"Sober looking awful"
Shouldn´t have been sober then...

Sorry, I just couldn´t resist

Bamford an absolute joke.

We’ve sold three players that probably would not have started tonight and certainly wouldn’t have changed the game.

As you say - too many changes but to me it felt like some of those on the pitch just couldn’t be bothered.

Worrying.

I'm of the opinion Farke has one more game. The vibe around the team is very negative and low on morale and that was reflected tonight and most of the tail end of last season and that ultimately falls on the manager and I reckon the owners will be lining up a replacement early next week if as I now expect WBA to easily bully us and beat us so as to give the new boss a decent chunk of the transfer window to stamp his mark on the team.

Cant remember us having a front three as slow as tonight's which puts us on the back foot from the start, need to get some pace in as apart from James we have none, all tonight has done has hopefully shown the powers that be we need to strengthen,

Farke has no idea how to turn this team into a threatening attacking force. WITH end product.

Defence is like an open highway.

New ideas needed ASAP

a loanee it is then.....

I don’t know what’s up with Rodon? He’s been woeful so far. I hope he doesn’t turn into another Michalik, e.g. awesome whilst on loan, woeful when made permanent. Hopefully, just a blip.

This.

Tonight might be a blessing in disguise

Poor signings, compared to what we sold.

So at the moment we’re a far weaker side than last season and clock is ticking/losing ground and any momentum needed from the off

This comes back to what I said on another friend. When do you ever see this guy take ownership for a defeat?

Unfortunately even a man with the aura and experience of Bielsa had his struggles at Leeds United but will of course be remembered fondly as a cult hero/legend so sadly it looks like Farke has succumbed to the weight of expectations and buckled under the pressure that can
make you look clueless.

He may become a better manager for this experience as Paul Hegginbottom walked away from Leeds to get Shef Utd promoted not long after and maybe Farke will do similar at a club with less pressure.

Leeds needs a heavyweight in handling pressure and so for me I'm more inclined to think a man like David Moyex would not buckle so easily and if he can be persuaded he'd be a good fit. Not a swashbuckling style of play we'd see but an effective style that will get us promoted and established in the EPL.

He has already done that. Twice, if I recall correctly

Defending Bamford at this stage is pathetic.

Bamford is now officially a non-factor.

At least I won't have to hear "But we play better
when Bamford starts" my ar$e. He's done as
a Championship forward. But not done milking
the club.

That said. Holy sh 1 t are we in trouble.

Wober. Good God. He's either play to not get
hurt in order to get his move to Germany. Or
he really is that sh 1 t. I've defended him. And
I truly hoped he would offer something. Ha.
Not a fcking chance. I'll drive him back to Germany.

Farke. Oh dear me. Just shocking. He either hasn't
learned anything from last season. Or he's too
dumb to realize there's an issue. Mainly him.

This defeat and run of pisz poor games are squarely
on his shoulders. Yes, some truly dire performances
tonight and prior. However, the buck stops with him.

Once again, I agree with LIW (fck me this is bad),
sack him tonight if possible.

Gnonto and Bamford straight down the tunnel

Oh really I didn't know that thanks for pointing that out
for me Loudis me old mate 😂....Seriously my point was Farke despite his previous achievements at a club with less pressure Leeds has reduced him to looking utterly clueless like I think it did with Paul Heckinbottom but he recovered and got a promotion to add to his managerial CV and I think it's possible Farke can do likewise and okay I'll spell it out get a third promotion to his name at a club with less pressure.

Gnonto ran across and gave his shirt to a kid then went straight down tunnel. Bamford was with the main group very briefly before heading down the tunnel. Neither player clapped the fans

Plus look how well Bielsa has done in his next job after his Leeds United experience. Jesse Marsch on the other hand???

Saw a chicken earlier running around like a headless Bamford!
