I have on going debate with some on here who suggest every game Leeds play its a cup final for every other team - that is tripe.
Leeds lost on Saturday because they didn't play well enough - even their own players suggested as much.
Fans cannot expect the team to play at the same level every game. This is a competitive league and all teams will lose games through the year. Last season was exceptional and Leeds were unlucky to come up against Leicester and Ipswich in the same season.
Farke is not an expansive coach but he does win far more games than he loses and fans can either accept that or not. Much is said of Piroe's inclusion yet Joseph has hardly covered himself in glory when included. At least Piroe does score some goals.
Scoring goals was highlighted at the start of the season as an issue - this team needs 10-15 scoring opportunities to convert a goal. This will continue until Farke changes the way the team develops its attacking strategy.
Much is made of 3 games in 6 days - given the strength and depth of the squad Farke has available Leeds should be better placed than any side in the Championship to cope with this.
Will they get automatic promotion - not unless they find a way to convert the chances on a more regular basis and find a way of changing the approach when away from home.
I think the stumbling block is the wages some of these top players demand. Doubt we could afford Robertson. Be happy if Kevin De Bruyne wants to come for 70k a week
X1 starting GKX1 starting LB (if Farke insists on playing the full backs so high up, the LB will need serious pace and stamina). X1 back up LB if Firpo goes. X1 Left CB (either first choice or Wöber's replacement) X1 right CB backup X2 CM (Rothwell and Gruev replacements) X 1 Left footed winger X 1 10 X 2 strikers (Sell Bamford, loan Joseph)
