Charlie Cresswell Dilemma ?

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Really mental that we have Cresswell and are playing midfielders at CB

Definitely shades of MBs days

Except Bielsa was beloved by the fans and a genius.

Small minded and petty on the part of Farke - not a single CB on the subs bench - nose, spite, face, bite …….

C’mon Sunderland

Not "all fans" are against DF actions, Hopey.
Plenty of my friends under 35 years old see the points he's made as acceptable & obviously have made their opinions known here, there & everywhere via media & matchdays.

Nothing wrong in wanting to be a "starter" but sulking aint acceptable when on a decent contract that he was wanting & got.
Folks shell out 'large' to travel to games to see 100% effort from all Leeds Utd players week in out of their shrinking wage packets.
Just saying.

And the evidence for Cresswell "sulking"? Wouldn't originate with der Fuhrer by any chance?

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

There is no evidence of Cresswell sulking just being frustrated at a lack of opportunity. If he was sulking a little then could you blame him.

Those posters seem to be aimed at Gnonto not Cresswell though.

Yes great result today but does seem mental not to have Cresswell on the bench. What is Cresswell supposed to do - say he does t want to play as he accepts he isn’t good enough to start?

[joellufcprice]

If Cresswell was showing the right attitude and ability he would be playing.

He isn't so he is not.

I would love nothing more than an academy lad to become our first choice centre back for a decade but it is clear he isn't ready to play, Farke isn't going to just not pick him out of being petty, he is a football manager and if he had a player with the skills and attitude to contribute to the team positively then he would use Cresswell but clearly Cresswell isn't doing that.

I think a loan is in the best interests of all parties, if Cresswell just isn't going to get a game then he needs to go and play and prove a point that he is good enough, I really like him he has looked good whenever he has played for us and clearly has great potential but the attitude has to match the skill and the ability to adapt to new styles has to match the skill as well.

Much like Spence, if the attitude ain't right then get out otherwise it seeps into other players heads and before you know it you're scumchester united with 90% of a team who can't be bothered and think they're better than the team.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Still not sure what Cresswell has actually done wrong rewatching Farke’s press conference beyond disagreeing where he is in the pecking order which is apparently Spence’s sin too.

No suggestion that training poorly just unhappy not to starting.- If that is bad attitude in Farke’s mind the I suspect the problem lies elsewhere than with Charlie.

Yeah but you are going off the interview alone mate. None of us have seen the actual training. Maybe he isn't putting in a shift? Everyone guessing who is to blame here...

And on what evidence do arrive at the conclusion that "If Cresswell was showing the right attitude and ability he would be playing"? The statements from Der Fuhrer, or some other, objective source?

On what basis do you arrive at the conclusion that "it is clear he isn't ready to play"? Another of Der Fuhrers statement?

Have you listened/watched Der Fuhrers press conference? You would suggest that having d0ne so "Farke isn't going to just not pick him out of being petty"??

Der Fuhrer is a football manager who has achieved very little as a manager, apart from oscillating between the Championship and the PL with alarming frequency, nothing more, nothing less (we mich be hoping for more?)

Cresswell was loaned out to Millwall, and Mr Rowett, seemed very well impressed, but maybe that's not enough for Der Fuhrer?

" really like him he has looked good whenever he has played for us and clearly has great potential but the attitude has to match the skill and the ability to adapt to new styles has to match the skill as well" Have you read Rowetts assessments before, during and after the loan at Millwall? Not sure ANY loanee from Leeds has fulfilled all of what you refer to as well as Mr Cresswell.

I ask again, where is your evidence that "the attitude ain't right"?

[WTF11]

Then perhaps Farke should learn to shut the f00k up just as he (presumably) expects his players to keep equally quiet about matters that should be resolved behind closed doors? Petulant, childish, immature, not the qualities we need in a 1st team coach.
