it was LITERALLY the goal I called 😂 Nunes straight down the right, cut back to Foden 😂😂😂 he really could've had three. Lol

hope you went for Foden. I think my analysis may have been decent 😂😂😂

don't get me wrong - Doku could kill us too 😂 but Bogle and James would be firmer defensively.

most of the space will be down Leeds' left - the same goal they concede every game, Gudmundsson too high and Okafor not helping. So cut backs from Nines & Silva will occur - id imagine Foden will get central chances as a result

enjoy the Gruev or Piroe show then. I'm sure you'll be buzzing with them too 😂

we are now down to Ampadu-Tanaka-Gruev, or Aaronson/Piroe at CAM in place of Gruev. It's not enough. It doesn't matter who is the manager at that point. It's an incredibly difficult position for any coach to be in. It's not that Farke doesn't have faults, because he does. #lufc

Aaronson pretty much has to start centrally now. It's him or Gruev or Piroe. The bigger picture shouldn't be anti-Aaronson sentiment (who is trying his upmost as ever) - it should be criticism of the recruitment team in failing to sign a CAM or attacking minded CM. #lufc have a limited squad, sadly.

booing him and/or Brendan is farcical. What are you booing if you're not booing the person? You're booing because you're frustrated? Come on now. Adults don't do that unless they're immature.

speaking sense. Anyone booing him (or Brendan), making it personal, and/or being disrespectful to people who have worked hard for the club, are out of order. His subs today were too late & a bit odd - but even if you want him out (I'm relaxed about it), you don't attack people who care about Leeds.

"he" loses every second half is just not accurate. The team loses most second halves right now - they're struggling.

even if I felt frustrations about certain aspects of his decisions, I'm not "angry" at the guy. I respect him & his work for the club since he arrived - on the whole, I believe he has done a very good job, and doesn't deserve pelters, disrespect or abuse.

I'd agree that the substitutions are often quite odd - they were quite strange when chasing games in The Championship too. I cannot agree, however, that we have a total "lack of a system" - I just think we are tactically adapting as a squad to a very difficult level. Not easy for any coach or squad.

I'm a Leeds United fan and I'm not angry at him whatsoever. Season ticket holder too. For what it's worth.

if you're blaming Farke for that mate, then we have big, big problems. It shouldn't be down to the manager to decide how long we stay on a particular target before moving onto other targets.

I hope the next manager lined up is a smart appointment - we would have been better going down with Bielsa than employing Gracia/Allardyce last time we hit the panic button. I'm not filled with confidence that the next one will be anything but a firefighter - and it'll likely end in tears.

I take that point but like I said, Bogle at right wing isn't the answer. Nor is Aaronson.

Bogle at right wing is not the answer to our issues. Like I said in my original post, I'm not sure the answers to our problems lie within our current squad - the fact you want him to play two fullbacks on the same side maybe tells you I've got a point?

I'm simply suggesting that the issues we face aren't mainly of Farke'd doing. He has been here for 2.25 seasons, won us promotion, and has us on one point per game at the Prem level - DESPITE serious recruitment issues & multiple injuries to wingers. That's all I'm saying. Overall, good job 👍

so we bought players that don't fit the system that he wants to play? If that's true, which it might well be, the problems lie far deeper than Farke. And, to be clear, I think we would create absolutely nothing in a 3-5-2.

perhaps that's true. So let's say he returns to the 4-2-3-1, with a higher CAM like last season. You playing Piroe or Aaronson there?

I'm happy to criticise Farke but unless you're suggested he sits two deeper 6s maybe, I'm not sure what else he can truly do with this squad. He could play Piroe at 10, perhaps? It's a concern. We are short.

I'm not sure it's a system issue, unless you can enlighten me on your take in more detail? There is no #10 in the squad. Gnonto & James both injured. So 4-3-3 is almost his only choice & he's chosen to play Stach further forward than he's comfortable, largely because he has nobody else.

I'm saying this - I'm concerned about relegation regardless of whether it's Farke or anyone else you can dream up. The squad has serious deficiencies.
