It's not about Piroe playing the 9. Or 10.

It's about Farke figuring out how to get the
most out of him. Because he's the best finisher
at the club. A better tactician would've.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Or maybe there just better players infront of him 🤷🏻‍♂️

^^^

Who can't finish.

How would you play him batty

That's Farke's job to figure out.

I would tell DF to go watch Swansea under Martin.
His use of Piroe netted plenty of goals and a move
to us for JP. Doubt Farke would based on their
history together at Norwich.

Where did Swansea finish in the league playing that way?

Where did we finish in the league when Wood scored 27 goals for us?

Where did we finish in the league when McCormack scored 28 goals for us?

He’s actually got a good record for us, think its about 15 goals in 31ish starts.

What Batty doesnt understand is, modern day football, you need a better all round game to do well.


We’ve all watched him for last 18 months, and lets be honest, he’s barely had a good game.


Zero anything to do with Farke.

Not quick
Touch like a rapist
Cant hold the ball

Anonymous in nearly every game.


Unless someone get 50 goals a season, you cant carry players

Correct me if I'm wrong here but, the winner of any
football match is the one who scores more goals than
the opposition, right?

We, at the moment, can't finish the multitude of
chances we're creating. Keep doing that, and you
allow teams to stick around and take points off you.

That's happened already this season.

Why not figure out a way to get the most clinical
player in our squad more minutes? Why wait until
the 70th minute or 85th? Or have we lowered the
bar and we're now content with top 6?

So what your basically saying is, you no feck all about football.

Pretty sure I'm saying Daniel Farke needs to figure
Joel Piroe out. And the squad use in general.

We already know what he is. See last season.
A better squad (Leicester) were crowned Champions.
A better manager (McKenna) finished runner-up.
And a better tactician (Martin) won the play off final.

The team finished with 90 pts. Yes. However, was
that Farke's doing? Or was it the fact he had the best
starting XI at his disposal? Including the POY, YPOY,
and Rutter doing whatever he pleased?

Farke's limited. Tactically barren. Relies on top talent.
I think his time's come and gone. He can prove me
wrong by figuring out how to employ Piroe better.

And Tanaka.

History says he could get us promoted. Could.
History also says his chances of keeping us up
are slim at best. I'm not convinced he's the best
coach/manager to helm this squad. Or to figure
out how to finish our many chances with what
he has.

"We, at the moment, can't finish the multitude of

Bielsa's set up made it easy for others to take points from us, and his strikers weren't any better than now as far as scoring goes!..

Goals against chances has been a problem for a while now as far as Leeds united go, and the trainer can only put players out there he trusts to do his job, once they're out there its up to them to do what's being asked but there are players there to stop them getting what we think they should be getting!..

Looking at how things were before Farke came in, the only manacoach that's done maybe slightly better for a lot of years is Bielsa!..

I’ve been wanting more life out of my dead balls for years 🤣🤣
