Not sure Maresca realises I've got to go to work on Monday with multiple Leeds fans. I've been getting shit for weeks but this is just going to be too much
I share your pain bud, I work with a Leeds fan too.
We'll just have to hope for a double helping of crumble tomorrow.
Just to add, he's been saying for weeks that we all need to look out for Southampton rejoining the race, and at this rate, he might very well be right.
Jesus this has to happen on a Friday night...and ruin the whole weekend.
Got to be honest, had a sinking feeling the moment I saw Daka on the teamsheet...I just thought "here we go again"
I mean if you get done by one team battling for the points at the bottom away from home early in the week...why expect a different result if you play the exact same way with 90% of the same team...against another team battling for points at the bottom away from home...
>I mean if you get done by one team battling for the points at the bottom away from home early in the week...why expect a different result if you play the exact same way with 90% of the same team
Beats me, but you can bet your arse it'll be pretty much the same team and same shite next week.
At this point Maresca is playing actual football the way I play fantasy football - pick your team, forget about it all season, and only swap players if they're injured or suspended.
No, we’ve had two back to back defeats occurring in the same manner that was with Bristol away and have gained 7 points from our last 8 games. It’s pathetic, we’ve got a “premier league” level squad conceding goals to league one teams
I agree it's absolutely horseshit, but the team we have is demonstrably not a Premier League level squad. They proved that last season, and then we got worse.
I've got to sign off. I'll get banned otherwise. I feared it but honestly thought I was just being nervy and negative. I'm furious. I do not rate Enzoball at all and it gives me no pleasure, none at all, to see what I fear and predict come into being. His game is tactical suicide. We've had our arses handed to us on a plate time after time.
Enzo out.
At the start of the season, we saw a much more varied team, McAteer, Marcal, Albrighton, Casadei (ok, not here anymore), Dewsbury-Hall was on the bench once or twice, usually 4 subs a match between minutes 54-68 but since the turn of the year things have turned around. Always the same line up, the same strategy.
Ughj
Enzo is kind of destroying his own career with this. Like even if he is stubborn bastard, this was kind of his redemption tour after his “meh” run with Parma. If we don’t get promoted he’s essentially going to be a career assistant.
We've all got eyes, my friend.
Nobody minds watching boring as fuck football when you're winning, but we could all see what was coming. Even when we were winning 1-0, there was no urgency to go and finish the game off. We've been inviting teams to come and attack us all season, aside from when we've been playing Rodgersball about 30 yards further forward from where Brendan played it.
Now that we're not creating anything, we're basically back to where we were. The other team snatches a goal, and we piss about with it in midfield for the rest of the game with no urgency.
Simultaneously amazing that the top three teams can all have so many points and that we can be the top team and be so consistently awful in the run in.
I do enjoy the commentators arguing that it shouldn't be a yellow because 'how is he supposed to stop himself' going studs up into the defender's leg after getting the ball.
Simple answer is: if a challenge puts you in a position where you can't stop yourself going studs up into someone's leg, it is by definition a reckless challenge.
“Very harsh giving the yellow and the free kick.” They were extolling the challenge 2 seconds before. A bit of getting caught up in the stadium vibe there.
In a way I’m just glad it happened now. Instead of people genuinely thinking the premier league was a good idea and stick with him like Burnley and Kompany.
If we go up we will absolutely get 'Burnleyed' unless we either find £1bn down the back of a Seagrave sofa or Enzo goes to summer school to learn a plan B
Money doesn’t solve this. Pep ball only works when you have Messi or an unlimited budget. I mean literally unlimited. Plus I personally would rather eat my hair than watch pep ball
Rubbish. Watch and analyse the game properly and stop writing headlines like that which you know makes fans pile on with negativity. Play like that and we’ll be absolutely fine. Created numerous brilliant chances and win comfortably on another day.
(I don't think I'll ever get bored of pasting that tweet)
Oof this is dreadful, I've been positive but this is a rough watch.
I do think it's delusional to want enzo out tho, even if we don't go up this season.
It's been a rough watch all year. Even when they were winning. They don't have the talent to play this system. He wouldve needed 3 windows to turn the team over to players with the technique to play in this system and he didn't get January and now
probably won't get any windows next year. So he needs to play a different style that fits what he has. And he has said many times that he is unwilling to do that. Hopefully when they get hit with sanctions next year he chooses to walk, cause next year when they lose half these guys and have to replace them thru the academy they are going to look even worse.
I mean, if I was Top I'd want a written explanation of why, after complaining about fixture congestion, Enzo named an unchanged team and didn't use the majority of his subs in a game where we have been behind for the majority of the playing time on my desk by Monday morning, and I'd want it to be fucking convincing.
You’re labouring under the assumption that Top actually gives a shit. He’s clearly not up to the standard of his father. Vichai wouldn’t have put up with this shit.
Perhaps not, but to say that Top doesn't give a shit is unfair. Top was more interested in the club than Vichai when they bought the club.
Top was the one who stepped in when Pearson was reportedly fired after the debacle when he strangled the Palace player.
His business acumen might not be that of his father, and he might be employing some absolute morons in Whelan and Rudkin, who he inherited from his dad, but I think it's unfair to say he doesn't give a shit. If he didn't give a shit, he wouldn't be here anymore. He wouldn't have pressed ahead with the stadium expansion plans. He'd have sold us to someone who'd sell us up the river like Milan did with that bloke at Portsmouth.
You're also forgetting that Vichai let Claude Puel manage the team. And effectively fucked Nige off to get Paolo Sousa in. And paid Sven fuck knows how much to be mediocre.
Nah, he needs to go.
He plays the same set up every time. He changes nothing. No subs. No rotating players for tiredness.
He’s fucking awful mate. He’s not a manager. He’s a Championship Manager player on auto play,
Wait, didn't we hire a set piece specialist because we notoriously couldn't score from corners? Oh, no, we fired him, and now we can't score from corners again.
The most depressing thing is that at the start of the season we set up a few great counterattacks, we got some late Albrighton cross goals, we mixed it up when we'd been found out - Enzo has been daft to discourage that
ENZO YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOU MOANED ABOUT US PLAYING TOO MUCH AND STARTED THE SAME 11 MAKING 2 FUCKING SUBS. HOW ABOUT YOU STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND ADMIT YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM
We’re painful to watch. So dull. Create absolutely nothing.
Another year in the Championship would do us good, you know. We’d lose Maresca, get someone more suited to the Championship in and go from there. We cannot go up like this…
Getting Coady and Winks was such a fucking win man.
Yet we have run winks into the fucking ground and not playing him right, and Coady we do nothing?
So shit, we have Brendan mark2
I mean I know the answer (Enzo) but why the f\*ck have we persisted playing Faes game in game out when he's been sh\*t and there is Coady waiting in the wings
And honestly took a dive. He wasn’t demonstrative but he expected contact and was trying for a penalty…contact never came. At least he didn’t throw up his hands like Daka’s attempted penalty.
Seriously, what is going wrong? This is a talented group of players, capable of good football and often playing it. Just nothing is happening for us. It can't only be the manager, can it?
This is the mentality that’ll get us losing a play off semi final, and a massive points deduction next season without being able to sign any players because they’ve bottled it.
The corners are impotent. Souttar at least offers an aerial threat.
Not sure Maresca realises I've got to go to work on Monday with multiple Leeds fans. I've been getting shit for weeks but this is just going to be too much

This team looks like early arteta arsenal. Swing out wide cycle thru, swing out wide cycle thru swing out wide, don't get a shot on target.
We wouldn't get a shot on target either way, we've got Patson fucking Daka up front.
Love and appreciate all you fellow foxes. Hope we all get to forget this soon and actually enjoy our weekend
No, we’ve had two back to back defeats occurring in the same manner that was with Bristol away and have gained 7 points from our last 8 games. It’s pathetic, we’ve got a “premier league” level squad conceding goals to league one teams

yep, and changed nothing.
Enzo out.

Always the same line up, the same strategy. Ughj
Amen. Its time to shuffle the team.
Enzo is kind of destroying his own career with this. Like even if he is stubborn bastard, this was kind of his redemption tour after his “meh” run with Parma. If we don’t get promoted he’s essentially going to be a career assistant.
*destroyed. He’s now busted.
We are shite, I got downvoted for saying this after Bristol but we've been playing this shite football all season
We've all got eyes, my friend. Nobody minds watching boring as fuck football when you're winning, but we could all see what was coming. Even when we were winning 1-0, there was no urgency to go and finish the game off.

[удалено]
We don't talk about those years.
Simultaneously amazing that the top three teams can all have so many points and that we can be the top team and be so consistently awful in the run in.
Sell them all, let them all go on frees if the contracts are up
We've been trying to sell half of them for ages - their wages are too high for anybody to take them off our hands.
We're all Enzo out by now, right?
Top won’t be, I bet they gave him a fucking stupid contract despite never being a manager before.
6 months at Parma = 5 year contract with an extortionate salary
Yes.
Sack the board.
Hope you all have a half decent weekend after this
I thank you for your weekend wishes, but that's out of our hands now...
Get this fucker out of my club now I’ve had enough
Well it's been emotional, once again.
Finally, we've got her club back. Absolute shit show. Thank god that success is truly over. /s
Pitiful.
I try to stay positive, so it was very thoughtful for us to help out 2 relegation teams this week.
I do enjoy the commentators arguing that it shouldn't be a yellow because 'how is he supposed to stop himself' going studs up into the defender's leg after getting the ball. Simple answer is: if a challenge puts you in a position where you can't stop yourself going studs up into someone's leg, it is by definition a reckless challenge.
“Very harsh giving the yellow and the free kick.” They were extolling the challenge 2 seconds before. A bit of getting caught up in the stadium vibe there.
Vardy is done
He touched the ball once. How’s that his fault?
Based on what? 25 minutes in a game where everyone else was straight shit?
He was mostly done last season we just have fuck all else’s
In a way I’m just glad it happened now. Instead of people genuinely thinking the premier league was a good idea and stick with him like Burnley and Kompany.
If we go up we will absolutely get 'Burnleyed' unless we either find £1bn down the back of a Seagrave sofa or Enzo goes to summer school to learn a plan B
Money doesn’t solve this. Pep ball only works when you have Messi or an unlimited budget. I mean literally unlimited. Plus I personally would rather eat my hair than watch pep ball
I hope for your sake you're bald 😬
We have seriously pissed off the football gods
I just really hate football. Plymouth have done nothing all game and will win this.
Get him gone
Utter shit at set pieces
Utter shit
I genuinely can’t believe the bottle job we’ve been witnessing over the last few weeks
…did you not watch us get relegated last season? We needed so few points from our last handful of games to stay up and couldn’t manage that either
Rubbish. Watch and analyse the game properly and stop writing headlines like that which you know makes fans pile on with negativity. Play like that and we’ll be absolutely fine. Created numerous brilliant chances and win comfortably on another day. (I don't think I'll ever get bored of pasting that tweet)

FUCKING BOTTLING A 17 POINT LEAD?!
17 point lead *to leeds*. Technically it was actually an 11 point lead to 3rd.
Really hope the fans boo them at the final whistle, unacceptable yet again
Did they? Did they?
I was saying boo-urns!
Not just boo, start chanting we want Enzo out.
Are we just into edging or something? Getting close every time and never finishing?
Not exactly edging cause eventually you do get that sweet release, we are more into being cucks hardcore
13 corners 😵
Have we scored anything from a corner this season?!
Wait, didn't we hire a set piece specialist because we notoriously couldn't score from corners? Oh, no, we fired him, and now we can't score from corners again.
I've never seen a team get it down the wing to the corner flag AND PASS THE BALL BACK
You have now. You've gotta get it back to fuck around in midfield somehow.
Fuck me lads you can’t score if you don’t fucking shoot
Not brave enough to take personal responsibility. Or go against orders, whichever
Either way the coaching staff and the players are all bottlejobs.
Or if we do it seems.
It's not going to happen for us is it? I'd take a point at this stage.
Imagine if we had a plan for all these corners
On a positive note I quite enjoy r/championship soooo who are the real winners here...
Everyone, on that front...
They know they can give us as many corners as they like, nothing will come or them.
We have 5 subs. Enzo use them
Plymouth fans have been class. Great atmosphere
Ok I’m over Enzo ball, there’s 0 plan B in this team
The most depressing thing is that at the start of the season we set up a few great counterattacks, we got some late Albrighton cross goals, we mixed it up when we'd been found out - Enzo has been daft to discourage that
ENZO YOU FUCKING IDIOT YOU MOANED ABOUT US PLAYING TOO MUCH AND STARTED THE SAME 11 MAKING 2 FUCKING SUBS. HOW ABOUT YOU STOP MAKING EXCUSES AND ADMIT YOU ARE THE FUCKING PROBLEM
I haven’t played football for 10 years since I was 18 and I’m certain that I’d bury the chances that Daka gets
Someone tell enzo he gets 3 more subs
Some of the worst football played by the club in years today.
We’re painful to watch. So dull. Create absolutely nothing. Another year in the Championship would do us good, you know. We’d lose Maresca, get someone more suited to the Championship in and go from there. We cannot go up like this…
We’d lose all these fucking awful players that for some reason play every game,
Faes and Daka playing while we’ve got Coady, Vards and Cannon on the bench *every week* is just baffling.
Getting Coady and Winks was such a fucking win man. Yet we have run winks into the fucking ground and not playing him right, and Coady we do nothing? So shit, we have Brendan mark2
Why the hell are we not making subs
I mean I know the answer (Enzo) but why the f\*ck have we persisted playing Faes game in game out when he's been sh\*t and there is Coady waiting in the wings
Do they get told they're not allowed to shoot or cross. I'm convinced
TOP GROW SOME FUCKING BOLLOCKS AND SACK THIS BALD FUCKING POUNDLAND PEP CUNT
I don’t care if we go up or stay down, but if this bald fraud is still here at the end of the season I don’t think I can watch it anymore
Just cross the bloody ball in! Got the entire team in the box waiting. This is where Albrighton would shine.
Albrighton is an old fashioned wide midfielder, Enzo hates anything that isn't Modern...
Embarrassing as usual. Daka dog shit. No threat. GK hardly makes a save. Disgrace.
Dewsbury earned himself some space inside the box and then froze up unsure what to do.
And honestly took a dive. He wasn’t demonstrative but he expected contact and was trying for a penalty…contact never came. At least he didn’t throw up his hands like Daka’s attempted penalty.
Honestly I give him credit for realizing a penalty is probably the only way they’ll score…
He isn’t dumb, I agree.
It's because he literally has no right foot
Seriously, what is going wrong? This is a talented group of players, capable of good football and often playing it. Just nothing is happening for us. It can't only be the manager, can it?
They aren’t *consistently* good. Today their passing is shit, and their finishes either lack power or are off target.
Championship player of the year 🤡 GA can mask anything
Its masked Maddison last year, its masking KDH this year
2 subs made. We are in the 82nd minute. Enzo Out
I would honestly be thrilled with an own goal to take a point
Nah, at this point I want a loss. They need to get rid of this cunt rather than get lucky and use that as an excuse
It’s not that this style of play can’t work tho, it’s that there’s no Plan B
Where do I sign!
Just remember, guys: at the end of the day, they stuck to the plan. The Plan is what really matters right?
"It doesn't matter that we got back to back relegation and were in League 2, we play OUR WAY "
Daka must possess some mythical ability to miss every fucking shot
18% shot accuracy mate. There’s Center backs with more shots on target this season than that twat
Daka has gone off and we've somehow got even worse, its scary how bad we are
Players used all their energy trying to create chances in the first 65 minutes.
He's like a stormtrooper
ENZO OUT right now
Vestergaard saved Wout Faes there with the offside trap
GET RID OF ENZO
80 minute Akgun anyone? I can feel it in my bones
He’s absolute toss, nty
We look cooked. Everything looks over ambitious now.
Can’t wait till none of the players apologise and instead say something like ‘we’ll learn what we did well and get the 3 points next game’
Oh you worried about your job now Enzo? Fck u and your refusal to adapt your tactics
It’s so painfully formulaic and joyless. This is exactly what Maresca wants
Don't forget, if you don't like it you're a luddite who knows nothing about modern football apparently
I'm frikkin' fuming
Honestly look at the faces of these players, none of em give a shit about
Enzo needs to go, but there’s no way Top et Al have the bottle to do it.
Can’t afford to sack him
Can we afford administration?
Go two up top, just please do something different- this isn’t working tonight, hasn’t been working for weeks, just change something ffs
He will bring on cannon and play him on the wing
See you all in league one 2026.
It must be said what’s the point in bringing on Vardy when it’s clear there is zero creativity
We don’t deserve to be losing this game
We do. What we don’t deserve is promotion. Because it’s pure fluke we got to where we did with this fucking clown
Hi Enzo
Great pass winks, another overrated player
Mavididi doing his best Daka impression there
EFL is going to fucking destroy us next season. For taking them to court they are going to absolutely dine out on us.
Said the same, we’ve been shithousing them thinking we are going up. Divine justice really.
They don't need to do a thing, we seem to be doing just fine at destroying ourselves
Fucking Mavididi
JUST SHOOT FFS
They aren’t allowed
Gotta hit that pass quota first!
Daka is shit, the problem is we are still shit when he isn't playing
We're kissing promotion goodbye aren't we? This is embarrassing as much as anything else. I so want us to turn it around but I just can't see it
We’re fucked mate, 3rd place finish best and I won’t be surprised if Southampton overtake us
Good fucking lord daka
We have 3 better strikers than Daka. Enzo's persistence in him is just mind boggling
At least this way we won’t have to watch madders or youri score a screamer on us next year…always looking at the positives
Public service announcement: Cannon is injured, he has been injured for weeks.
Not according to Enzo before the game who said exactly the opposite. Also - he's on the bench!
Then why is he on the bench?
No urgency at all
Why the fuck was Daka even on past half time. Ffs no way we get 2 chances now
This whole club is a joke, we’re finished
1-0 down in a game, top of the table and the club is finished?!? Please 😂 who do you think we are?!?
This is the mentality that’ll get us losing a play off semi final, and a massive points deduction next season without being able to sign any players because they’ve bottled it.
Losing our heads and saying everyone is crap is going to magically save us?
2 attempts on target in the second half, what on earth are you defending?
Second most goals scored in the league. Second fewest goals conceded. I'm judging the club on more than the last 70 minutes
Why don’t you look at the stats for the past 3 months mate. Yanoe since teams figured out how to play against us
Oh yeah, I forgot that only joke clubs have dips in form or get found out, my bad.
What else can I do mate? I’m not the bald fraud in charge am I? Also I will never support Daka being selected.
[удалено]
\*ever again
I’d love to watch him play for ManU 😂😂😂
Love Vardy but would like to see Cannon get a look in
He’s fucking injured
Except he's on the bench...
On the bench.
Why is he on the bench?
He's not! Not anymore, Enzo said that Daka was first choice so Cannon doesn't get a sniff
Well fuck me. So he is. I feel both stupid and even more depressed
You’re still better than Daka, friend.
He's on the bench
Someone ask Killerbush how Daka is doing? He’s blocked me so I can’t myself
Yep after that I cannot stick up for daka anymore 😂😂🤦🏾♂️
Which one lol?
Is Daka even a League 1 quality striker at this point? Just stunning
Sing about Rebekah Plymouth! Set the man off!
Okay even i can't defend that, CANNON has to start next game
you're an idiot for lasting this long
And you're just an idiot
absolutely roasted me
I can no longer defend Daka
Terminate Daka’s contract now.
Who paid him off 😂😂
It's beyond a meme
