The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 16th April)

Good Morning. It's Tuesday 16th April, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

Why no 'B' plan

When Leeds have been playing well, they've been unstoppable, and have motored through their competition like a hot knife through butter, but what happens when they falter?

With one win in five, and games running out fast, it seems Daniel Farke has run out of ideas and Leeds out of steam. The petrol light is desperately flashing, yet nobody thought of filling up the tank in January when given the opportunity.

To think they could breeze through the season, with just three loanee's is massively short sighted, especially as they are still recovering from losing 12 first team players who temporarily exited Elland Road last Summer!

To say Leeds are predictable is an understatement. Set-pieces and aerial supremacy are a long way down on Leeds agenda, and without any target men to hold the ball up, or cause havoc from corners, their options are extremely limited.

The club failed to prepare for relegation last season, and quite obviously have approached this campaign in the same nonchalant manner! Why don't they learn by their mistakes?

Should Farke stay if Leeds miss out on promotion

Only so much blame can be attributed to the International Break, as Leeds look to recover from their sudden loss of form!

Five points from a possible twelve have severely dented Leeds automatic promotion hopes, and Daniel Farke must take his share of the blame. Team selection and substitutions have come in for criticism in recent times, as has his teams set play routines.

Farke has a fantastic reputation for getting out of the Championship, but as things stand, if Leeds do manage it, it will be the hard route! If they fail, should they stick with Farke, knowing that the majority of their better players will depart in the Summer?

WE NEVER LEARN...... it's the Leeds way innit ..... got to be a special kind of person to support the whites .... take special how you want to ......

 

Afternoon all,
News from Spain, an unnamed PL club are willing to pay 60m€ for Raphinha this summer,
Seems that skint barca want 80m€.

 

Wish we were as skint as Barca and in a cl quarter final

 

Careful what you wish for.... PR Pete managed that

 

Bet they’ll never implode like we did though. Always sees to be someone to bail them out

 

It was easy to predict, the first team to Defeat our heroes on that great run was Sunderland, they played 5 at the back and hit the opposition on the break. Over the International brake, Farke had plenty of time to put it right by playing against a 5 man defence in training but failed to do so. Teams saw this as a way to do it and cottend on quick if they can we can. And so park the bus was seen as a way to do it. Without training for it, and to find solutions to overcome it, inevitability catches up, so from unbeatable, the record the last 5 is getting ****.

 

3 tough games to go and we will probably go win em all 3-0 that's how stupid things can go. might sound stupid but id rather go to Boro right now who will have a go rather than play against a lower team who parks the bus.

 

So tonight. Soton v Preston?

A home defeat or draw and Soton possibly have no incentive against Leicester next week.

A home win and the feckers are getting a bit too close to us.

 

Do you want Saints to win tonight.
I can't decide. A win would keep them keen, but do we want that ?
Arrrrgggggghhhh !

 

****. Southampton 3 up already.

 

Southampton coming back into form to either sneak a top two or be the team nobody wants to face in the playoffs

If and it’s a huge IF we win our next two, I feel we’ll be facing Southampton whilst in the top two.

Could end up being Ipswich needing us to win against them. That would be a shock, Leeds and Southampton in the autos.

We basically need to win our next two games to make it very interesting

 

Would be interesting results on Saturday. Saints 1 or 2 pts behind Leicester going into their meeting with each other.

Leicester going to spoil it

 

The doom mongering is amazing. Bielsa failed to get us up in his first season. We kept the faith. Even if its 'Farke Off', who would replace him?

 

Frank Lampard ?

 

Is that special or speshull?

 

He didn't have a team to train with. We had too many on International duty to even think about it.

 

Well as I said take it any way you like
I've a feeling both could apply
