It all depends on your definition of playing well Winning is different to playing well. Warning signs galore towards the end of that impressive run which I would say have lasted around 2 months now. I consider that timescale very worrying and perhaps the bottom line is we overperformed and what we ...

They say history is written by the victors, but it is a funny old world when two people can look at the clubs history with managers and write completely different histories... a history that supports their own particular narrative. One uses knives for stabbing the other bandages for healing. I thin...

What would your explanation be for the last 6 weeks or so?

Oh so you simply want to ignore how well they played from Septemeber onwards, the fact that we were the best team from October onwards and just judge them on the last few weeks?

I'm glad you bought this up. Pressure, think Warnock mentioned it, possibly Allardyce as well. Phil mentioned it in his articles and possibly even his book. The pressure of managing LUFC is unlike practically any other club. It's been hard enough for promotion specialists like Warnock, even Javi Gr...

Sorry Weasel but for some reason you've attached yourself to this manager and are just happy to make excuses for him which you'd have never done for anyone else bar Bielsa. Why does his difficult summer now extend till the end of September? That's a new one, most people had happily accepted August ...

Despite our awful last few matches we have picked up more points than both Ipswich and Leicester since the end of October. Our results were pretty damn incredible for a long time yet many seem to think they are justified in slagging off all our players. Go farke yerselves!

Farke was literally going to play him on the right as he thought he could be his Buendia clone. Did all the way until September. Only shifted him because Sinisterra left and he refused to play Gnonto for more than 5 minutes. Oh hang the manager for planning one thing and changing it when one player...

Shows how fans sometimes don't actual notice changes in tactics yet bleat on about changing tactics.

Everyone commenting on that photo you do realise it was a few seconds after a corner kick had been sent in so we weren't in a position where players were in their usual places on the pitch? The ball got half cleared then played back in. Yes we should have picked the guys up but it wasn't like it was...

This song was performed by the Leeds fans who want to see Marsch return.

Yet all our tactical genii on here seem to think we only play one way, cry out to play a different way, plan b etc. Trying a different way to try to combat an opposition is usually foolhardy especially when you hav a team that is well drilled in a certain way of playing.

Cool yeah I agree, let's take our left winger who has scored 20 goals there and put him on the right wing. I bow down to the tactical acumen.

For me it’s got nothing to do with pre and early season predictions, todays disappointment is based upon our catastrophic decline over the past handful of games. Maybe we flattered to deceive, but who, in March, foresaw this dramatic drop off in performance, and the lack of a cohesive plan to remed...

Everyone talks about what Bielsa did and rightly so but I think the bar just got raised somewhat. Yes they may get walloped next year and you never know we could be one of the wallopers It will be interesting to see how he does next season as it is hard to judge him fully yet. He has done a superb ...

He was one of very very few to turn up today. Taken a ton of stick, some fair some not. But he did it all today. Created the most chances on the pitch. Scored our only goal. Used the ball intelligently and linked play and held up the ball. Not to mention won most of his individual battles and even ...

Yep unfortunately we finished the season in a similar fashion to the way we started it and that's why the Championship is such a slog over 46 games. Bonus potential extra 3 weeks to come now as well. Also maybe a reminder to all those fans predicting over 100 points that the Championship is the har...

Without any eyes I wouldn't see very much,

Our record vs our playoff rivals is Played 6 Won 2 Lost 3 Drawn 1. 1.16ppg Southampton. Played 6 4 wins 2 draws. 2.33 What's done for Southampton was the performances vs Leicester and Ipswich they actually have a slightly better record vs the rest of the top half than we do. And worryingly for us f...

Perfectly capable of doing it, think a more skillful Dan James.

He is a one trick pony. Put him on the right and he is a no trick pony.

That is it. We are worse off than 1 season ago. The boat has sailed, people are saying it took time for Bielsa, and Farke did it before using time. They don't get it. We are losing the players who dragged us up the table, and don't have money to replace them. The ones who failed us in the prem are ...
