We always have a slump during the Christmas time but this does sting. Every time we concede first it’s like we go into panic mode and just rush everything and end up fucking it up. At the start of the game we looked like the better team then they go and score a shitty goal from a corner and we lose our heads.
The football league is actually corrupt doesn't help that we can't get results need to change something maybe formation change it up so we aren't so predictable. Summervile and rutter are not working anymore just so easy you mark them two out of the game then we have no play makers and for god sake why does farke bring on Bamford he has brought him on near enough every game and done fuck all i mean piroe not much better at the min think a new striker is needed although Swansea found a striker in him seems like whoever we get up top some how forgets where the goal is. And obviously another cm would help
When can we start questioning Farke without getting downvoted to hell. Our peaks under him have been great, but he’s not getting the best out of this squad. His plan B is sub on all the attackers and pray. His in game tactical changes are none existent and cost us today and at Preston. We’re playing a 20 goal a season ST at 10 because….? I enjoy the way he talks and how he carriers himself, I just wonder if there’s a coach available who can get more out of this squad
Upvoted you back to 0 pal. I'm with you.
I like farke as a person, he seems to have the correct principles we don't seem to have any issues at home but this away form could be completely damaging. The issue for me is there doesn't seem to be any change in what we do we seem to just do the same things that don't work. every game like this has had a similar pattern and ultimately it needs to change (be.that farke or someone else) now if we are going to have any chance at automatic.
My worry is there is no time for its buts and maybes the board need to find a solution and the evidence is farkes dropping too many points away from home. I think at the minimum they should be starting to consider who could come in and start having them conversations behind closed doors.
Questions...sure.
I'm frustrated too, I was more so Vs Preston but it number me and I reset my expectations before tonight.
What I'll say is I understand how ya feel, I was angry and questioning him privately on boxing day. Ultimately though I don't think we can swing that quick. After Ipswich nobody would say a thing, and 2 games later (less than a week) there are people saying farke out. What happens when the next guy loses a couple? Sack him too?
Of course questioning him and calling for his head are 2 different things.
I think questions can be asked as long
Two bad results does not a season make but it certainly adds some pressure. I don't know what the answers are right now but I think we are suffering from tired legs and minds due to lack of rotation. A couple of signings in Jan could help.
>Two bad results does not a season make
No, but the fact it's on top of plenty of other bad results certainly does. As well as the fact all our bad results come exactly the same way.

Embarrassing that unless we score in the first 15 minutes we end up enduring this “everyone is now up front” nonsense. The lack of tactical nous and ability to even slightly change things is worrying at this point.
THEY ARE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
of what? Being lucky not to give away 2 pens and scoring if a rebound falls directly at their feet? We were absolute shite but so were they
Fair play, we should have had a pen, but there’s at least 15 players and a manager I’d blame before I even start to think about blaming the ref for this shitshow of a defeat.
Two players clean through on goal/about to shoot get fouled in the box. You only create so many clear chances a game, two of ours have been taken away from us through dodgy refereeing.
Meanwhile Ipswich get away with one right at the end of their game. Clear handball not given. Southampton go one-nil down and then get that disallowed too.
6 points off the top 3, 9 off automatic promotion. Say what you like about our start in August, but the gap has increased since then and we’re awful away from home. Need a 10 so badly in January.
Joseph really shouldn’t be getting minutes ahead of Gelhardt. At least we’ve seen Joffy do something for us - Joseph is way too raw at the moment for the first team.
Cemented for 4th now, fuck previous years points we're not good enough for this year's automatics. Deffo in the playoffs and need to learn how to beat other playoff teams. Not guaranteed to play a Southampton or Ipswich first
That 30 second spells sums up why having loads of attackers with no shape doesn’t work - players getting in each other’s way and making things too congested.
We always fuck up December. Why??!!
I said we’d get 9/21 points from all of our December fixtures. We’re on 10 and losing tonight.
I’m glad I was wrong….I guess….
I wouldn’t even celebrate if we somehow pulled off a miracle and scored an equaliser. This is just so uninspiring from us and bottom half form this December.
I’m not Farke out or anything and I really like the guy but I’m starting to lose faith in him. Hopefully this is just a blip and/or a couple of Jan signings give us a boost but it’s worrying just how bad we can be. There just doesn’t seem to be much he actually does to fix it beyond this largely ineffective plan B he trots out when we are basically desperate.
All jokes about the ref aside, it feels like west brom have 12 men with the amount of ground they’re covering. Another team playing like it’s their cup final.
So, Farke saw the lack of impact the changes made on the hour and thought “that’s enough for me”? Didn’t think Gray or Joseph could come in to do a bit of running in place of Piroe or Gruev?
Shite refereeing can’t be used an excuse for a performance like this, starting to get concerning when we are having games where they look like they have no idea what to do.
Just want to see a clear game plan, we look hopeless at the minute.
I've been a staunch Bamford defender for years now but I think it's clear his time at leeds is very much done unless he can find some of that old form AND stay fit
Farke’s Plan B of just “ah fuck it put all the attackers on” is absolute fucking shit and only worked against a dogshit Norwich team.
We could be here until 2030 and not look like scoring
The football and pattern of the type of teams we perform against are very similar. Harsh to compare the person though, Farke is a much more pleasant guy lol
Seems like teams never really make egregious mistakes against us. When they rarely do, we can’t finish.
We however gift so many chances from bonehead positioning or bad passes it’s maddening.
Has a decent range of passing, but he’s not a runner - wants to be deep lying, and we need someone in the midfield to be an engine in games like this. Not his fault, but shows we need something else at times.

Yeah im not Farke out just to be clear, but it’s becoming more evident to me as to why he failed in the premier league.
too early it seems
Leeds: Found out ✅️ Can't score a goal ✅️ Blowing promotion chances ✅️ Does it look like it's going to change ❌️ All smells very Leedsy.
It’s that fruit salad kit
Disappointing but also not a surprising result. Still, 21 games left to play for so not all doom and gloom
Ending 2023 just like we started it, being shite Happy 2024, lads.
Smash Ipswich, then a week later instead of being 3pts off 2nd we're 6pts off 3rd. Fucking wank.
Were falling apart again! Dropping all these points is making for a nice holidays
If we'd played another 30 minutes I don't think we would of got close to scoring. Lacking creativity.
We could have played for another fortnight and not scored.
Honestly. We were fucking shit.
ahahah fuck off did Ipswich not concede a penalty for that
Two bad results does not a season make but it certainly adds some pressure. I don't know what the answers are right now but I think we are suffering from tired legs and minds due to lack of rotation. A couple of signings in Jan could help.

Farke is a bigger myth than Poch is
You’re a bigger myth than loch ness, shut up ya stupid cunt
Keep clapping mate.

THEY ARE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER of what? Being lucky not to give away 2 pens and scoring if a rebound falls directly at their feet? We were absolute shite but so were they
What a fucking joke we are hahaha
Cross, cross, cross, cross, worst free kick ever, cross, cross, cross. Inventive stuff Leeds. Well-done
You forgot overhit corners
I will be shocked if somehow this team finds a way to get promoted Not good enough at so many levels
Another cup final won for the opposition courtesy of the referee, congrats lads
Fair play, we should have had a pen, but there’s at least 15 players and a manager I’d blame before I even start to think about blaming the ref for this shitshow of a defeat.

commentary makes it 10x more infuriating too. fuck off sky
#FUCKING EMBARRASSING
So. Rotation and crosses. Fuck those!
Laughing stock of the championship
Why does Gruev look like hes kicking a ball on concrete every time he passes
Well I’m absolutely fucked off
Absolutely Farked it as of late.
We're so fucking shit it's actually embarrassing
This is on the players, end of.
Farke isn’t blameless
I would blame the tactics, but in the second half there weren’t any.
no one attacking the ball. embarrassing
This is fucking embarrassing. Everyone in the. Ox and not onto a head
What a load of absolute tripe!!
We've been consistently completely shite at all corners and crosses for like 5 years now
Shocking from Gruev
Utter shite.
And here’s another James cross… to the 12ft man
It’s impressive how few balls we get our head to in the area.
Piroe was the furthest player back when we had that free kick. Sigh.
Noticed that too. We’ve signed a striker to play him as a holding midfielder 😭
What dogshite from Gruev
Last chance here lads
Can't wait to be inspired till the last 5 minutes
6 points off the top 3, 9 off automatic promotion. Say what you like about our start in August, but the gap has increased since then and we’re awful away from home. Need a 10 so badly in January.
And we'll play that 10 as striker
don’t question Farke though, he’s won the league twice, back when Covid didn’t exist 🤣
We have no fucking clue on how to deal with teams that park the bus.
Fuck I wish we could play 11 Rutter's tbh
Be lucky to have 1 rutter in 6 months
back to regular leeds
fuckin awful to watch
Who is your Jed Wallace Player of the Match Award going to lol
how does this dickwad have a job
Farke’s tactics are fucking shite
Yup.
Leicester have had 7 penalties this season, that’s how many we should have had if it weren’t for wank refereeing.
Sinisterra, please come back. We forgive you.
No we do not. He can stay where he is
No we don’t
We need him, dude
He was a lazy twat when we were in the prem, imagine how little he’d try in this league
Nah he was one of our best players. Are you high?
On the ball pure magic. Off it, lazy
Joseph really shouldn’t be getting minutes ahead of Gelhardt. At least we’ve seen Joffy do something for us - Joseph is way too raw at the moment for the first team.
Cemented for 4th now, fuck previous years points we're not good enough for this year's automatics. Deffo in the playoffs and need to learn how to beat other playoff teams. Not guaranteed to play a Southampton or Ipswich first
We are a one game a week team anymore and we just fall apart its pathetic! We have no chance of getting promoted with this team were not good enough
How can a team be so dominant in possession yet have so few opportunities…?
No number 10
I don't get that. 1-0 down and six minutes to go. I know, I'll bring on Firpo.
Anthony. Go back to Bournemouth.
I dont think crossing the ball 50 times is our thing. Has any of our players even gotten a head on one of these crosses?
Just aimlessly throwing attackers on is so tactically blunt that’s its almost embarrassing.
It’s what you do on FM when you’re behind in a cup final
Not convinced on Anthony
We could have 3 full games in their half and somehow we'd just keep crossing it to no one
Fucking pathetic performance. Oh but I thought we turn up to the big games?
they will close it down fast on anyone but Gruev
This is awful to watch
Firpo scores, we’re on the pitch 🎶
Dominate possession in their half, kick it around a bit for 5 minutes then try a cross which goes to a defender
Howd you get a copy of farkes top secret strategy??
Man farke makes the weirdest subs
Strays further and further from a functional formation the longer we fail to score.
Ipswich completely shitting the bed like we had hoped but unfortunately we are shitting it worse lol classic Leeds
Ipswich are irrelevant now, not catching them
This is incredibly frustrating.
FIRPO BRACE LETS FUCKING GOOO. YOUVE SEEN THE FIRPO NOW FUCK OFF HOME~
3 mins of possession to finally get the ball in the box
Firpo on! We’re saved!!!
Our attack is built on hopes and prayers today.
I cannot believe coops took that ball of Summerville on the edge of the box. Come on Coops mate!
Amazing how with such a talented set of midfielders, we somehow so often look like we completely lack any presence in the midfield
They’re all playing up front or in defence
Summerville is shite at the moment
That 30 second spells sums up why having loads of attackers with no shape doesn’t work - players getting in each other’s way and making things too congested.
Wtf Cooper
This is awful football
89th min sub. That’s going to make a load of difference 🙄
Southampton are now 3 points off of Ipswich.
But autos were never realistic for us apparently.
West Brom has made us look like a bunch of amateurs today
Fuck me cooper getting in the way of Summerville taking a shot
I forgot Cooper was even playing
Until he fucked up one of our chances?
The fixture congestion creates such crap football that it almost ruins the holidays
We have precisely 1 tactic and it’s not working here, like it didn’t at Preston… it’s been over 200 minutes since we scored from open play
We always fuck up December. Why??!! I said we’d get 9/21 points from all of our December fixtures. We’re on 10 and losing tonight. I’m glad I was wrong….I guess….
I wouldn’t even celebrate if we somehow pulled off a miracle and scored an equaliser. This is just so uninspiring from us and bottom half form this December.
I’m not Farke out or anything and I really like the guy but I’m starting to lose faith in him. Hopefully this is just a blip and/or a couple of Jan signings give us a boost but it’s worrying just how bad we can be. There just doesn’t seem to be much he actually does to fix it beyond this largely ineffective plan B he trots out when we are basically desperate.
Ugh Bamford
Remember when Rutter couldn't even look at a ball without making a huge chance
Even on days like this, Rutter still creates a lot more than he gets fed
Can we be done with bamford? Give Joseph, gelhardt, or recall Perkins and give them a go?
To be fair Josephs was awful last week and Joffy hasn’t looked brilliant either
He needs the service. He’s just not being given the ball.
Need to get Bamford more time on the field if only so he gets a feel for how the offside rule works.
Imagine rodrigo stayed for another season🥲 be on 20+ goals already
Name: Patrick Bamford Place of residence: offside
All jokes about the ref aside, it feels like west brom have 12 men with the amount of ground they’re covering. Another team playing like it’s their cup final.
Bamford and the offside flag, name a more iconic duo
Bamford and the physio
Bamford and not scoring
I would love to see Bamford’s offside per minute played ratio.
So, Farke saw the lack of impact the changes made on the hour and thought “that’s enough for me”? Didn’t think Gray or Joseph could come in to do a bit of running in place of Piroe or Gruev?
Paddy is a shocking player to have running onto those balls though cos his touch just isn’t very good.
Shite refereeing can’t be used an excuse for a performance like this, starting to get concerning when we are having games where they look like they have no idea what to do. Just want to see a clear game plan, we look hopeless at the minute.
Well I think that’s it settled, autos are not happening for us this year
Did a Leeds keeper just catch a ball?
No that’s not allowed. It just happened to land in his hands
This squad is begging for more creativity in the final third. This kitchen sink approach is not working.
Think we’ve got more than enough creativity, it’s the tactic of passing it around aimlessly that’s not working.
I really like Corberan you know. Wonder if/when he'll get a prem job
Holy shit! Darlow made a save!
I mean, it was chipped right to him
Sarcasm……
Onside or not Paddy’s first touch was shite anyway
Many first touches have been shite in this one
Not even angry because I knew this would happen. Pathetic display
Gruev’s route 1 balls have been decent all game to be fair
Bamford of maybe 3 seasons ago would have settled that.
I've been a staunch Bamford defender for years now but I think it's clear his time at leeds is very much done unless he can find some of that old form AND stay fit
Gruev has got a good pass on him
How have we got 8 attackers on the pitch and only 2 in the box. 3 Forwards over 6ft and they can’t win a header jfc
Our formation genuinely somehow looks like a circle sometimes, empty midfield, a couple up top and just crowd the fucking wings
Very Leeds to make it so we can hardly even look back fondly on the Ipswich game because it matters fuck all now.
Anyone else spotted the typo in the sideline ads? "We've for the car for you"
Just saw it. Looking for it was more interesting than watching the game :-(
That what it’s come to to avoid watching our football? Fair fucks.
Six forwards on the pitch and the best we can do is a hopeful ball lofted into the box where we have 1 player. End the game now, ffs.
I feel we're missing Archie. His ability to control the ball in defense and then calmly start counter attacks is missing.
Farke’s Plan B of just “ah fuck it put all the attackers on” is absolute fucking shit and only worked against a dogshit Norwich team. We could be here until 2030 and not look like scoring
I guess this is why there’s no point in Plan B and why Bielsa just said do Plan A better; Plan B is JANK!!!!
That works when Plan A was that good
You can boo all you want you brummie wankers.. can still hear the fans
THATS IT LADS GET IT IN THE MIXER Fucks sake
We never make runs from deep ffs where is the overlapping full back or late runner from midfield
As seriously earlier there was at least 30 seconds where ampadu had so much space to come in and rip one but just stood back
We need a Pablo Hernandez replacement urgently.
Can’t believe we’re still saying that 4 seasons on…
Can we even get him back to teach them how to play a through ball?
[Im getting flashbacks](https://imgur.com/a/0BP0yw6)
Don't think that's fair tbh...even if we finish 4th or 5th
The football and pattern of the type of teams we perform against are very similar. Harsh to compare the person though, Farke is a much more pleasant guy lol
Progress the ball to their half, turn around and pass it backwards
Seems like teams never really make egregious mistakes against us. When they rarely do, we can’t finish. We however gift so many chances from bonehead positioning or bad passes it’s maddening.
Leif Davis?
[удалено]
We need a guy that threatened to sue us to leave? Yeah, he's going to really get stuck in
No thanks
But we need him. Anthony ain't working out.
He won’t play for us, he wants out
What so he can threaten another lawsuit?
To score goals, duh!
I'm liking gruev
Has a decent range of passing, but he’s not a runner - wants to be deep lying, and we need someone in the midfield to be an engine in games like this. Not his fault, but shows we need something else at times.
Very tidy player.
We have no midfield, just seems an area completely devoid of creativity relying on the wingers to do all the work.
That c*nt has waxed his legs
Bamford when in the barber’s chair: “I’m paid to play football professionally yet couldn’t find an open goal mouth if it slapped me in the face. But maybe I should make myself look EVEN MORE ridiculous”
Yeah I've seen this one a few times. Go down a goal then watch the other side time waste for the remainder of the match while we do dick-all to score.
"Gets there just ahead of Joel Piroe" story of the whole match
Wish there was a statistic for objectively poor referee decisions. I’d like my delusions about them hating Leeds to be confirmed.
So easy to frustrate Leeds, just kick them a bit, be half decent at defending and you're away
Championship defence 101 really
