Result realistically expected, the real test and all that matters let's be honest here is the next run of away games. Beating Oxford was great to see but means eff all if we balls up and lose away at Stoke.

4 goals is OK. It should have been more now, let's Stoke up the Championship.

Merry Christmas. MOT

Let's see if the next two games are this good

The concern is the away form, Farke's tactics of being cautious away has cost us a lot of points, We are clearly better than the teams around us like Sheffield Sunderland and Burnley, we should be clear of them, but just like last season we are dropping too many points to the poorer teams, nothing Farke says in his press conferences address these issues, we have a manager that can't take advantage of the fact he has the best team in this league, An away draw mentality is Farke's idea of acceptable, no matter who we play, at his press conference Farke said an average of two points a game is good enough for promotion, it wasn't last season and there are no guarantees it will be this season either Farke needs to concentrate on winning every game, but unfortunately for us, he can't do that

He played well but feel ge slows the play down

Great stats but it was only Oxford Leeds need to kick on to the promise land now

It was Oxford c what were like on boxing day

good result even if it was to be expected, at least we did not give away any silly goals. Overall a good 8/10 for me, Thanks Paul.

Nice to see you join us on Max's page. Too many gilt edge chances hit directly at the GK. We made him look good. Solomon having 2 assists and a great goal...and yet the haters persist. Tanaka - so close. Great assist for Piroe for Solomon's goal. For me - Joseph would have caused more trouble than Piroe.

Fantastic win Paul 4.0 clean sheet whole team playing as ONE all playing for the shirt 👕 all smiling 😁 the score would've been bigger there keeper was there man of the match. For me Manor Solomon two assists and scored a goal his best display in a Leeds United shirt 👕 so far this season all four goals good and four different goal scorers 🙏🤩 chuffed to bits Jayden Bogle scored the condition's horrendous 😲 second in the table for Christmas ⛄🎄 and scored the most goals in the division 🙏🙌. Daniel will have to rotate his squad overall feeling positive we just need away form to improve two tricky matches to come hopefully 6 points would love to get 4 points at least fingers 🤞 crossed thanks Paul buzzing like a mad Leeds Bee 🐝 keep fighting we all love Leeds 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙

for me - it'll be 3-0 with a load of missed gilt-edged chances,

I'm predicting 4-0 against them at home! Will be a walk in the park. Tanaka with his first goal too.

Calgary calling pal. We must win this comfortably and add to GD. I don’t like the fact they shoot from distance given our clown in goal but he has to stop letting soft goals in and defence protect him. I’ll be bold 4-1 Merry Christmas from one Paul to another!

Gritty

And yet some fans think Leeds should keep Farke in the premier league, absolutely ridiculous

If we don't beat Oxford it's time to give up

Fingers 🤞 crossed gentlemen we should improve away won 3 drawn 5 lost only 2 if you can't win don't get beat so getting a point away at Preston was valuable for me keep fighting we all love Leeds 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙

Don't think Ampadu is ready to start. Try this with Willy in the middle

Our best 11 in a 4411 is: Meslier Bogle Rodon Wober Schmidt James Tanaka Ampadu Gnonto Ramazani Piroe

The owners aren't prepared to spend nowhere enough money the manager is tactically inept and most of the squad are simply not good enough This team would be cannon fodder in the premier league not that will happen anytime soon

Totally agree with a change needed, at least away from home. We keep getting overrun in midfield and starting too slow. Personally I was thinking 4-3-3 or 3-4-3. Pretty sure Leeds played a 3-4-3 in preseason and it was very fluid; suited the team and wasn't vastly different to the roles we have in the 4-2-3-1. Either way if we get to the Prem next season, Farke will need to use any/all tricks in the book to stay up given the gulf in quality between divisions. Fingers crossed MOT

Any change would be good even if it is only when we are playing away, like i keep saying if you do not try it you do not know, and the change would shock the opposition from the start.

I'm not a Farke out - I'm more of a owners set strong, clear improvement targets (i.e. Away performance). We can criticise the ref, but that won't help us. I would not put Bamford on the field. Solomon/Joseph is a way better combo. Your suggested 3-4-3 may work/May not - but it HAS to be tried

Well prepared session, Paul (that is a perfect presentation in my eyes). Nice job. Can you sent D Farke an invite to this post please? I'd like Guilavogui getting more playtime. Schmidt isn't over the hernia op.

Would love DF to see this and go with a 3-4-3

Hi Paul, I like the idea of changing things away from home, I just don’t see us employing that formation (not that I don’t think it’s a good idea, I just don’t see Farke doing it - he relies on his full backs to provide the width). I do think a 433 with Ampadu, Tanaka and Rothwell in midfield, with 2 wingers and Joseph up front would be the change we could see. 433 would give us the solidity but with enough variation. Ultimately we need to improve away from home and start winning games on the road.

Aaronson definitely needs a rest. Gnonto not putting in the effort of earlier in the season. Agent been in his ear?

Calgary calling pal, I wouldn’t mind seeing that and yes we do need a change with pace and urgency although I do blame Farke. Meslier needs to go and a solid replacement brought in and a quality 9 if we can?

4141 formation

Come over from Just Joe. Subbed and liked.

3 so called strikers on the pitch and rely on an own goal

It is Farke's responsibility to gain promotion, the 49rs gave him the job, they won't be interested in blaming the players If it begins to look like promotion is threatened

The guy cannot play any other way as he’s stubborn and arrogant. Farkeball worked at Norwich but was quickly found out in the premier league. It doesn’t work nowadays especially when the opposition come to attack, but lesser clubs now set up to counter us and frustrate us and invariably take points off us. Unless FARKE makes some tweaks we are not going up again. He wont tweak though….

Defend Farke all you want but three wins in 10 is unacceptable

The ref could have stopped the follow through tackling from the very first tackle

Bamford and joseph chances both the same...joseph totally missed the ball hit a defender ...no difference to bamford but people overlook it because we scored

Bogle waa POOR mate but its about opinions

Like you say Paul Complete defence at fault .but the blame will be pointed at mes again...

Only Dan James had a decent game

The player should've been sent off absolutely shocking tackle just shows the FA run by Dick Turpin and his highway men FFS 😲

Poor display from 1 through to 11. Poor performance, poor in game management. Farke has to do something with this poor away from, players need to stand up and be counted.

Ref definitely had no idea. No time management and no control

Plenty of blame to go round. Aaronson needs to sit for a game or 2, Gnonto is not bouncing back. Need to start Solomon and Ramanzani

Bad ref yes and it turned out to be a poor game for Leeds but as soon as I saw Bamford I knew we were not going to win

Hello 👋 Paul valuable point again we had 18shots 4on target 🎯 8corners most of the play just not clinical enough in front of goal 🥅 especially away it's not Daniel Farkes fault Patrick misses a sitter FFS 😲 Dan James hit 🎯 the bar getting an injury 🤕 time equilizer was good for me the ref and Officials a shambles Preston should've been down to 10 men if that was one of our players doing that tackle he would of been sent off FFS 🤬. We conceded a soft goal in January we need a number 9 and a number 10 just depends what the 49ers 🏈 do.Danial Farke gets my 100 percent backing man of the match never gave up all over the park 🏞️ Manor Solomon was very good when he came on thanks 🙏 Paul keep fighting we all love Leeds marching on together 🦚🇮🇨🤍💛💙

Consistency is the key you don't win promotion or win titles if you can't string three wins together its been obvious all season Our form is up and down like a fiddler's elbow which will inevitably cost us far too many fans are kidding themselves

Heyup Paul, a good point considering the performance. Amongst the players you mentioned, I thought Rothwell was at fault for their goal due to losing the ball then ambling back instead of running.

First things first that was a red card and the ref took no action, we can not play our normal football at a good tempo away from home, and once again we did not take our chances when they came, very frustrated again.

The ref was garbage yes but FARKE picked the team and tactics. We only have Farkeball and any decent coach who can set up a defence makes us look stupid. Same tactics as last season and we have the better players and squad in the league. So why isn’t it Farkes fault? Sick of people sticking up for this guy.we could all see changes needed making at HT, but no he left it late again and actually ended up just throwing strikers on?
