The Real Problem With Leeds United

[@WoldsWhite]

Farke winds up the fans with his late substitutions and the occasional perceived lack of a plan or reasoning for those subs. The possession based football is obviously drilled into the players by Farke. So in order to implement his orders the players think they would rather pass sideways and back rather than the fear of losing possession by a surge forward or penetrating pass. Farke quotes % possession and xG at the end of each match as if that is his KPI.

[@joeblackburn42]

Okay, so we'll consider points to be the KPI. We're still doing pretty bloody well

[@clivet3252]

Farke is more interested in making it look like he's doing a good job than actually doing a good job.

[@Siege_Rabbit]

Its good to consider what we know and what we think. If we settle for too many draws we cannot go up? And does Farke decide before or during a game what he will settle for? Concerned about Solomon, his injury record was a concern, if he was who we need him to be arguably spurs wouldnt have loaned him? What does seem to be happening is when we pass it around its to the player who is stationary which gives the marker time to move in, rather than into space to run onto with some gained movement. It becomes very telegraphed and predictable. I think thats one reason Bielsa wanted constant movement?

[@lordsheogorath-bz5ti]

Main problem is, fans thinking they know better. ( spoiler…. They don’t.). Since Bielsa, every fan thinks each new coach has to play like Bielsa. ( Wasn’t ever going to happen.). Tactically, we are a possession and control team. I’ve ignored all content on YT since the game , knowing full well what would be said and who would be blamed and/or defended. We will be fine, we will NOT win all the time, we will lose the odd game. So like you, I believe we have no tactical problems as a squad. 💙💛🤍

👆🏻 This 👏🏻 Although to be fair my instant reaction to the match was to throw a hissy fit 😂

[@clivet3252]

Fans didn't know better than Bielsa but they know better than Farke.

@@clivet3252. The fans don’t know better than farke . The reality that is lost on some is that we are joint second separated only because we have scored 1 goal less than burnley . Had we been top it still wouldn’t be good enough for the wining twats because they would still find something to whine about .

Ultimately, there is no problem associated with LUFC outside of the selfish expectations of the fans. Cheers!

[@clivet3252]

I think the fans are entitled to expect promotion.

[@NowisEvollovetion]

@@clivet3252 Well, then logically. They will have to suffer if they don't get promoted. Ultimately, that is their choice. Cheers!

@@NowisEvollovetion you'll have to suffer if you pick a turd up off the floor and eat it. I don't know what your point is.

[@leeedsonetwo]

No doubt at the end of the season you will be able to explain how we failed because of errors just as we won the 90 point cup last season. All

[@markbradley5818]

The players are at fault, most think we have the best squad and players. Players played awful Saturday, however, we had good chances which players made a mess of !! All this nonsense of blaming someone else when you get you own job wrong !! Pathetic and rather blinkered !!

[@alanshepherd4304]

Everyone on Facebook is an expert!!🙄🇬🇧

[@Jmcnichol95]

We are absolutely fine. After sheff farke was the man and now everyone’s moaning again after a 0-0 away from home. Get a grip Leeds fans and get behind everyone at the club - we’re in a very good spot.

[@leeedsonetwo]

With the most expensive team we are poor.

[@dannyrumsey]

All Leeds fans think we are entitled to win every game no team wins every game I don't care if we play crap as long as we don't lose

[@User_LUdrcn]

Fair comment..there is a reason they play all the games ! Otherwise they should just give us the 3 points….. And historically no other league has more “ upsets”…..lower rated teams beating those above them . Man Utd fans being the definition of entitled fanbase.

[@Rick79LUFC]

Hi Joe your channel is going from strength to strength realy enjoy your content keep up the fantastic work my friend 😀....MOT

[@langshenyou1750]

Leeds United will be fine. They will succeed at attaining promotion. There should be expectations, but some overly passionate supporters view a missed tackle like it is the End of Days. On a side note, Illan Meslier DOES need to improve his hand-eye coordination, and playing baseball, basketball, handball and grid iron football can improve his situation. He is fine with his feet, and most of his decision making. However, I suggest sending him out to play with these amateur non-football enthusiast instead of having him waste his time in training. Maybe fire heat back and forth with Blackburn, shoot hoops with Wainman, launch the pigskin with Connor, or whip the throwball with Kagey. But what do I know, I don’t have a UEFA “A” License. So, I will sit back and enjoy the season. Thank-you for the content, Joe : )

[@keithfreeman7725]

So, a Frenchman playing an English sport, should improve by learning nonsensical American sports poached from the English... Rounders, netball, rugby etc.? Sorry... Having a laugh. 😁

[@TamSpreckley-ot9zw]

I’ve been a Mighty Leeds supporter for 55 years and counting, and i find it hard to believe that any football team in the Football League has missed as many easy chances in the last 5 years as Leeds.

[@clivet3252]

It's a bit silly that you use Farke's picture as clickbait to suggest he's the problem when you're a great Farke defender.

[@joeblackburn42]

The entire video is about his system and style of play, it makes sense

[@clivet3252]

@@joeblackburn42 are you saying that his system and style of play is the problem?

@@clivet3252 I feel like you paid literally zero attention to what I actually said here but sod it

[@clivet3252]

@@joeblackburn42 it doesn't matter what you say in the video or how you explain it - the headline says "the problem at Leeds United is" with a picture of Farke next to it. So it implies that he's the problem.

[@timphillips4147]

Will we allow Sunderland to become the new Ipswich this season? We're not historically a good front runner, though we have had our moments. Bielsa second season, Wilkinson's top flight winners and Revie's 1974 top flight winners. You're right, we do drop points fairly easily under Farke.

[@joeblackburn42]

Absolutely not the point of what I said! It's a case of making sure that you secure the points you think you can get

[@ianclark9198]

To back up your point why not include a list of Leeds United managers with better points per game records than Farke. In fact, I'll save you the job: LIST OF LEED UITED MANAGERS WITH A BETTER POINTS PER GAME RECORD THAN DANIEL FARKE Tumbleweed

[@John-ik1os]

Question is are we the new Leicester or are we playoff mugs again.

[@DrWa11is]

If anyone has ever listened to Top Flight Time Machines Melchester, Odyssey will recognise their "Lampard" fans to be like some of ours. Just need to remember that online isn't real life and that the people who shout the loudest are often the minority. Most fans don't know what they're talking about (including me). It reminds me of the Armando Ianucci show where fans in the pub are being fed information from a load of pundits sat outside in a van. Nobody cares your opinion, which is why you should ignore this comment.

[@EezyB-tf1ei2qx8q]

It may be reasonable to suggest Leeds are doing fine, just like last season, but If the season ends like last season Farke will be sacked and our remaining good players would be sold, I think Farke will be sacked If we were to drop out of the top six between now and the end of the season, because he was brought in to gain promotion, that is the bottom line

[@kevwoods6827]

Hi Joe if you reverse the mistakes to chances missed we would be 6 points better off. 😃

[@Johnyc321]

You asked is it ok for players to under perform in a couple of games?? Meslier and Bamford have been under performing for a couple of years. Yet the Leeds fans continue to shout Bamfords name. These two players are holding this club back. Even on a bad day we should put a poor Bristol City team away. We cannot end up in the playoffs again

[@joeblackburn42]

Are you actually blaming Bamford right now? Who has played VERY little?

[@Johnyc321]

@@joeblackburn42 Is it too hard for you to figure out that if Bamford left we could get a young mobile striker in that could actually contribute to the team. Bamfords wages would pay for a decent player. Tell me what Bamfords contribution has been as last 3 seasons?? Oh thats right he came on and missed a penalty. Do u think Bamford represents good value for money? suppose u are one of the arseholes who chants his name when he comes on. Again I ask you to explain to me what Bamfords contribution has been? U asked is it ok for players to underperform for a couple of games? I pointed out that Bamford has given us nothing for three years now and look at the ridiculous reply u have posted. So Bamford is worth his wages??? U asked the question about underperforming and now u have the brass neck to defend the worst culprit in Bamford. U are a total PRAT
