Herman 9,717 Posted August 25, 2018 [quote user="The Great Mass Debater"]Anyone else thinking Farke is another busted flush? Think his methods just dont work. Maybe in junior football...[/quote]To be fair today was going to be a tough game, Leeds will be aiming for the top this season, but I have been slowly losing confidence in him. The last season he deserved a fair crack of the whip, what with all the changes, but he needs to start showing some progress, which I have barely seen.Ho hum. 45 minutes more of hiding behind the sofa.

We could play 3 at the back (with Marshall at wing back) which would negate the issue slightly but the problem would still be there.Let''s hope for a change of fortune in the second half.OTBC!

The Great Mass Debater 1,078 Posted August 25, 2018 Hughton-ball never worked for us, and never looked like working for us. Slow ponderous play, inverted wingers, never felt or looked effective, never knew how it was supposed to work.I feel the same about Farke''s football. Being able to have 70% possession is good, but it doesnt stop the opposition scoring and doesnt seem to help us do it either. I dont understand how Farke''s football is supposed to be effective. We relied too heavily on Maddison''s individual ability last season. We seemed to succeed when we did despite Farke''s methods, not because of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted August 25, 2018 Shots blocked by an outfield player are NOT counted as shots on target, unless the blocking player is the last man, i.e. a goal-line clearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
