Issue is he rotated for the Stoke game, we were ****e and he never did again. Think those players let him down that day and then it’s tough to keep rotating when you look remember that game. Think Anthony is a good player but not been used, should’ve been on a lot earlier or put in instead of Summerville as he’s been poor for quite a few weeks now. Bielsa turned water into wine. Farke has blown up when the going got tough with a better squad.
For what it’s worth I don’t believe this set of players is better than that which finished our first season Bielsa promotion push, even though we currently have a few tidy players, and finished above my 5th place pre season prediction. The inclusion of Ben White made a significant improvement, imo, on that side, which helped get over the line the following season.
Bamfraud is out of both play off games apparently.... I'm fitter than him @ 71 with 2 heart attacks behind me and a hip replacement....wer's me boots
And the extraordinary thing is if promoted, hell get the lions share of the credit for all the times he pulled entire defences away to open up the goals for Summerville and the rest
Joseph has the pace to play the lone striker role. No doubt Farke will start with Piroe up top who is slower than a snail to be replaced by Joseph on 80 minutes. It obviously doesn’t work - why does he persist?
Don't mock Eire, its already being credited. Also don't ask me what it means, because I don't have a ****ing clue, except that Paddy is ranked 7th best at something. Sam Greenwood is apparently good at "it" too https://football-observatory.com/WeeklyPost463
Yes, I agree that Farke has done a good job. But getting 90 points and finish 3rd mean **** all. Norwich achieved the same result as Leeds with 73 points, namely getting to the playoffs. So, we are no better off than Norwich in 6th. The thing is, when you get to the top of the league and end up outside top 2 it is a failure. There is no other way to look at it. The team collapsed. The question is, can Farke pick up the team and get them to preform in the playoffs? If you look at the last 6 games, we are the weakest team coming into the playoffs. So, Farke has one hell of a job getting these players going again.
So we finished 17 points better off than them, we beat them home and away in the regular season and they lost their last game at home to Birmingham who got relegated so why should we be fretting like a bunch of pussies anymore than them?
Because we are leeds, we don't do things the easy way, and we have a habit of letting teams break their duck against us, I guess we will know which leeds team turns up 10 minutes into the game on Sunday
