completely unnecessary and disrespectful to our club and especially to the fantastic hard work of our players and coaches, who have understood all the statistics on the pitch in the last two championship seasons. ”

I take responsibility for the club tweet. I think this comment is completely unnecessary and disrespectful to our club and especially to the fantastic hard work of our players and coaches, which has been understood by all statistics over the past two championship seasons

But Carney, who spoke about vicious social media setbacks that come with a female soccer expert, was part of a Twitter pile-on from Leeds fans.

However, many former gamers and media personalities said the tweet, which was viewed over 2 million times in a 12 hour period, was tasteless.

BBC journalist and senior football commentator Jacqui Oatley tweeted that sharing the video through the official Leeds account only invited and encouraged fans to abuse the former England international.

Jesus. The person who tweets on behalf of the big club @LUFC doesn’t have to choose their exact wording on a freezing night on live TV, nor may they have been at the end of a Twitter pile and experienced the consequences of abuse in large scale.

BBC reporter Emma Sanders wrote: « This is not cool. Shouldn’t be an expert with a snapshot of his analysis. Kaz is one of the best and always supports their reasoning. This will only result in unjustified abuse on a platform that is already too toxic. ”

That’s not cool. Shouldn’t be experts with a snapshot of their analysis. Kaz is one of the best and always supports their reasoning. This will only result in unjustified abuse on a platform that is already too toxic. https: // t. co / 77KODcLLNA

Targeting a journalist or expert like this is an extremely bad form. Overcome yourself and erase. https: // t. co / yItuEw44CM

While the reporter at The Athletic, Amitai Winehouse, claimed that many male experts had the same thing but did not receive the same treatment.

Whether it’s a good point or not, about 100 different male experts have said 100 different things about Leeds United and none of them have been called for it. That doesn’t look good guys https: // t. co / 5CQuA5YYxo

People pointed out the tweets about Agbonlahor. The platform that Leeds has means that there will be abuse, but the difference is that the abuse against Karen Carney is exacerbated because she is female.

Arm from the @ LUFC social team. . . . trying to embarrass a hard working expert who is now being heinously abused by #LUFC fans! Shame https: // t. co / Qqizhc97rN
