The truth is, Southampton were better than us three times. Both Leicester & the Saints didn't have as much squad upheaval as Leeds. The foxes basically came down to the Championship with a Premier League team. And Ipswich exceeded all expectations, achieving promotion. The Tractor boys also ...

Unexpected

Got to be pushing 50

Farke didn't have faith for them. That doesn't mean they're bad players and won't succeed in a different set up and environment. But the big difference this year is that Farke has players he trusts. Not just "good" players, but the right players. That's the point I was making. People say its a ...

Joffy is an unfortunate combination of mismanagement and little injuries at the wrong time. He's had several chances to play a bigger role over the past 15 months. But he just seems to pick up the little niggles at the wrong time. He was badly mismanaged by Marsch. After his contributions to the ...

Better squad this season: Full back: Last season Byram was the only back up on both sides. This season we have more options Center back: We have Max Wober, an experienced Austrian international, vs Cooper or Cresswell Midfield: Our 2 starting CM's from last season have been out for weeks with ...

Willy struggled with his form early season, probably brought on by his immature strike antics. Started 19 games & coming off the bench 17 times, found his form after Xmas. Joseph wasn't ready, Mateo is struggling now! Roberts picked-up an injury playing for Wales & never really got going in his ...

Farke didn't trust last season's subs, he gave them a chance to shine at Stoke & they failed miserably. Some players don't suit certain teams or fit the system. Apart from Anthony, who else of any quality Farke didn't used off the bench? Players like Gnonto and Joseph who people love now. Conor ...

Rodon, Struijk & possibly Ampadu are all better than Charlie. At least four Leeds coaches didn't fancy him. Agree to disagree, as a pure defender I'd say very little difference between them. Cresswell ranks really high in France for the defensive data Only really Farke had an opportunity to use CC ...

Gnonto & James have scored more goals & made more assists than Anthony. Even Ramazani beat Anthony with goals/assists on limited game time. Soloman only one assist fewer than Anthony. This obsession with Jaidon Anthony needs to stop. Missing my point. I wouldn't swap Anthony for Ramazani, Gnonto or ...

Farke's here - Team news Busy week. Third game in seven days. Early kick-off. Some late decisions. Those who played 90 on Tuesday have only had recovery sessions. This afternoon will be a proper session, and we will make decisions there. Several players with knocks and question marks. Wober, busy ...

There are some contradictions here. We dominate a game and lose. I cannot recall any posts - post match where you highlight we were unlucky etc. Your analysis is in the main critical of Farke’s tactics and / or certain players. Results in a significant amounts of games are often down to fine m ...

No issue with what Carrick said, they has the pen call, a few situations they didn't make the best from and Meslier made a few good saves so he isn't wrong really.

I don't think the squad is better no.

Dunno how you can watch that and not see a Doak clone.... The trouble with giving players 10 minutes is they invariably try too hard and fail, especially when young. A little easier with experience. Sunderland were forced to play him as a striker/target man, not his position but he did his duty ...

Has Gelhardt played for England and scored 16 goals in a PL season. If so then yes he probably deserves a chance :) He does have 4 assists and 2 goals in just 938 Premier League minutes which is a better ratio than Bamford and infact is only slightly worse than Bamford in the Championship. Think ...

19 for me.

Quite good on a logo apparently

She's brilliant.

Compare her to many interviewers who can barely muster English

Hated him as a player.

But he's very good on stuff like this
