Leeds United - v - Southampton ***Matchday Thread***

[Rev72]

Our big players just didn’t turn up today but in truth they probably couldn’t give a toss because at least 3 of em won’t be here next season!

Farke had the tools to do the job but has failed , only time will tell just how costly his failure will be.

We will be in the championship for a few seasons now , cheers Daniel.

All for keeping an unchanged side when winning and playing well, but the signs were there after the break, we had the squad / players available to slot in and show there worth, but sadly Farke had zero trust, players with fresh legs & energy, not given a chance, end result is todays woeful shambles.

Being in the Championship "for a few seasons" would be possible if we can replace those who leave with adequate quality. Which player (and their agent) in their right mind, from anywhere, would look at Leeds as an attractive proposition? Not so much staying in the Championship as avoiding relegation.

But there is a silver lining, looks like Aaronson, Kristensen and Roca will return, yippee!😝😝😝

Thought the worst players by a country mile today where Rutter and Summerville.

Rutter hasn’t got the first f’ing clue what he is going to do and wasted so much ball today with poor touches or passes or just the wrong option.

Summerville had a lot of the ball but never seems to take on his man on the outside.

Piroe wasn’t great but thought started well - it should be so bloody obvious that Rutter and Piroe struggle in the same line up.

Kamara and Gruev are too conservative and neither make runs forward or are progressive enough with the ball. Their midfield was very good and tactically astute.

Ampadu was hugely at fault for their goal. He left Armstrong unmarked and Gruev was pointing at him about 30 seconds before the goal.

They had a plan and were tactically clever - we weren’t.

Anthony, Jospeh, James, Joffy, Cresswell, Shackleton and Roberts have had shockingly few minutes - we have a bench advantage we never properly exploit.

Thought Dan James and young Joseph did more in the time they had than the rest of em put together!

No idea why James did not start, such a good player. Never mind Rev you do not have to worry about var next season and of course you will be welcome back down to the Den. Happy days.

James is indeed a very good player, better than winger gnonto, should have started.

[BelfastAndy]

Gutted. Never turned up. Subs too late. Bye bye to six best players.

Summerville didn't want to do anything that could have impacted on move. Eg. Hamstring or ankle.....
