    I complain about our wingers not crossing and then running into trouble, but last night I looked to see where Rutter was when our wingers have the ball and he’s nowhere near the area a No9 should be, he’s anywhere but waiting for a cross, so the winger hasn’t got many options. Put Piroe at 9 and Rutter at 10 ffs FARKE. Too stubborn to change tactics even when everyone can see what’s wrong, at least show Rutter where to go as a 9 ffs

    Excellent old firm derby. Three quality goals and a lesson in how to score from distance. No nonsense of trying to walk the ball in

    Celtic 2-1. Rangers reduced to ten men with 15 minutes left and still managed to pull back a goal

    Before too long there will need to be a serious debate about how good is FARKE really.

    We are supposed to have the best forward line in the league. We are supposed to have either the best or the second best squad in the league.

    His tactics are now being questioned, his use of subs questioned, his reading of the game questioned and how to counter what the opposition do is in question.

    The 3 favourite teams for promotion are the 3 relegated from the Premier League last season. After a fairly rocky start to the campaign which was easily explainable, we started playing some great football and picked up some great results and scored a lot of goals. Our defence has been fairly solid even though FARKE is square pegging. The players FARKE has brought in have all been good and all contributed. However the wheels have come off and many are now blaming the players but as every coach knows exactly how to spoil our game plan unless they decide to attack us. These coaches who have small lesser known squads and have no budget are now laughing at FARKE. Surely a coach with Farkes CV should be able to sort this out. It would then stop questions being raised on team selection, tactics and stubborness being raised.

    I believe FARKE needs to get this sorted as the fans are asking questions and some are not impressed.

    So. If I’ve read this right. Farke has questions to answer because the fans believe we have the best forward line in the division and the best squad? Who decided that? Maybe, just maybe, the fans overrate our players and he is getting the most out of them? Let’s stay positive, all these teams have to come to ER for the run in.

    Anyone calling for Farke's head need to stop being so entitled and realise that this is a bloody tough league to get out of. Plus last time I checked there was still a 3rd promotion place available to one of the teams that finishes in the play offs. However when you listen to some of our supporters we may as well not even bother turning up for them should we qualify.

    Bottom line is judge everything once the season is over.

    You can now look at headline writers starting in already, so not just me


    49ers Enterprises may sack Daniel Farke as Steve Cooper already identified as next Leeds United boss

    Is this from Dan Carter MOT News, if so he was sharing a personal opinion, the link to Cooper because he was identified and Farke was unanimously voted the better option

    Why didn't we appoint Nuno in the summer if he's deemed better than Steve Cooper ?

    What about Eddie Howe who might get the sack by the end of January.

    Then there's Potter sitting at home collecting his massive Chelsea pay cheque.

    The reason Farke is our man and will stay our man is none of the above would touch Leeds with a barge pole until we're an established PL team and even then it's doubtful.

    Correct. Howe turned down the Celtic gig which would have guaranteed him European football so not a chance in hell he’d step down to the championship

    Which is why we need to give Farke time to actually build a team.

    Beggars belief what some fans wish for.
