The team is shot and so am I to be honest, it’s been an exhausting and intense season from the off, all the behind the scenes stuff with players wanting to leave and then the pressure to win just about every game since October. Hopefully they can regroup over this week and rediscover some defensive...

I agree I don't think we have much chance of turning It around. We've collapsed, the players look beaten and Farke himself doesn't exactly look like a man who knows how to fix it. I said months ago whoever missed out from us, Ipswich and Leicester wouldn't win the playoffs, I stand by that unfortun...

The interesting thing is imo Farke is right in the sense that you need possession and can't look forward all the time. That was a flaw in the original style that even Red Bull clubs have abandoned. 6,7 years ago when Leipzig came up to the Bundesliga playing this way and Rangnick himself was in cha...

Yeah I can se him being a poor centreback somewhere instead of a god awful rightback. He will end up going back to something like the Austrain league where he will look decent to those that are stat obsessed.

Any one notice how none of our players ran over to celebrate Piroe's goal, only a high-five with Gnonto was visable to me. I made the point to an MOT regular earlier today about this, but more specifically how Summerville basically blanked him as he ran off to celebrate. Our loss of form came immed...

It all depends on your definition of playing well Winning is different to playing well. Warning signs galore towards the end of that impressive run which I would say have lasted around 2 months now. I consider that timescale very worrying and perhaps the bottom line is we overperformed and what we ...

They say history is written by the victors, but it is a funny old world when two people can look at the clubs history with managers and write completely different histories... a history that supports their own particular narrative. One uses knives for stabbing the other bandages for healing. I thin...

What would your explanation be for the last 6 weeks or so?

Oh so you simply want to ignore how well they played from Septemeber onwards, the fact that we were the best team from October onwards and just judge them on the last few weeks?

I'm glad you bought this up. Pressure, think Warnock mentioned it, possibly Allardyce as well. Phil mentioned it in his articles and possibly even his book. The pressure of managing LUFC is unlike practically any other club. It's been hard enough for promotion specialists like Warnock, even Javi Gr...

Sorry Weasel but for some reason you've attached yourself to this manager and are just happy to make excuses for him which you'd have never done for anyone else bar Bielsa. Why does his difficult summer now extend till the end of September? That's a new one, most people had happily accepted August ...

Despite our awful last few matches we have picked up more points than both Ipswich and Leicester since the end of October. Our results were pretty damn incredible for a long time yet many seem to think they are justified in slagging off all our players. Go farke yerselves!

Farke was literally going to play him on the right as he thought he could be his Buendia clone. Did all the way until September. Only shifted him because Sinisterra left and he refused to play Gnonto for more than 5 minutes. Oh hang the manager for planning one thing and changing it when one player...

Shows how fans sometimes don't actual notice changes in tactics yet bleat on about changing tactics.

Everyone commenting on that photo you do realise it was a few seconds after a corner kick had been sent in so we weren't in a position where players were in their usual places on the pitch? The ball got half cleared then played back in. Yes we should have picked the guys up but it wasn't like it was...

This song was performed by the Leeds fans who want to see Marsch return.

Yet all our tactical genii on here seem to think we only play one way, cry out to play a different way, plan b etc. Trying a different way to try to combat an opposition is usually foolhardy especially when you hav a team that is well drilled in a certain way of playing.

Cool yeah I agree, let's take our left winger who has scored 20 goals there and put him on the right wing. I bow down to the tactical acumen.

For me it’s got nothing to do with pre and early season predictions, todays disappointment is based upon our catastrophic decline over the past handful of games. Maybe we flattered to deceive, but who, in March, foresaw this dramatic drop off in performance, and the lack of a cohesive plan to remed...

Everyone talks about what Bielsa did and rightly so but I think the bar just got raised somewhat. Yes they may get walloped next year and you never know we could be one of the wallopers It will be interesting to see how he does next season as it is hard to judge him fully yet. He has done a superb ...

He was one of very very few to turn up today. Taken a ton of stick, some fair some not. But he did it all today. Created the most chances on the pitch. Scored our only goal. Used the ball intelligently and linked play and held up the ball. Not to mention won most of his individual battles and even ...
