What a great second half performance from our team. Didn’t expect points from the game but what we got was lots of fight and heart and perhaps some clues to our best formation. Farke has this squad playing and if we keep the faith it may come right, particularly if we get 1 or 2 good new players in January.
Could I ask that we tone down the criticism of our manager and players, particularly the personal comments. We all want the same thing, Survival in this league. Fans support can help with that. Repetitive negativity won’t.

Great post, on the back of some good game management, and a great 45mins in H2 from a team who clearly still have faith in the gaffer!

Good post Six, that second half was as good as we have done this season, can't fault the lads and fair play to DF for changing it up, going 3 at the back with wing backs, we looked so much better! Many positives despite the result, play like that at ER in the next 2 and we have every chance of picking up points.

Apparently Daniel had lost the dressing room?
Looks like Farke fights another day as Leeds coach, good for him and his players.
Never say die.

Top post sixpence.

I'm sorry but Farke didn't make those changes, he was forced to just like the meslier situation.
If he DID make those changes then why the funk didn't he do this week's ago? Why the capitulation in the other games?
Why have DCL alone up front for many games when we saw what was coming?
This doesn't vindicate Farke's 'tactical genius' it shows him for the stubborn old mule that he is; refusing to change until he is forced.
He returned to type as soon as we went 2-2 and tried sitting back against man city.
We could have been pumped today and the second half was the best Leeds have played this season and that's how we should play every game and how we should have played.
The board get stick for a crap window but today proved we have the quality to finish mid table, unless we've shipped too many points already.
Farke needs to go as soon as possible and I hope we're not seeing a Marsch moment where he has been given a stay of execution.
(Farke has a worse record than Marsch)
I know this won't make me popular by being honest but the happy clapping needs to stop while we still have a season that can be salvaged.

Good post Six. That second half performance definitely was worth a point. Let's carry it on now and get something from these two home games. I have got my ticket for Brentford, hopefully we can go there with some more points under our belt and look to pick up a point or three on the road. We don't want to be cut adrift.

You sound like good old Baz MOT. Imaginary players who we can bring on, who can play in any formation, just need the stubborn old manager to use them!
Who's going to salvage the season then MOT? Who's going to make a purse out of a sow old ear? We have the players, we have for the next 9-10 games, so what's a new manager going to do with them?

Not isolate DCL.
Back him up with a finisher like Nmecha.
Perri long throw or hoofing the ball up the pitch.
Wing backs who are allowed to push forward.
A midfield that has at least Tanaka in it.
Back three.
No arronson on the wing but so bring him in to hassle tired attackers/ midfielders.
Attacking football not tippy tappy from the back.
Pretty much what we saw against City.
We're not here to take on the top four, we're trying to survive. We have enough quality to do that, with comfort, when we play to our strengths. The strengths that we focused on in the window when we bought these players.
If you can't see that ani, that's on you.
And how can I be baz when he was on here same time as me?

Never said you were Baz…. said you were like Baz.
Not sure what I’m supposed to be seeing? After 2 years of Farke, you know his methods and tactics, you know the players he has at his disposal (enough for you to claim “mid table”) , and yet you’ve be chuntering all season about imaginary player ability / lack of ability alternative tactics etc.
The team we started with was what you (and many others) have be clamouring for, no Aaronson, Gnonto starting, James starting etc and it was a disaster; probably the worst half of football all season.
Baz was famous for his after the event prophecy; like I said, you’re very like Baz…that’s what I see and that’s definitely on me!

Ani, I've been more than vocal about Farke's failings since at least January.

We know MOT!
