Allow me to be the first to say this FARKE OUT

[ozleeds]

Don't come crying to me ����
When Spam score a 94th minute goal to send us down on the last day.
No glue will be strong enough.

Especially if it?s Summerville who nets the winner

Farke?s Away Record - Just been sent this from a Leeds Utd mate:-

?I read this morning that he has four top flight away wins in his entire managerial career, which includes one full PL season with Norwich (1 away win all season), a few months of a second season with Norwich before he was sacked (1 away win in that time), a full Bundesliga season with Monchengladbach (1 away win all season), and nearly a full season with us (1 away win after 31 games).
All in all 4 away wins from roughly 50-60 away games.?

A little worrying if correct 🫣

Not really fair to base too much on Norwich record. That squad wouldn't have won the championship that year much less survive relegation in the prem.

The one good thing about our current plight is we have a very good defense and there are 4 teams competing for the last spot. Maybe the odds will go our way.

I did read that Ampadu indicated that James is looking outstanding in training.

He'll look good sitting on the bench behind Aaronson and Gruev

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

It’s not that Farke is a bad manager but he is t as good as we need at this level.

We brought in

Perri
Gaby G
Bijol
Bernaeuw
Justin
Stach
Longstaff
Nmecha
DCL
Bounanotte

Any suggestion that Farke has not been backed isn’t born out by that.

Say we had brought in another 4 players chances are that they would all be sitting on the bench or kicking their heels anyway.

If he keeps us up then that would be a great achievement but not sure I’d want to have the same frustrations for another season.

I don't remember any of them at the time were regarded as stellar signings.. think this list highlights how Farke has made the most of his resources... Gaby and Stach have been outstanding and improved massively over the season.. likewise wasn't enthused with us signing Justin... proven me wrong

[ozleeds]

Perri crap
Bijol crap
Bernaeuw WTF
Nimecha ok I guess
Bournanotte WTF why have we been chasing this flop?
Justin is good still a gamble with his history of injuries pass mark so far
Stach is ok not very consistent though
Longstaff deserves better than what our superior leader is giving him
Gaby better than what ever we had but prone to defensive down commings.
DCL set the house on fire but second half of season been poor.
Overall out of ten i give it a 3. If you think thats poor of me look at the table.

[Rev72]

If we stay up then personally I would sack Farke but if we go down which is a strong possibility then I would keep him.

Good enough in the Championship but just not good enough in the Premiership in my opinion.

We should be home and hosed by now and thinking about another season in the Premier League not crapping ourselves at the thought of starting next season in the Championship.

I'm a little fuzzy on your list?

Bijol is probably the best prem rookie CB in the league this year. He'll be a star in a couple of years or sooner.
Justin has been very good.

3/10 seems very harsh.

Lets put it this way which of our list would get a game with the top 5 clubs? Justin i said is great but he has him playing all over the place and is an injury waiting to happen. Bijol is trash put him in a 4 player backline and you will see how bad. 3/10 Is generous doesn't where we sit on the table and the way we play say that?

[ozleeds]

Woah no good charlie creswell apparently MAN U want him and tabled 30mil offer already and we bopught bijol and boomwaterof space what ever his name is. And people still want to keep this idiot even if we go down.

[spaldy]

Cresswell is one of those insane moves that Farke makes. He obviously didn't like him personally and punished him.

He's done well everywhere he's played. He didn't get any minutes at Leeds so we don't even count on that statement.

You can list quite a few others that sit the bench behind players that aren't at their best in any given match yet still stay.

I do think Bijol is better than you rate him but that's what makes life interesting.

horses for courses player wise when in their twenties, pastures new and all that stuff.

the Toulouse coach Martinez Novell only plays Charlie Cresswell in a solid back three alongside the American McKenzie and Nicolaisen from Denmark with Charlie happy under contract until June 2028.
Charlies style is very similar to Harry Maguire, very physical with limited pace which well suits the system he plays in currently and very similar to our Jaka Bijol in many ways.

Charlie plays for a decent young intelligent Spanish coach in Novell who was an ex-goalkeeper and who tries to play attractive technical counter attacking football using the simple philosophical football mental attitude of over time you learn to filter out all opinions that come from outside sources into his players psyche.
basically criticism can be useful but what is important is what happens inside a club, with players and family all being key into following the ideas and convictions of Novell.

so not surprised Charlie is doing well on the pitch and off it now as hes matured lots since leaving Leeds and family behind and when speaking he openly talks about how he now understands the importance of his private time and developing his positional technical game play aspects learned in French Ligue1 where football is played at a slower pace with injections of counter attacking plays, so far less intensity than pl matches.
