I think he knew what he was letting himself in for. It may take the January window to get the squad sorted and the team playing as he wants. I like him, hope the fans give him time. Suspect they won’t if we’re not top at christmas.
You are the devil-may-care stat man, Aski. Pushing the boundaries of football trivia and living on the edge. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise as you walk on the wild side of performance analysis, fella
You think Farke was told all the rats would jump ship. I think he is just waking up to reality at Leeds.
Farke the Herald Angels Sing by the Leeds United First Team Squad, goes straight to the top of the charts for this year's Christmas number one
I think the word patience as been used a lot recently, unfortunately we have a fanbase that don't have much of it usually but reading around a lot do seem to understand the situation and venting at radz and Orta still. Now let's see if they can put that into practice if we don't set the world alight straight away
I'm quite happy to be patient with Farke. I'm not sure I can be patient with Bamford missing time and again. Or Struijk ****ing up at the back. Or Meslier not stopping shots or just flapping about his area. I've run out of patience for that type of thing.
I thought Struijk was one of the positives yesterday and was good to see him bollock then put an arm around Hjelde when he ****ed up. He did have a poor season but he was moved around a fair bit position wise, plus he seemed to be still haunted by the Klopp (****er) tirade after the Elliot tackle. I'm happy to let him have a go and see how well he does under Farke, was miles ahead of Cresswell on yesterday's performance. Bamford 100% needs shipping out, for his sake aswell as ours.
There’s always looked like a player in struijk, and I agree about the position hopping… but it’s tough to overlook the regular fck ups. I’m out of patience with him personally.
Completely agree. That’s why I can’t stand this rubbish from fans that we’ll walk promotion. It’s totally unrealistic and making Farkes job more difficult
Do you expect them to be here by September 1st cos I don't. They've both been told they can find new clubs so Farke isn't interested in them. We're supposedly in for Kaba who was at Cardiff last season. Tbh I can't see Strujk staying in the championship nor do I see Bamford staying especially as Chelsea and Saudi clubs are looking at him.
I just think we've got more pressing problems to deal with, I'm just hoping he shows what we'd hoped what he looked capable of when he first came into the team, he's not going to be playing against the same quality of player next season, think if he gets his confidence back he's a good squad player at this level.
It's the arrogance of our fans. I don't think they've learnt anything from the last 20 years. They expect the likes of Gnonto to stay because we're better than Everton ignoring the fact we're a division below them. That squad will be torn apart over the next 2 seasons because we've got a squad of Internationals who will want to play in the Euros and the world Cup and it won't happen I'd they're in a top flight league.
What can he do if the club don't recruit? If he picks the players to come in and they fail and we have to play the stiffs again then yeah, he can Farke off too.
