I'm still not convinced with farke at start of 2nd half he should've put subs on , he took leeds back to old formation and put subs on at 65 mins was too late as we were 0-2 down by then , the players came out and did not concentrate this to me Is a blame on manager as he should've stressed to them what to do and not to do , we would've had sharper defenders on with subs at half time , I don't think farke Energies players at half time and they come out sluggish and lose concentration. What's your thoughts on this ? And what to do about it ? I hope we don't think the season is over after playing man city , Chelsea and Liverpool all in 7 days , to me brentford will be more dangerous than playing Liverpool , it the managers job to get the players motivated for brentford and NOT to think the seasons over now we played those 3 teams !
1. Gnonto won the penalty that got us back in the game. 2. Aaronson provided the assist for the Stach equaliser. 3. Tanaka scored the 3rd goal to equalise for the second time. I’d say that’s a reasonable return from his substitutes
Methinks you should come home and do the motivational half time rallying call...I expected zilch from the 3 games so I think a bit of praise for herr farke isn't going over the top and is warranted, all the games in the prem I'd class as very hard,hard and err very hard ...have an early sniff for Christmas sniffer
To be fair, our players do seem to go to sleep right for the first mins of the second half (I'm sure Aski can tell us about this - where is he, btw, is he OK?), but there was nothing totally wrong with the formation for the first half, he just needed to bring on players who could play his revised formation. We've all moaned about DF being one dimensional to date and now he's changing things around...but we're still moaning!
I'm good thanks Brizzle, not at home at the moment so will check the stats and post them for you later tonight.
Against man city the game was going the same way it has almost all season until farke did what the fans have been telling him to do all season , we would've been in the top half of the league if he had done it from the start but he is stubborn to change and we seen the results upto man city also I don't like his bringing on subs at 65 mins all the time , we showed what can be done at man city if you bring subs on earlier
And what would they have done if bringing them on at half time we could've won the game and not gone 0-2 down in the first place
Your right in most of what you say ,my gripe is with farke putting subs on at 65 mins or even later , by this time we have already lost the game or got an uphill task as in man city 2-0 down and liverpool 0-2 down , farke for me recognises too late , in the Chelsea match he did the formation as the fans had told him to do
Exactly as I was saying briz. The players were playing ok in 1st half apart from abit of enthusiasm and inspiration from farke that they needed at half time he should've put subs on then the sloppy back pass would not have happened. Also I don't think our players are fit enough for premier league , farke should be getting them fitter as bielsa did we were the fittest in premier league before under bielsa the only thing I was unhappy with bielsa he went too far , but definatly our players need to get fitter , its 100 mph in premier league for 95 mins get used to it leeds players or goals will be scored against us.
Zzzzzzz ohhhhh were 0-2 down some dumb f.cker is not training us hard enough nor getting us fit enough ohhh yes that's why we are 0-2 down , get them fit farke or get the sack , we almost lost the liverpool match because of the reasons stated. We still need 3 wins on the trot to stabilize our position in the league.
I bet aski is in Thailand , keeping a seal on it aski ? Ha ha call in irovers bar , Pattaya and say hello LOL
Probably have done nothing as Rodon who misplaced the pass wouldn’t have been one of the players substituted. Aski could probably help but I get the feeling that half time substitutes are not often made by many managers on a regular basis.
They have compared well in distance covered etc, but are seeming to run out of steam quicker than under Bielsa. Rodon cocked up for their first goal and he wouldn't have been subbed. I expect Ampadu had words after that.
For me we should have made the changes at half time and I did get angry when we were two down through mistakes very quickly in the second half. Farke with his triple sub rectified it so have to give him credit for it. We had reverted to type though and we were struggling. Maybe it was to give Liverpool confidence they'd beat us then hit them full on.
