Re: Whats gone wrong
We changed our style.
We launch the ball at Lasogga, not his game, hence lack of touches.
Lasogga perhaps needs to move more but Lonners firing the ball at him isnt helping.
Considering his lack of touches his goals and assists are more impressive.
Take out Lonners, for all Weidwalds flapping he suited our style . . Take out Cooper who has an obsession with playing long diagonal balls towards nobody. Bring in Shaunie who can actually pass.
Take out O'Kane, put in Klich who showed he can pass against Burnley and retain posession.
Take out Ayling bring in Berardi at right back. Stick cbj at left back, he is our only natural lb and has done well at times.
Instruct the back 4 and goalie to not play long balls unless a last resort (under intense pressure).
Tell Saiz to make it 3 in the middle if we are struggling to pass out to give us an extra man.
Hernandez on the left with instructions to swap with Saiz when they feel like it. Whoever is number ten covers for Vieira, Vieira covers for anyone out of position thats his job.
Alioski instructed to stay wide, we are narrow on the left so Ali has to stay wide to give us some width.
Berardi wont leave Shaunie as exposed as Ayling would and Jansson can help Cbj.
If Hernandez wont track back properly he gets pulled for Dallas and dropped for the next game.
Easy this tactics lark

All makes common-sense to me
Are you inferring TC is getting it terribly wrong ?

Drives me mad, I'm not an aggressive/violent man but I just want to hit him every time he plays that predictable pass

I remember him basically saying after a game "i told them to stop going long".
I'm sure he has told the defence to pass out and the goalie to do it, evidently Lonners doesnt, because that isnt his game. He is an average at best championship goalie, he will make a save but dont ask anymore of him because he cant do it.
Cooper is crap, but if TC plays Shaunie and it goes tits up then he will be slaughterd for playing Shaunie over the more experienced figure.
Think TC needs to be braver, he isnt stupid, im sure he can see the issues we all can. The Ayling issue, Cooper, O'Kane etc, TC needs to be brave enough to say "yes you are experienced players, but you are in poor form and you wont be starting today". Then play the players that fit into his principles, the style he wants. Even if the fans hate it, he needs to find a way to get us playing the sort of football sky highlighted again. The Coopers and the Lonners arent those sort of players,(which im sure TC knows) so drop them.
For me though, and pains me to say it but the day he brought Lonners in was the day it all collapsed. Up until that point we had been ok, not perfect, but we had only lost 3 in 11. Played 11, won 6, drawn 2, lost 3, scored 18, conceded 11. With Lonners- Played 5, won 1, lost 4, scored 6, conceded 8.
Wiedwald has struggled, but with him in the side we at least looked a threat when we did get a chance to attack. With Lonners we look toothless going forward and not any better at the back.

What's gone wrong at Elland Road?
Well first Leeds got banned from European football for a number of years which led to an inability to attract the better players, and a slow but steady decline resulting in relegation to the Second Division.
After many years of less that competent performances, things seemed to have turned around with the appointment of Howard Wilkinson who led Leeds back to the First Division and a title before losing his mind (and later his job), and selling Eric Cantona to Man Utd for what turned out to be the equivalent of a five-pound voucher for Iceland.
More ordinariness followed including a spell under George Graham during which goals were as rare as honesty in politics and equal to the amount of UK taxes paid by multinational companies running who businesses in the UK.
Again thing seemed to turn the corner when DoL's babies had a good spell of success, but thanks his apparent need to buy players just for the sake of it and Chairman Ridsdale borrowing more money than the US government debt, Leeds went bankrupt. sold everyone - except for Gary Kelly and Kevin Blackwell - and got relegated again.
Worse was to follow when ex-Chelsea crook Bates took over, and claimed that if you want to be in the Premiership you have to charge Premiership ticket prices. Bates proved to be almost true to his word by guiding Leeds out of the Championship...and into League One and bankruptcy.
Another short period of respite followed, followed again by the Club selling all it's best players and then the incompetency of GFH and the Madness of King Massimo (potential sequel to the similarly named movie there).
The came another upswing as Monk took us within inches of promotion, only for the club to shoot itself in the foot (inches, foot - get it? ) by losing Monk, again selling its better players and again brining in a virtually new squad rather than simply building on the previous squad that had been so close to success.
And so we entered another rebuilding phase (AKA an excuse for failure) which started well enough, before the downs of our 'up and downs' came to the for again.
We eagerly await what will happen next.
