Consensus is he has a better squad. Consensus is this is a weaker league this season.. Consensus is he is the best manager in the league. Consensus is (according to him) August and September stopped us being promoted last season which wasn't a problem this season (Farke said so, much better prepared ...

The issue he has is not realizing all other teams are scared of us and not pushing that advantage. The comparisons with the much slated Southgate are spot on imo. Safety first football with the handbrake on Farke worries way to much, gives other teams way too much respect, with the most talented ...

Next fixture is a match vs formerly Frank Lampard's/Wayne Rooney's Derby County. The manager now may not have the illustrious playing career of his 2 predecessors, but he is simply a better manager. Paul Warne is a 4 time League 1 promotion winner, 3 with Rotherham and last season with Derby (as ...

Away from home we just look far more ponderous in possession and it could be down to the playing surfaces.

Not sure Greg thought this through

If away from home we were beaten in a thriller we'd all be more receptive of that than the drab goalless efforts that are currently being served up far too often. Farke needs to rethink how we approach the away fixtures but my best guess is that he'll probably just double down on the slow ...

Plus making a change at HT doesn't count as one of your 3 substitution actions that are allowed, so not using that option at least some of the time doesn't make sense. That would play in to the theory his subs are predetermined and unrelated to what is going on on the pitch because most half time ...

Struijk's poor defending which lead to the penalty when should have shown his man the outside was by far the most blameworthy. Just my opinion but once we're behind away from home we struggle so that moment was key. Think it's a fair point. We do have an issue away from home especially same as last ...

Has anyone ever asked Farke why he always waits till the 70th minute?

Even yesterday it was going wrong from the moment they scored and we did naff all.

Still waited till basically minute 70.

Subs seem to be totally unrelated to what is going on on the pitch, predetermined.

Four times now on the road that we've failed to score and Piroe has started every one of them. Some posters seem to think he played well yesterday but we need a striker who leads the line and drags the opposition defence deeper not someone coming 20 yards short to feet all the time. Wouldn't say ...

Blackburn didn't change anything tbf, they had 37% possession vs Cardiff.

They aren't a possession team.

Also if we know all these things how come it keeps working

Bamford coming on before him was quite odd. Paddy before today had played a grand total of 55 Championship minutes. His appearance today was about 28% of his total league minutes all season. Was it a message to Mateo? He's got 1 goal in 12 now, only 3 starts but it's still 4,5 full games worth of ...

"Leave him alone"

aaronson came back because union berlin didn't want him and noone else wanted him out on loan again. would be the same situation with JH this summer - Everton won't sign him permanently that's for certain, they've got no money. JH has never refused to play for us as far as I'm aware, nothing ...

Leeds head coach Daniel Farke speaking to BBC Radio Leeds: “Blackburn had the better start and for that they deserved to win the game. We started too slow and gave too many unnecessary free-kicks and fouls away. The penalty was the same. “Lazy is perhaps too harsh but we should have had a bit more a ...

Never really seen much of Cantwell. But he did look a decent player today. Can see why we had interest in him. Probably only a championship player and not a PL player. Always been talented I guess. But he's a bit big headed and stubborn I think. Fell out with Farke and other managers. But was very ...

Our system heavily relies on the overload on the flanks to pull the opposition defence out of position and create gaps. Bogle and Firpo were rarely in the game and when they were for the most part they did not provide much quality on the ball. We therefore tried to play through the middle more and ...

Farke wants to control games by retaining possession, I think we can all agree on that. However I can't agree that Farke has instructed our attacking players to "play safe and be less direct". If he has, it must be a new instruction for this season as Rutter & Summerville were pretty direct last ...

Are you sure this "too safe and rigid" is all down to Farke and not the mentally of some of the players 🤔 I agree with what you are saying (to a degree) but how can we be sure it is by design? Because its similar complaints to last season and at his previous clubs? I actually think Brenden Aaronson ...
