I see Stach is getting a lot of flack from some and notably from some gobsh782 YouTubers.
If I’m not wrong wasn’t Anton Stach a number 6 at his previous club yet the arrogant 1 plays him as more of an 8 despite the fact Ampadu has been poor the last few games as well.
Gaby is getting his “ flowers” yet some want to gloss over his mistakes in recent games costing us goals and points, 3 in the last 4 games I believe.
Is he Firpo in disguise? (Jokes)
The point is if the arrogant 1 played people in the positions where they caught our attention or was even willing to adapt to a formation that suits his playing staff then this mess might not be happening. Yes it was a mess on Saturday, we barely laid a glove on Burnley.
Farke loves his bullshot stats yet looks past the stats that show Bijol was one of the top defenders across Europe last season instead he sticks with Struijk who turns and closes down slower than the titanic.
He has to adapt and quickly or just get rid now before it’s too late, Novembers and December look awful fixtures wise and I like many fear january will be on us too late.
And don’t forget he was heavily involved in the recruitment.

I guess you are under the impression Dave that Leeds should be in the top half of the league, maybe playing for a Euro spot?
There were very fine margins against Burnley as are most games in the Premiership, they certainly didn’t play better than us, we also made more goal scoring opportunities than they did. They will not repeat that second wonder goal all season.
I honestly don’t see any real big problem here, we’ve started reasonably well and we’re not in the relegation zone, which in my opinion is better than I expected.
If we finish this season where we are now, believe me it will be a huge success.
We’ve still got injured key players to come back and a lot of new players still adjusting to the team and Farke’s methods.
If we can just keep our heads out of the relegation zone by Christmas then we’ve got a decent chance of finishing outside it come the end of season.
I’m under no illusion and I’ve always thought that this season is going to be a dog fight and nothing less.

Not at all pal, I want the best for my club and I personally don’t think the arrogant 1 is the best for the club.
Stick and i guarantee we get relegated.
I don’t like him and I don’t rate him.
And I do believe that the recruitment in the summer both in and out spanks of an internal acceptance that they have 1 eye on being back in the championship next year.

And yet, when Stach was playing well, there was no clamour for him to be deployed differently. Odd that. ?.

He doesn’t come across to me as an arrogant man, think he’s always been respectful especially to the fans. He’s not a Bielsa if you wanted to compare him to him, I don’t think there will be anyone at our club who will compare to Bielsa.
Farke also got us promoted with the title did he not?
The recruitment was pretty decent if you take into account how much we had to spend and no with no star player who wanted to leave to generate extra funds.
If you look at how we’ve played against teams like Bournemouth, Fulham and Spurs you could easily say on another day we could’ve beaten all three of them,
I’m backing Farke to keep us in the Premiership this season but I’m not backing him to rip up this league with a huge amount of goals.

During transfer window, narrative being spun by some on here was that when Burnley and Mackems were signing lots of players, people on here said oh hold on a minute
Both those clubs are only going to end up at a level we were already at, because both of them were so far behind us in quality
That's what was said
Well lads guess what Burnley looked better than us at weekend, no panic, no rush, they just were more assured and more confident in their game plan, so if their signings only brought them to our level, well how come they beat us?
Rhetorical question alert
Now I have said that to highlight the silly narrative that some put on their transfer window and the snails pace our window went, thus so me put that spin on it, rather than say, yes Leeds could be more active in window
Others are also saying oh we are 15th , we should be happy with that, well we could be lower after Friday
I understand staying up will be classed as our main goal this Seez
But Xmas is approaching and we all know, whose normally down there over Xmas / new year tends to be the 1's who sink down plug hole come April
Come on Danny, it's time to swing the axe on some players.
