Excellent game review and analytical commentary with a nice balance of stats and the ol' eye test, Evie! Think you did really well staying on song and articulating the ups and downs of the game and subsequent fan reaction. Also, from a production standpoint your subtitles are very effective in giving everyone a view of what the next aspect of the segment will be and that you are still discussing it. Finally, nice touch with the candle always burning in the background---love candles too, and they give it a nice, warm, homey, personal touch. Well done luv 💙💛💙💛💙 MOT

Farke has a plan and it’s starting to work. He must shut out the noise and condition the players to deliver what he wants. We’ll get stronger as the season progresses. Oh and we need a finishing school to sharpen that front line! Stick to the plan, we’ll get there…

[@PaulBrennan-b6m]

You have given a good match analysis Evie got all the points of view Good ,bad and the ugly 🤝🫶. We have played 3 matches away and team's haven't scored against us yet 🙌. This league is brutal and the hardest second tier in the world 🌎 to get out of I still back Daniel Farke he's the only manager who knew how to play the big man Georginio all the other managers couldn't get a tune out of the big man Georginio. Also Dan James is the player he is now because of Daniel Farke his man management of players is good. I wish he would use the sub's better Evie bring on the lads earlier so they can prove a point they can come on and change a game. 3 points good win and Cardiff are usually our bogey team. Good luck 🍀 with your podcast and show it's going to get better and you helped Jess get going with her show and now you have yours so respect 🤝🙏 it's always refreshing to have a woman's opinions on football they are just as valuable as a man's and you know your football keep fighting we all love Leeds 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙.

[@LeedsUnited19]

Hello, all the way from sunny Australia! We really did play well I reckon, we dominated the game full 90 The only change I would make to our game is we have to use the subs earlier, players like Tanaka and Rothwell are too good at this level to bring on for a few minutes but then again i won’t try to give managerial advice too Daniel Farke, the man has forgotten more than I know At the end of the day we got the job done and that’s all that matters, especially considering we do not normally do well in wales. onto Coventry we go, MOT!!

[@robotwheelhouse]

G'day Evie! Spot on with the "good, bad, ugly" points. Also agree we should be backing the team more while expecting that little improvement in conversion rates. I can see the team will do well once they get a bit more time together as a squad, patience is key imo. ALAW

[@paulgray7014]

Calls for the manager to be sacked at this stage is wild. Its not the most exciting brand of football but good teams build from defence only conceded 4 goals this season (3 in one game) would take 1-0 and 2-0 wins all season end result is promotion. Wish Farke was more proactive with his subs

Another great video, we won! Yea I agree Cardiff were not very good and whilst it may not have been the most exciting game of football we still won, some people really do not like piroe but for me he does get us goals and maybe Joseph and piroe together could prove a good thing. And that celebration loved it but it also made me nervous…I’m thinking please please don’t get injured. I think we’ve got a run of difficult games coming up but I believe in this team. I’m looking forward to Dan James coming back, he adds a bit of the speed to the team 💛💙💛💙

[@orgorg5055]

Another great vid....keep em coming 👊loose the countdown intro tho ...alaw

[@WYRG]

Aye I agree with a fair chunk of all that. Always been of the opinion that if you don't make the opposition GK earn his matchday wage then you've not really done enough quality attacking, as you say the conversion has been poor for a while now, I guess maybe it's partially coz we aren't a premier league club with premier league quality players currently but if it was even just a bit better as you say it could help us spend more time in the top 2. I also felt it was a match where the new players could have had more chance to get some game time, against a poor side like Cardiff it was a prime opportunity for them however farke has apparently come out and said he didn't want to risk it incase Cardiff nicked a goal back. I think of Struijk scores the penalty then you definitely bring on the new lads as the game really would be fairly certain by then. I think we will become more expansive once the players trust each other like how our front lads from last season did, again the team is playing very one sided but I think part of that is we miss Dan james, once Dan's fit and playing again on the right I think the right gets used more, time will tell on that. While I felt we should have beaten Cardiff by more than 2-0, I still celebrated the win, winning is all the substance we need right now, prettier football will come when we are in the premier league with better players, right now let's get out of this division, if all our wins this season are 2-0 and we get 28 of them, with say 9 draws and 9 losses like the Bielsa season then I'm confident we go up on that. And with our richer owners, they'll be able to build the club a squad good enough over the next 5 years to be a stable top half premier league club, and then who knows what the future holds, but right now, just won games and get promoted, whoever has been saying they'd prefer nice football even if we lose needs to rethink their thoughts process PDF'nQ! Nice vid again Evie, looking forward to the next one. MOT!!!

Moving forward will be interesting how we involve the new signings into the side as we don't want them just as impact players from the bench. Congrats on over 1.5k subscibers already,onwards and upwards evie x

[@ktflincs]

Great reel Evie , just one thing i cannot seem to get over is Mr Farke does not seem to make substitutions quick enough , but my main point is do we really need to holding midfielders in Gruev and Ampadu ,when going down to ten men ,Tanaka seems to the player that can make space and likes going forward, And at last we give Piroe the role he was bought for , not the quickest of forwards ,but your comment with Joseph and him up front together seems excellent.

[@discourseofpeacocks]

I agree that Farke seems quite determined in his game plan and often doesn't seem to be proactive with changing things up. You could argue if it works the majority of the time (points wise not necessarily entertainment wise) then why would he risk changing. I agree with the Tanaka point.

[@ktflincs]

Oh,thank you so much for reply ,was not exspecting that , made my day. I am a home and away season ticket holder ,and i think we us fans need to get behind the side rather booing and anti Farke out ,so close to the start of the season. If we had not started as well as last season some justifacation might be apt.

[@gojuglen]

Totally agree with you, it was a frustrating and at times boring game but i think you have to take the game in its context. After they went to 10 men the urgency in the game went, even as a spectator my nerves vanished and the game became less interesting for me. Also the atmosphere at Cardiff, the game just seemed strange from the get go. Leeds did what they needed to do, got the 3 points, 2 brilliant goals, clean sheet, no injuries...social media can seem like a real negative place sometimes!

I loved the eccentricity of Ramazanie too with the celebration, hope he can be our new Georgie in terms of personality and performance. It is always nice to have a few characters out there... like personally i loved when Haaland bounced the ball off of Gabriels head in the city game i think that kind of thing is funny as f although a lot might not like it lol. Just like Alioski used to be he always had a bit of silliness and shithousery that made it entertaining.

I still think the team lacks confidence and seem frightened to try things and often just opt for the safe pass. Farke needs to loosen the leash so they can try creative crosses and passes, or shots from distance. Shooting accuracy seems to be a lost skill, pity Peter Lorimer is not still around to coach them how it’s done.

[@nickjennings8757]

My issue with Farke is his appalling in game management. He has (according to every content creator) the best squad in the league, therefore there is an expectation of automatic promotion. I was at Wembley when we lost, for the third time in a season, to the team that finished 4th. He hadn’t learned anything about Southampton or how to beat them and that’s a worry if we do get promoted. The football is boring and safe, and that isn’t a problem if we win and get promoted - I just dint think we will get promote with Farke in charge. I’ll still celebrate any win though. Good work Evie. ALAW 💙💛💙

That's a fair point about the Southampton game, clearlrurussel Martin used the personal issues he had with Farke and channelled them. I have my own reservations if he can hack it in the prem, but we have to get there first. On paper, stats etc he is the most qualified for the job. Thank you 😊

You can play excellent football against teams like Cardiff if you don't spend half the game passing side ways. It wasn't Man City,it was bloody Cardiff

[@discourseofpeacocks]

A low block is designed to make teams pass side to side and smother the game, it is a very useful system to employ when you don't have the quality to go up against the opponent

[@glenthebeautiful]

@discourseofpeacocks You are correct, but there are ways to get around the block. You can go over it or passed it,but for it to work,your players have to go forward and under this bloody clown of a manager,that is unlikely.

[@discourseofpeacocks]

​@glenculliney3852 did we win against this low block though? Bielsa struggled, he relied on player quality especially Pablo. Low blocks are effective and we limped over the line, the point being we got over it, we didn't drop points.

[@glenthebeautiful]

@discourseofpeacocks We got over it against Cardiff but not Burnley. Hitting the ball side to side is a waste of time and dull to watch. Ultimately results will decide, the next month should tell us more. I have no faith in Farke but let's give the happy clappers hero a chance

@TerryHorner-hb1il I understand that, but do you also understand that last season has literally never happened in the league before? 3 teams haven't got 90 plus points and 1 of them didn't go up. I agree we have to improve, but by the end of last season the players who's performances had dropped after March have all left the club. I think there's a common factor of all of those star players putting themselves before the club. I think the main thing we have to improve on this season is conversion and being a threat from set pieces would be nice 😆

[@TerryHorner-hb1il]

Evie that's why farke cost us promotion by no Rotation and negative towards subs

[@discourseofpeacocks]

I agree that he should have rotated more, however, when it came to it he can't put the ball in the net and we took the most shots in the league last season so if summerville wasn't eyeing up leaving, if gray hadn't had his head turned, if rutter had been able to shoot at the net instead of row z then maybe we would already be having this discussion in the Premier league

[@djbezzer89]

My issues with farkes are certain things not saying farke out by the way but he has me nervous about playing teams like sheff utd & Sunderland who are strong defensively will likely sit back & hit in counter it’s exactly how they played against hull & farkes slow pedestrian patient football will not work against them massive doubts. His subs the real issue Cardiff were absolutely abysmal couldn’t pass 5 yards & yet he still played cautious with 2 cdms for 90 mins against that lot was ridiculous, if he wasn’t going to be less cautious against them then who would he be against? Tanaka tells us he wanted him since last season yet plays him 5 mins a game what’s the point so say gruev gets injured then what Tanaka going to come in cold he’s never going to get match sharp playing 5 mins a game it’s ridiculous & constantly bringing byram on as 1 of the first subs is another baffling decision. There’s teams where been pragmatic makes sense against a 10 men Cardiff side not getting out of their half & 1 nil up isn’t 1 of them

[@johnshores6061]

Id take 3 points another 2-0 and a borefest this weekend

[@yetski21]

sorry you said its not farke's fault the players aren't scoring isn't that his job he coaches them week in week out he can't sort set pieces and he still thinks piroe is a no10 and he didn't ask for a new striker so he has got to get the ones we have scoring moving the ball faster and having someone in the box to finish the chances would help all he has to do with piroe is what Unai Emery did with watkins he told him to stay central and stop roaming around the pitch its not hard

[@discourseofpeacocks]

Was it Bielsas fault that we couldn't score? There's a reason why strikers and clinical forwards are so expensive and it's because it's a hard ask to get a forward that has more than a 15% conversion rate at this level. I do agree about the piroe in the 10 that is obvious to see. I'm presuming it's because he was so expensive that he is having to make him work. I don't think Piroe was number 1 choice on the list that's why

[@yetski21]

The problem with bielsa was he was a idealog and couldn't see the woods for the trees take the Eddie thing was far the better striker but kept playing barnddoor instead and the fact he kept on with robberts when everyone knew he was crap frake is the same in some respects he will keep with the same formation even though we don't have the players to play it properly
