Lack of creativity from our midfield is significant . we rely on Rutter but he loses ball a lot.
Maybe that Amari guy would have got us over the line.
10 Apr 2024 06:59:05
100% agree. Gio has been targeted for weeks now, just as Cree and DJ have gone off the boil. The axis of Gruev and Kammy is too defensive for the circumstances right now as there is no other creative force from the centre to take the pressure off Gio. An extra threat, like Archie alongside him would reduce the focus on Gio, and create space for both. If Sipsvitch win tonight, then we have to go for it with an attacking CMF line up.

The lack oc Lèeds creative midfield is a killer.
Leeds hierarchy were after CAM Amari!
No plan B alternative CAM player recruited!?
Costly mistake.

Very very disappointing performance and result.
Farke has to take a lot of the blame. Trotting out the same eleven more or less every game and the timing of the subs are horrendous.
How Rutter stayed on the whole ninety is baffling. It's time he is replaced by Gnonto or Piroe. At least Piroe is a goal threat.

Not the ref… he don’t take the blame
We win 2-0 tonight providing bamford don’t take the pens.
10 Apr 2024 02:23:03
Berm . one shot on ay home
against a mid table Champo team is tne major issue
Also the" best Champo Manager ever" 😕 needs to perhaps be far more proactive with his subs . not. waiting 83 mins . don't yer think?

It's basic mathematics end of day. You can't roll out same players week in, week out, midweek, many playing international fixtures, some players getting roughed up, some carrying injuries for a whole season. Exhaustion inevitably sets in. Madness. Rotation is required. The balancing part of the equation was Cressy and he'd have brought set piece goals and freshened up other players adjacent to him on the pitch. Our subs haven't quite contributed enough whereas the other 2 clubs subs have especially the 🚜🚜. Farke got his math wrong, if he even calculated at all.
10 Apr 2024 07:03:59
I get what you’re saying George, except Cressy, for reasons already written.
In all honesty, I think we would have seen more, and needed rotation, but for other injuries, niggles, sickness. Roberts not fully fit, nor Gnonto, and Piroe proven to not deliver what’s required to open up games. None of the rest are game changers; with a stronger bench / greater strength in depth, we would probably have seen the rotation (except in central defence) you rightly call for.
Pascal has been a big loss, denying us Amps MF involvement, and a set piece threat.
10 Apr 2024 10:30:10
Brigty . stubbornness of Farke is now still playing Bamford . it will be a major reason for missing out on promotion.
09 Apr 2024 22:02:37
So many corners tonight but the 6 foot 5 powerhouse who could've scored from one of them sat on the bench. Handbrake one trick pony football. Pathetic.
{Ed025's Note - not good George i must admit, very lacklustre performance and a few of them look tired, DF needs to freshen things up mate..

Ed025 Exactly 💯 what I foresaw. My pre-match suggestion not adopted. It probably would have worked. Depressed 😞.
{Ed025's Note - its a point George but you will have to do better than that to keep the pressure on the other 2 mate, not a disaster as it turned out but certainly better is needed thats for sure..
09 Apr 2024 22:22:07
Cresswell ain't starting so probably be an idea to get it out of your head, mate instead of harping on about it. He's not going to start a lad that's played 8 mins in last 40 games is he. Let's be realistic.
09 Apr 2024 22:23:16
3 subs on 82 mins Blanco 🫣
Absolute woeful game management.
09 Apr 2024 23:51:42
True definition of insanity is doing same thing over and over again but expecting different and better results. Lack of squad rotation doubly manifested in late substitutions costing us. That stat of 8 minutes in 40 games may well be accurate but should never have occurred in first place. We are very close to bottom in stats for set piece and corner goals. Irony is you score one of those and game opens up to your advantage. It was there for the taking.
10 Apr 2024 02:26:00
Indeed George. the irony is that one could suggest now that Farke is as stubborn as Bielsa with diminishing returns arising now.
10 Apr 2024 07:07:36
I’ve explained the lack of rotation as I see it up above. No one is going to deny it’s been needed, so in that aspect, we agree I think.
Cressy ain’t going to change the outcome of those games, except to possibly weaken us defensively tho, and diminish the ball playing ability from the back we rely on so much.
09 Apr 2024 22:02:34
Been at work this evening so got my brother to keep me updated. Didn't sound great from his report.
With Ipswich losing on Saturday and now Leicester losing tonight we really are looking gift horses in the mouth at the moment and doing nothing with them!
{Ed025's Note - pretty poor fayre to be honest Cleggy..

That was farken bad . nutter back to his old self, bamford just to slow, james was back to his old self- yes it was a pk but we can't rely on the ref to give us the game . changes needed to be done much earlier

Farke fork up again on team selection, tactics, subs
Players half arsed . dreaming of their next moves when Leeds don't go up
Reminds me of last season.
09 Apr 2024 22:21:11
Poor poor poor, nothing more to say, even your mate Stan James was woeful.
09 Apr 2024 22:25:36
I agree Baz apart from the part about not going up. Still very much in it for autos. Top 3 form has been all over the shop. As frustrating as that was to watch we still have eyes on auto spot because we can still get one.
Last 5 games:
Leicester 5 points
Leeds 8 points
Ipswich 9 points.
09 Apr 2024 22:55:33
Dougie. most of play went down left
. how about team pass it more down right.
09 Apr 2024 23:35:05
This time of the season can be crushing for the players and the fans (and the manager) . None of the top teams are coping well with the situation.
For the first time (in my opinion) the players were playing within themselves, preferring to not to make THE mistake rather than take that risk.
To much dross around the back, but to be fair to the back three, Gray and James offered nothing on the right. When the ball eventually got to them after beating the initial Sunderland press, they just turned back and put back into our home third. Rutter shouldn’t be playing; he was well of it (again) . Up the left was “best’ option, but Sunderland knew that and flooded that side.
The ball over the top to Bamford might as well have gone to my granny and she hasn’t been around since the 70’s.
Farke must have had his reasons for the initial selection (even I was surprised) and for the late substitutions (baffled me completely this time) . I don’t want to be critical because it’s clear the pressure is on and no one is coping well
Another chance squandered …will we get another?
10 Apr 2024 02:28:12
In a word " maybe " . but it will be squandered again as DF is as. stubborn as a mule.
10 Apr 2024 07:09:54
Indeed Baz. I really did not get the fascination on focusing almost solely on the left? Did the team have no trust in Archie and DJ, or what? Now that baffled me!
09 Apr 2024 22:00:31
What I call 👻⚽. Only interested in possession. Farke Out.

Ed’s prediction was correct; the I told you so gang are back in full force!
09 Apr 2024 21:44:44
82 min subs when needed at 55 or 60.
Very poor this.
Ref useless but we are poor.
Good chance here of putting pressure on top 2.

09 Apr 2024 22:26:59
Agree subs needed to be earlier. Nit enough time to make an impact.
Have been disappointed with Farke's team selection last 2 and his in-game management this game.
09 Apr 2024 20:53:31
Embarrassing. Half time.
Are we now boring boring Leeds United?
So much possession and no shots on target.
Farke having an affair with Bambi I presume. No other reason at all he should pick him.
It's almost like spot the difference and Bambi is impersonating a football player which he is not.
Over this crap.
Woke up at 2.55 am to see a few goals and hard to stay awake.

Yep woeful . dull football . one shot on target
A 38 year old Pablo would have shone in this match of dire mediocrity.
