Late goals

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

We seem to be conceding late goals at times lately after he has already made 2 or 3 subs too. Do we blame Farke for that as well??

Farke had done remarkably well this season but he still had things to work on. I?ve been to a few games this season and mates have too.

During that period when his job was under threat he seemed to be less cautious and make more subs earlier and more of them.

I have been to a couple of games were the ere were players who looked tired after about 60 minutes and he waited another 20 minutes.

The problem is by them sometimes the momentum in the game has shifted and the players coming on don?t have time to shift it back.

In a seasons where fine margins count it might make a difference. He seems to be naturally cautious in that he doesn?t line players to take may risks and he is prone to stick rather than twist.

That is part of the overall package with him which I understand but it doesn?t make it any less frustrating.

I'm hearing you Hope...and certainly understand what you are saying, as earlier he was slow to change things up. But just wanted to point out the fact that he is a possibility of getting a kick in the guts with criticism regardless of when he makes subs. He doesn't make them early enough and they score....or otherwise takes the risk of upsetting the formation and makes them.... and then they score after that. Always a gamble either way, and not too many managers get that right all the time from what I've seen.

Sorry for all the typos but posting from a phone often means there are glitches.

Yeah he does get a lot of criticism at times but sometimes one gets the feeling he doesn’t always help himself on that regard.

At other times the criticism seems fair, not least because promoted teams need to leave no stone unturned.
