Leeds Utd v Burnley Match Thread

[The Subhuman]

Incredibly underwhelming tbh.
Outside of the Gnonto & Joseph chances there was barely anything of note.
Its hard not to come to the inclusion that Parker out coached Farke today. A bit lucky maybe with the Solomon slip but took the chance which we didnt and got what we deserved

Should have been defended to be fair.... Meslier could have done better too

[SG90]

This.

Until we saw how we coped with the tactics that flummoxed us last season was hard to judge.

Now we've seen it.

Yep and been no change in result. And it'd been the same with Jimmy and Geo, as we saw last season, before the Farke fans use that excuse lol.

Everyone putting the blame on Farke but he didn’t slip?


Marching on together

All credit to Burnley.

They came in with a plan and executed it very well.

We had no answer.
Farke 0-1 Parker

Indeed but Bogles lamentably tortoisely late challenge clearly unsighted Mes

[SG90]

I'm not a big Farke fan but these two statements are contradictory.

Farke can't break down the low block
We created a lot of good chances


The first can't be true if the second is

They were more open before the goal. The Joseph chance came from them overplaying at the back.

Surely it's up to the coach to see the problems on the pitch and then solve them

Farke 0-1 Parker

The plan is the same as everyone else. It's only Farke who can't see it.

I am not disappointed by zis result. Ve dominated ze ball and zis allowed only Burnley to play in our half ferry not often. Mein Kapitan and zat American boy both played ferry good, so I took zem off so they can not be blamed for ze not vinning. I vill not look at ze table until next July. I am looking forward to having a selfie mit Vill Ferrell. A good afternoon, I think.

I think Meslier thought near post and Bogle should have closed down much faster. What the slip did mean was the the likes of Struik etc were wrong footed thinking the ball was coming back into the box. Cost them a few seconds

[Cjay]

I hope he mentions that we got 90 points last season again

Tells us about difficult summers

You must love Leeds getting beat, seems to make your week.

[SG90]

How do we change it same old story, low block breakaway goal. Why do we have such a problem with it.

The way we set up, slow build up play, trying to overplay near the box into a crowded area, same corner taker despite nothing coming from them

[SG90]

Bore off

Taking Amps and Aaronson off seemed to say, I'll cut my losses and rest/save them. Ethan was still up and down like an energizer bunny, Aaronson didn't look tired either.

Goals change games as they say.

Burnley scored and shut up shop.

We could have played till tomorrow and not scored.

The narrowness with no natural 10 to play eye of the needle passes is a glaring issue.

Couldn't believe how narrow we were at times 2nd half.

Even Jesse would have gone "steady on my German bro bit of width yeaaah".

[JoeDenver]

Trafford is levels above Mr Flappy

This was the starkest difference in the match. Pretty equal on the field, but not even close IMHO between the posts.

That was my take too.

[JoeDenver]

Parker is a better manager than Farke despite nobody wanting him but welcoming the German Southgate with open arms.

No excuses.

Burnley are missing about 8 players.

Parker was who I thought would be the right fit when we sacked Marsch as I believe he was on his way out at Anderlecht at the time.

Yep, says it all the only one on one chance came from them trying to overplay at the back, not from breaking down the low block. But Farke still persists with that style.
