I think if there's one thing in Leeds discourse that winds me up to no end is "trust the manager" "the manager knows best" to shut down arguments they don't like and every time if you take a quick scroll of their timeline you'll see them criticising something 😂couldn't write it

Really baffles me how some people are willing to defend a wealthy club employee who won't think twice about Leeds after he leaves to that extent. Almost sycophantic.

The reaction to that press conference today will separate the intelligent people from the sycophantic panting dogs who lap up whatever the manager feeds to them

“Needs to add physicality, improve decision making and finishing”
DF on Bahoya: We don’t expect an immediate impact but we believe in him, top character and great to work with. We’re willing to give him a spot. He needs to add physicality, improve decision-making and finishing, if he improves during the season he can compete for minutes. #LUFC

Farke talking absolute horseshit on Bahoya, and people are lapping it up as per. Almost every point he made about Bahoya is contradicted by his continued use of Aaronson.

Only seen a tiny bit of it so far, but the longer this goes on, the more “he must be crap” / “he can’t be that good in training” / “the manager knows more than we do” responses will take hold. Inevitable but a load of crap and it’s important to push back on it when they do occur
5 minutes in 7 games for #LUFC winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya.

Sky know exactly what they're doing here by clipping up this exact snippet as they know it'll get good engagement. Not really the best way to handle someone who's clearly just very awkward on camera!

Genuinely just seen someone say they'd be happy with finishing 17th

Not having this stick Bijol has been receiving, aside from one or two dodgy moments today which the wind certainly didn't aid, he was good and defended our box well. Think it's a result of that, his slightly dodgy time against Chelsea and shiny new toy Elvedi doing well.

The good thing is even when we're shit we rarely lose but we really are a tough watch at times aren't we, 'Elland Road under the lights' aside

As much as people like to fantasise about Europe and how it's 'the best opportunity we've had in years', the truth is we'll never be more than a mid-table side for as long as Farke continues to be risk averse. If we're drawing with 20 minutes left, he cares more about protecting.

For people in the quotes, 90% of the time when Farke says 'doubtful' they end up playing!
DF: "All offensive players are doubtful, Calvert-Lewin is struggling with a bruise on his foot. Still a question mark behind his availability. "Stach has a foot problem, and Okafor has some adductor problems. If game was today, nonne would play" #lufc leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds…

I've never really understood even knowledgable people telling me that DCL is a poor finisher. If you give him the chances he thrives on in the penalty area as we do he's going to get you goals
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored 20 goals for Leeds in just 48 appearances, the quickest player to score 20 goals for the club as a Premier League side since Mark Viduka in 2000-01 (20 in 43 games). #lufc

Does bemuse me a little the way people are talking about us. Are we a decent team? Yes. Hard to play against? Yes. Are we anything special and will challenge for anything? Probably not. And that's okay. We should absolutely not be spoken about in the same breath as Brighton lol.

As much as there are parts to his management that I don't like and think he could improve on, it's hard to doubt that he's doing a good job and will deliver solid seasons. I think we may see the limit of that this year but the club will be satisfied with that as ER gets expanded.
It looks like Daniel Farke won't be leaving Leeds United anytime soon ❌ The Leeds boss is in the final year of his current contract, but the club are "working on" a new deal.

I know the KO time doesn't help but I really hope we can generate a good atmosphere on Sunday. Feels like every time we've played them at home this decade it's been pretty flat apart from that 5 minute spell under Bielsa where we came back from 2 down.
