I'm sure you've been sent it 56 times by now, but "That Cardiff City Fan"s reaction to Ramazani's celebration is golden.

Don't like the EFL rule where you can't bring a sub on until the 70th minute

[@kenjarvis8989]

Just updated my database, since 1984, our record against Cardiff reads P30 W6 D8 L16 (3 wins in last 4 games makes it look a bit more healthier) so let's enjoy a good win against one hell of a bogey team MOT

[@control2XS]

Seeing as Farke's biggest complaint is that he doesn't have a 10, is it maybe time he stops playing 4-2-3-1? Why does he insist on using a system that has TWO DMs, and a relies on a 10 that we don't have? Why not play more like a 4-3-3, with Amps or Gruev holding and then you can play the likes of Tanaka and Rothwell in front of him with the license to actually get forward?

[@headonyou9826]

why should he sacrifice his style of play just because the 49ers won't deliver?

I can't get my head around the current mood about the team. Two years ago EVERYONE would have killed for Leeds to recycle the ball when Marsch had them passing into dead ends constantly. Now it seems like people would do anything to have Marsch's chaos back...

Piroe seems to be the perfect player for when we're winning to kill the game, whoch can be incredibly useful. When we're losing with a tean sitting deep he isn't the player you want

Sam Byrum seems to be a much much better player than Boggle, i know he was only on for 15 mins but we seemed so much better down the right. I got to the point with that game i didn't care, it was just so frustrating i was hoping the ref would blow his whistle and put us out of our misery

[@kelvinengland3991]

@@ronisofroniou7740 well he won a penalty and made zero defensive errors, he was a constant threat going forward. Can you please give me reasons he was awful in your opinion, not just 'he was awful'. From what I have seen he scored as one of our better players in all the ratings sites too. I don't understand what he did that was so bad except dive. He had no difficulties defensively and made zero errors and gave us a lot of threat down that side when people decided to play him in. Ampadu and Aaronsson gave the ball away and caused us issues on a couple of occasions, that's all I can remember defensively were anyone on our side caused our own problems.

[@ronisofroniou7740]

@@kelvinengland3991 ok your tight point taken he was not awful , but to me he just does not look physically strong enough just yet , i'm sure he will improve and he is certainly much better than Bamford , my preference for number 9 has always been Piroe because of his finishing .

[@andyc3408]

We are really missing Georgies ability to pick a fast pass and create forward momentum from nothing. Without him we lack creativity. It's just side to side waiting for a gap.

[@EllandRoar84]

Genuine question, what do we work on in training? I cant think of anything we do particularly well for the talent in our squad.

[@paulwilliams5296]

Playing 2 defensive midfielders against a team who's scored 1 goal this season seemed strange to me. It got more strange as we persisted with that after they went to 10 men, even going a goal up the status quo remained, to me that's negative when you have Rothwell warming the bench. Negative side to side and backwards. I believe its 160 shite corners on the bounce now. I was very positive this season even after last week's defeat but that performance up front yesterday has left me questioning where our goals are going to come from

[@andrewcornfield5001]

You know how some teams have a specialist coach for set pieces… I think the 49ers should invest in a coach in charge of making the substitutions, because MY WORD, Farke doesn’t have it.

Really bad penalty take by Pascal. If the game had depended on the penalty decision, say in the 89th minute with score at 0-0, we would really bewailing the fact that not one striker prepared to take it. Not good.

People in the comments saying we need to find a way to get Piroe in the starting 11, as though we haven’t tried to do that

[@leeedsonetwo]

Farke seems not like playing good players like Tanaka, he was different gravy when he finally came on.

[@ianclark9198]

Farke wanted to sign Tanaka a year ago. He looks good in his first few weeks as a Leeds player. But why is your response to use him as a twig to flagellate Farke with? Bielsa famously used to sign players and not give them a kick for 6 months yet fans thought this was genius. Seems like you have a Farke complex..

[@leeedsonetwo]

@@ianclark9198 Tanaka looks really good but only gets 10 mins, that seems crazy to me but it is just part of a wider problem that with Farke and his loony subs policy. Anyway my comment was very mild, much more so than the way I feel about 90 points Faker.

@@leeedsonetwo So had Bielsa at this stage of his time at Leeds. There are actually very few managers at this level who have ever beaten him in the 3 and a bit seasons he's managed at this level.
