I've been watching loads of reviews of the game and the thread running through them is how much better we were in the 2nd half. They said that DCL seemed much better in a 2 and the defence looked more comfortable. I have said before that I think it's a no brainer with the players we have. I just hope that it was Farke's plan and we'll see it more. I also heard complaints that their keeper went down to give Pep a team talk.
So Farke learned about when to do substitutions from last week. Pep is a cheating Spanish twat who has been found out in my eyes. Plus Botox lips upfront for Citeh is overrated, Rondon and Struijk had him in there pocket. If the team can do that the second half then give Farke a chance with the next two matches
Got to post 87 and have basically picked myself off the floor, not reading any more of this thread, gonna watch the rest on MOTD, briiiiiiing it on.
Well, I woke up and saw the score. The watched the highlights.. different team 2nd half.. DF has survived another game then?! Chelsea next.. let’s Hope he sets them up like 2nd half then and give them a game.
I predicted 7-0 so I ought to be pleased…….. problem is, we ended up with the same points I predicted.
Sometimes i would rather we played crap and got lucky and stole a point or three, rather than play well and come away with nothing as yesterday, worryingly their is a bit of a gap beginning to appear separating the bottom five from Fulham in 15th, even more worryingly as i said before, Forest & West ham no longer look like relegation candidates, but we shall see. Watching the Sunderland game on MOTD, i could not believe they came away with all three points, yes they worked hard, but they also had the of run of the ball/luck which we need, but never seem to get.
I was at non league yesterday watching wakefield beat the top side at home. Plenty of leeds fans calling out the score and when we pulled it back to two all i thought a point was ours but we conceded late and leeds got nothing..
The best we have played all season was in that second half. DF bought defenders and for a changed used them properly. We looked solid and made it really hard for some very very good players. Struijk had Haaland in his pocket and Bijol and Rodon looked solid and blocked everything. 2 up top worked and were causing problems in their back line. Gruev and Tanaka both looked like prem quality. Leeds won the second half 1-2 but will DF revert to his stubborn type and get smashed by Chelsea.
Afternoon all A couple of weeks ago, fans were screaming for a change having conceded a few goals and wondering why so much £s worth were sitting on the bench, DF changed it Last week it was getting comical with the premeditated 70th minute subs, this week Farke made early changes. I’m not convinced he is not bowing to fans opinion and pressure. Here is where I am at. I don’t believe there is a better coach willing to take the challenge, better coaches yes, taking on the challenge no. I’d be tempted to extend DFs contract by 12 months, a statement to silence everyone and quash sack rumours, as a club that distraction needs sorting. I’d tell the media and Farke if we go down, he is the man to bring us back up, just like McKenna at Ipswich. If we stay up, review it, if we go down, allow Farke to get us promoted again. If he succeeds then definitely replace him before a new season kicks off
Thought we gave it a real go 2nd half after a training session 1st half. Great goal from Foden to win it but we just dont carry that luck. Looked like 6 or 7 first half then we changed it around and caused problems. Just dont know where to put us right now. the worrying thing is we are in many games but taking nowt from them. Gaps are forming now in the league and we have to put back to back wins together somewhere but I just dont see where in the near future . Wolves, Burnley and us are the only ones now not picking up we really need the scousers to clout them hammers today.
For me he’s a dead man walking and hearing him yesterday you would have thought he had made no changes to his system. Bet he reverts to type against Chelsea. Get the best available manager now and tell him he will be still here next season whatever and back him in January.
