Good post class. Make no mistake. I’m
Not for sacking Willy nilly. But he has had time. He is not good enough to get a squad oozing talent up
Ok. We would all have liked Hams and a striker but this is good enough. Just need a better manager.

So reduculas, any leeds fan calling for farkes head has no clue about football
He is proven at this level, last year he had a summer of madness players leaving on lone and those staying not wanting to be here and he still got us 90 points any other season we go up
This year we lost our best players and had to cover a black hole left by rads and beilsa. Look at facts Belisa spent 45 million the year we went up farke has made around 90-95 million how can anyone compare and be calling for his head?
We’ve lost one game, one game after two summers of madness and a team being pulled apart. And he still has us in the hunt
Hang your heads in shame, honestly not sure if I’m lost by these comments or disgusted.

There's a lot of Leeds fans that don't particularly rate and have increasingly lost confidence in DF to get Leeds United promoted.
Even more pertinent I do wonder if Farke still crucially has the players confidence.
players such as Ampadu and Rodon who appear flustered, erratic, far less assured and lacking in confidence at times this season.
If Farke is indeed losing players confidence that is a serious problem for LUFC and its hierarchy who wwre in attendance on Saturday
and they are likely still concerned by the meltdown final 12 games of last season under DF.

4 wins in 14 Berma . it ain't pretty.
15 Sep 2024 11:52:43
Berm, I have to agree with you, and this goes back to an earlier post around the negativity of some posts that are put up. Listen I don't pretend to say I haven't had some input into some of these, but my glass is half full and I am forever the optimist. Yesterday we played them off the park, the supposedly next team to get automatic promotion, and if it wasn't for a slip and a piece of poor defending from Bogulwe would have had a draw.
Like you say 90 points would normally get you promotion, but it didn't. Farke has had 2 seasons where he has started with one hand behind his back, for me he is doing a good job, it's the players missing the chances that they shouldn't. How is that his fault! Ridiculous to think of getting rid of him at this point.

Good write-up Class.
15 Sep 2024 12:06:04
Just 3 shots on target
no goals scored ( 2nd blank in 5 league games )
No points
Them be the key stats Dougie
" played off park " . ie loads of unthreatening possession is NOT getting top 2 .
Leeds were a more dangerous goalscoring team last season but even then under DF failed twice to get promoted.

Farke fluffed the end of last season by not changing tactics. Teams had sussed us out and he wasn't willing to change.
He's done the same at the start of this season, even with a new team, it's the same tactics.
We come back from the international break and lose 0-1 at home to a side that played poorly.
Farke chose the wrong subs at the wrong time and didn't change his tactics.
If we want promotion this year, we cannot risk dragging our heels like we did with Marsch, leaving us to choose crap managers and sacrificing a season.
A new manager may need a few games to bed in. Get them in now before the October break, otherwise hopes of promotion may be impossible.
What farke did at Norwich, with different players at a different club means nothing when what he has done at this club - the only true measure of his ability worth a damn, is missing out on promotion. He's now using those failed tactics again and again.
How many times must a striker miss the goal before fans are calling them crap?
He's not the right man for the job.
Time to part ways.

Good post MOTagain.
15 Sep 2024 13:24:27
Did you actually read my post Berm?
Especially the bits.
‘I'm certainly not advocating sacking Daniel Farke’?
I acknowledge his record in this league?
Hope he proves me wrong?
Of course I know nothing about football, it’s a helpful and sometimes necessary trait for being a lifelong Leeds fan.
My post said in my personal opinion, I find Farke, well a bit dull much nearer the Allardyce end of the spectrum than my personal fave Bielsa (Yes you’ve told me before about your view of Marcelo but we just have to agree to disagree)
But they’re just differing opinions it’s a very sad state of affairs if we cannot respect different views and perspectives.
I truly don’t get your high praise of Messellier nor your obvious loathing of Kalvin Phillips or Bielsa.
But that’s your opinion, it doesn’t mean either of us are right or wrong it just means we differ on those points of view.
I’ve gone to print to say I’ve bet on us to go up as champions I do every season though, but welcome your thoughts on why we cannot unlock teams that sit in, why we’re playing such a lot of possession based football without going anywhere and why our Manager took BA off when his passes broke the Burnley lines more than any other player?
Farke has a very good record (again) but I find him uninspiring and to me he’s slow to adapt to the games mostly reactive not proactive.
I may be clueless on all matters football but I know enough to hold my own opinions based on our side and manager, never towards a fellow poster.
15 Sep 2024 13:32:35
Look at I get some criticism of course I do but things ain’t as bad as many say and we need some perspective.
Why do fans of one city clubs suffer from dellision of gandure and have an over inflated opinion of team?
Leeds are not that good, we are not in a great place. We threw a lot of money at Belisa and failed awfully then got relegated.
We have no money, ffp is killing us. We have had a summer of instability followed by a summer of losing 120 million pounds worth of talent. We lost more talent in money terms than the rest of the leauge put together and some expect promotion.
Farke is doing a good job with a bad hand, the squad are doing ok considering they ain’t great
What annoys me most is lots are romantacising about the idiot Belisa who is largely to blame for this.
Give farke Belisa hand and he’d play it better.
15 Sep 2024 14:12:34
Hmm a very well reasoned follow up post by Class.
15 Sep 2024 14:25:10
Wrong berm.
Squad team is good.
Manager well iffy.
Owners clueless and tight.
Simple.
Which one of those three can be fixed or changed today? Cause one or something needs to.
Opinions out the window.
Anybody on this site reckon our players not good enough for promotion?
Then 8 out of 15 not good enough is it?
And why would players good enough to win the league lose 1 and draw 2 of first 5? And the 1 at home for Christ sake.
15 Sep 2024 14:38:03
Bermo,
Farke failed to get us promoted with that 120 million quids worth of talent and you're saying that he will fail again because he doesn't have that talent, which failed to get us promoted.
If Farke failed with the talent, and you say he is doing the best with a bad hand, meaning we won't get promoted, then surely it's better to gamble with a manager who might get us promoted?
If failure is the only outcome with farke, with the team we have, then why continue with him as manager?
Ipswich did better with a lesser-talented team.
15 Sep 2024 14:59:38
SUPERB awesome 100% logical post by MOTagain. best post of the month
Good post by Aus too.
15 Sep 2024 15:00:16
Berma your posts contradict as ever.
15 Sep 2024 16:10:20
MoT, what does it mean when you say Farke will not get us promoted but another manager/ coach "Might” get us promoted!, is that not the same? where’s the guarantee that another manager will get us back to the Premiership.?
It’s just a gamble is it not?
Farke missed promotion by a whisker last season, he’s got a very good chance in succeeding this time.
A different manager now would be an insane decision were it to be made. Just because we have lost one game how on earth can that mean a disaster for this season?
I’d love someone to explain to me the logic in that if they can?
Dont forget this is a new season with new players and we have Won 2 Drawn 2 and Lost 1 only 4 points behind top spot.
15 Sep 2024 16:40:23
Opti,
I was pointing out Bermos conflicts in his reasoning. He says farke has a bad hand this season so can't get us promoted, despite failing last season with a better team.
I agree with you that it's best gamble and find a new manager. If Farke couldn't do it last season, and we all saw why it happened, then the chances of him doing it this season are slim to none. His subs; their timing, choice and usage, are almost 1-1 with how Marsch used to handle them, that is to say, poorly.
We haven't lost one game and it's frustrating to see this because brought up, game after game. I understand that fans can be very quick to call for the head of a manager during a bad run of form, but this isn't that. Farke has objectively made the wrong calls for the 80% of the last matches we have lost. His win/ loss ratio doesn't reset in a new season, and if it did, it would be pretty poor regardless.
We didn't just lose a game. We lost poorly to a good side that that played somehow worse than us, at ER. We scraped a draw with Portsmouth thanks to arranson. We eeked a win to Sheffield weds, drew a boring, goalless match, got spanked Vs Middlesbrough in the cup.
Farke has a better side now, than most teams who see promotion have. Yet, they're not being utilised.
What is insane, is keeping with the same manager on the hope that a miracle will happen and he will somehow change character overnight. Swapping managers now is a risk, but not doing so is a guarantee in forfeiting promotion.
Ask yourselves this. If we had the best striker in the league, would he be scoring goals left, right and centre, considering the tactics and style of play? Are the reasons we failed to get a striker because we couldn't pay or because they wouldn't come?
15 Sep 2024 16:49:07
Superb MOTagain. top posts.
15 Sep 2024 21:35:53
Mot again read my posts
Last season we had a summer of carnage loams players like gnoto and sini going on strike this year we lost the talent they are different reasons but both valid
Last year was an abnomilie and any other year we go up despite summer carnage
Class I like your posts and even when we differ slightly I respect your knowledge and how you put it out. My response was not personal or directed at you just the general farke out posts. Sorry if it came across as that mate.
16 Sep 2024 09:41:23
Not a problem Berm, I mean I’ve even given positive reviews to your movies and lead role acting before.!
Football is a game of differing opinions and win lose or draw evokes different but often passionate responses, I believe to get the most return out of the experience of supporting your team you have to feel passionate and excited about your team including its coach and the style of play and with Farkey, it’s just meh underwhelming for me.
But until there’s a better alternative I’ll continue to cheer the boys on, in the hope he proves me very wrong and it’s exciting watching us play again.
