Yes and they could have been coming down with it already v Burnley. Pascal & Ethan looked knackered when they didn't close down first second goal.

I see, think we have been doing that quite a lot. Thing is, that can get predictable too.

If you listen to other managers, it's pretty obvious that he carries a lot more respect than you expect judging by some of the vitriol on social media (less on here).

Yes, i enjoy their programmes and they are pretty rational. Not pretending I know better. I'm happy if the manager is obviously competent and decent bloke who plays reasonably entertaining football. Hence loved Bielsa, like DF and disliked Marsch

Recently Adam was going on about Spence being better a RB than Gray in 2023. True on paper, but there's more to management than stats e.g. disciplinary issues, financial need to develop own players. Mainly straw man arguments against DF, 🍒 picking his comments plus 100% belief in own counterfactual.

I saw Martin (off ASAW) posting something about playing for second balls off DCL. Thing is saw an interview saying he came to Leeds to play a different style from last couple of years at Everton. Don't think a lot of our other players would want that either.

Thing is. No one knows for sure what would have happened with a different set up ( there weren't many options anyway), its all conjecture. As Rix said, a lot of players form dipped in that game, but we could easily have won if we hadn't messed up in the big moments.

We've conceded very few big chances in last 2 games.

Farke is a competent manager (which puts him well above average). Give him the 18th-best squad in the league and he’ll most likely finish 18th. #lufc

After that post, I'm afraid I give up. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday

Using same metrics we created more than most.Do I need a 🔨?Your "kraut" comment elsewhere is pathetic so no surprise you are struggling.

Sorry most not "both" above

Using same metric.......
Are you interested in a sensible discussion ?
Aaronson and Bogle spring to mind as being big chances. Whatever the definitions we created equal or more than both!

Going by Fotmob we had 4 big chances. You're unlikely to get very big chances against
such a defensive set-up. Man C (5) Liverpool (3) Spurs (2) Manchester U (2)
- figures from their previous games using same metrics.

Agree. I think we need to mix up the long throw thing too. Dont think we look v dangerous at them

We had 3 or 4 big chances. They had one.

Yes. He is probably one player who would make a big difference to us right now.

Defo, what a squad is for but imo his mistakes are being exaggerated and he is a victim of scapegoating by some.

Pascal would be an established international if he was Slovenian. Lot tougher to get caps for Netherlands ( or Belgium)

Didn't look better than PS or JR in pre-season. Imo all 3 are of roughly equal value in transfer market. One of them has to miss out in the system.

Pascal probably worth similar to Bijol and is very good on aerial balls. Probably could say the same things about Rodon.

Yes, i still swore at the tv twice after things he did.😊

6 Changing manager might preclude/reduce Jan incoming(s) for fin. reasons & leave us with players + new manager might not want.
7 Our goal threat might develop as new players bed in.

Well listening on radio is slightly better than burying your head in the sand 😊, but still a dodgy basis for worthwhile comment. BA does my head in regularly, but having watched the game I think his performance was effective part of good team performance today. Up to you if u give a 🐒 wot i saw

I think BA is a very limited player, but he played mostly quite well today. Puzzles me why "supporters" are prepared to undermine players even when they didn't see what happened. I assume it makes you feel better, cos can't think of another reason for such behaviour.

Fancy coming on here, having only listened to the game, pretending you know better than the manager and abusing one of the players who did pretty well while he was on the pitch.

Do you always attack straw men, mate?

Yes, but Aaronson was instrumental in us controlling the game by winning lots of challenges. Its very one-eyed of you to pretend DF doesn't know WG is more creative (but not as good defensively) or do you seriously think DF is unaware?

Agree, thought he pllayed very well apart from the usual couple of poor pieces of play in possession when he had space.

Think he tried to turn it into a positive for Piroe post Arsenal match, by saying Piroe was in the best physical condition & had performed well in the friendlies. Better than saying in only cos of being careful with Nmecha re slight muscle issue given inj CV.
