#LUFC #LeedsUnited #PremierLeague #EPL - Sport
the urgency for the win puts so much pressure in the clubs..we did see it in arsenal,leeds,liverpool and rangers...thank you
Goal scoring centre mids? I'd be happy with one that can pass forward :P
Or a goal scoring 9
They clearly have been told to be safe and not pass forward
Wish I had your guys confidence on writing off Southampton. Their squad is mint, they're in great form, they have 2 games in hand, Stoke/Cardiff both dross to come, Preston at home, and then us and Leicester. It's a reasonably big ask but win 4 of those and they're well in with a shout.
There’s still only one Stuart Dallas ❤❤
We'll go up keep the faith
We are Leeds fans…we don’t have faith in
Whatever happens we have found a great manager and it's been a record-breaking season and I'm so proud of the boys!
A good manager, who is cool, likeable and has got the team performing well for most of this season. A great manager will figure out a way to get us firing again and get the job done.. hope Farke proves to be one
He's an okay manager. Can't argue with the points total (with our squad is it really that surprising?), but you can absolutely argue with his tactics and game management. Plan A = hope your £100m+ strike force produces a moment of magic. Plan B = throw on a further £30-40m of attacking players and hope they do what the first 4 couldn't.
Don't want him next season whether we're up or down tbh.
We have a squad with best attackers by a country mile, Farke is living on their tail coats, he is tactically inflexible and poor at game management. He threw the last game away at the end.
The problem is there are more players in the club that don’t want to play for this geezer than those that do we have to be ruthless and persue excellence and get him out at the end of the season he’s a career killer.
Phil is spot on.
He usually is.
This is the MOST Leeds season there has ever been!
People don’t want to hear this but what I’ve seen of Joseph makes me believe he is that #9 we need right now and it’s nothing against Bamford or Piroe the young lad just looks better equipped for this team right now. Can anyone speak to this manager or not?
Put Gnonto up front James Summerville on wings
Gnonto isn’t a striker mate come on 😂
Five points dropped,in successive home games, is devastating,we also get a week to marinate in our own sense of failure. Hope Farke can stick it to the doubters, myself included. We need a bit of Bielsa bravery, create our own luck, and others to fail. LLL.
Farke got the subs wrong, anyone can see that, Gnonto our most potent attacker taken off & Gruev who was breaking up all their forward play also ? if Gruev was on they don't score that goal but Farke rolled the dice to win the game by putting strikers on and it backfired badly, a point would have been better than nothing !.
50:50 chance that we get promoted sounds right.
Top 3 are not very far ahead of Southampton. And the other sides that make the playoffs will all be capable of a surprise.
Is Joffy worth playing at some point?
No
We have a good manager and some good players and great fans, but some of those players need to grow a pair . We don't want 600 passes, we need goals
That’s whatFarke wants why do you think they play like that? You don’t understand anything about tactics.
Time for us to put big pressure on top 2.2 must win games and we up so up to them if they want it or not but last 4 games performance wise not confident at all but this stage of season not bout performances it’s bout grinding out wins and we made it difficult for them selfs they got in this rut now time to get out there and do the business MOT
It took Bielsa 2 tries to get us there...
33% chance of auto and 25% chance of playoff cause it feels so random at this point. Just marginally more likely to go up than not.
We have been here before. Last years religation run in was the same. Everybody was slipping up and we thought we could capitalize on their slip ups. But we couldn't..
It's been happening since 1919!
That’s it I think, have had many opportunities now to pull away and seal the deal, but we keep choking, I’m not one who believes in the play offs,even when we had the great man, that didn’t work out well either!! Let’s hope we don’t get stuck in the championship for a long period of time? Cos we ain’t gonna have this same team next season 😢
IMO the problem is 1, there are too many games in the Championship also 2, the International games should be scapped this late in the season just look how many of our International players came back injured. If it wasn't for the International break we may have kept on our winning way. Does anybody think the same?
When Bamford missed that sitter the whole team just fell over and have been rubbish since. That's where the confidence went.
Fibre optic?
If we do not get auto promotion I fear Farkes lack of tactical talent in the play offs
Southampton finishing top 2. The only team with any form. Chances of us wining at Boro are close to zero.
How many Leeds managers will lose their job by persisting with Bamford. Utterly amazing!
Obviously Bamford is very good in training.
Nothing much has changed but too many players' form has dipped at just the wrong moment.
Gnonto was the best player for Leeds but he was poor, so how bad were the rest. He lost pocession on a few occasions, which put us in trouble and more often than not, selects the wrong pass when there are options
Because of lack of subbing throughout the season
Why's everyone forgetting Southampton?
Southampton are well in the mix and they need to beat Southampton to stay in it which is good for us
Will we go up? It's 50-50 - a coin toss, yes or no.
I saw it coming after 30 mins so I stopped watching and went into town and did some shopping leaving nothing damaged or broken at home-😇
Prayer mats out. Please not the play offs.
Please let's stop harking on about the occasions we have not quite made it to the line and attributing it to psychological factors. First because it is at best a half truth (and no truer probably for us than other comparable clubs). But second because it deflects attention away from what if anything needs to be done in order to make our tactical plan work more effectively. In my opinion (based on past evidence) Geldhardt is our most likely player to drive a way through a packed penalty area. It is a special skill and I believe he has it. Also he needs little incentive to get a shot off - with Gnonto and possibly Summerville he is the hardest and cleanest striker of a ball in our squad. Get this aspect of our game right and there won't be a need to wander off into half baked Plan B's as we seemed to on.Saturday. Bielsa was right on this issue: just do what we have been doing better !
Leeds lacking a good goal scoring midfielder and leader like Billy Bremner.
Premiership is a shark pool. I'm happy to see Leeds stay in the Championship and enjoy another season of winning most games. MOT.
What's the point in winning with your ethos 😂
Hahaha! Brilliant logic. . .
We will not last in the prem with out a big influx of players
@@GaryWaltonthebigwobbleorg So what's your take, genius?
@@Eebarreckythump The point is you'll spend all next season losing in the Premiership. Not hard to grasp is it?
This is on Farke. One dimensional coach. Give it to the best player and hope he creates. He’s a zero risk coach and in a promotion chase that’s not required. The last 2 games have been crying out for Joseph’s physicality up front. Also why doesn’t Summerville ever get asked to switch wings just to mix it up?
Very well said especially about Joseph.
Agree. Farke out.
Southampton will finish top
Farke done brilliantly..Now they question him after a couple of dodgy results. Pathetic
How has he done brilliantly, best squad in division going forward but cannot work out how to break down teams who park the bus and keeps picking crap like Bamford.
Farke has to go in summer what ever happens, had no tactical awareness in game as proven at Norwich, against a higher calibre manager and player in prem he is out of his depth, have to be ruthless like Bournemouth if we want success
