Yep. I forgot to have a tea from my lucky cup. Rookie mistake.

Are we talking EPL here or his whole tenure? What in recent weeks performances are you alluding to considering the opposition?

Just said exactly that in another reply. Redacting it all to "Farke is shit" or Farke got it wrong again" is so disingenuous and creates this false narrative.

... in the outcome and the way the game was played. To redact all that to 'Farke got it wrong' is just myopic and adds to this constant negativity around a manager who deserves a bit more respect IMO.

Yes Farke would probably approach that game differently in hindsight, and no doubt any manager takes a share of the blame when a team loses, but also the players didn't take their chances. They got sucked into Sunderland's negative tactics. The ref was shit. VAR cost us a penalty. All factors...

The game was slow and scrappy with no rhythm because that's what Sunderland made it and the ref allowed it - not because our players were tired or didn't have a gameplan. We locked them out while creating 18 shots. One marginal disallowed goal. One nailedon pen. >1 xG.

Exactly that. Totally agree

We were the dominant team in a scrappy game but struggling to really create good chances. He changed it on 62 mins. Picking at minuscule hairs here.

That's a bit of a disingenuous conclusion right? He did change it a bit when he brought on Nmecha, with Aaronson dropping into a 10 role behind DCL and Nmecha

It makes me sad seeing Tanaka warming the bench in games like last night.

True. Been slightly off it these two games.

Interesting - I think Sunderland we very high marking when we were building up yesterday (if not man to man in phases) so he was struggling to get in the game. Man City he was being bypassed a bit too.

Wish I could tell you. It’s so blatant.

You’ll still be angry when you see it. Just different reasons 🤣

Forest, Sunderland and Man City all came to Elland Road recently and their game plan heavily involved shithousing, time wasting and dark arts. Annoying as that is I feel like it’s a sign of respect. #lufc

Look again at the video and see the second time it touches his arm when he clearly moves his arm to the ball to change its direction. It’s a blatant pen. As was the one we didn’t get.

100% was

We are just gonna disagree on this. Leeds dominated the game even though it was scrappy. We had 18 shots. >1 xG, 70% possession. They had nothing. We had chances to score but quality and luck just wasn’t quite there. Also getting that clear pen early in the game is a huge pivoting moment.

100%. A championship team knowing how to play at elland road and turn the energy around

We should have been braver on the ball and got it forward quicker after bringing on Nmecha IMO

Some people like to overreact I see.

It’s like they have never seen us lose to some classic shithousing and bad refereeing before #lufc

It’s not like we were out tacticed by Sunderland. It s been a 55/45 game in Leeds favour. We didn’t get a bonafide pen decision. They did. Sunderland made it scrappy as hell and shithoused from the offset. Frustrating not to have better quality in the final third

Yep. Need a CB or a midfielder to drive or make some central passes. Then the space will come out wide.

Bravo

They are the kind of games you lose but you come together as a team and vow to beat them next time you play.

Leeds as a squad clearly believe they belong and can compete with the best. #lufc

Hard agree. On the same note how we didn’t get a penalty when Martinez threw Ampadu to the floor baffles me.

He completely changed the formation and made a sub at half time

The sadness is because it’s young kids. Such a shame to see them being mislead.

Thought the same last night. Would love to finish above Sunderland. Nothing particularly against them, just as an objective.
