Great points. I honestly believe Joseph will come good but I think he needs paired with a proper No 9 in a 3/5/2 formation with Ramazani and James wide in a 5 featuring Rothwell & Tanaka further forward and ONE holding midfielder. Perhaps it’s time to bin the wing backs idea and play a back three including big G and Ampadu in holding role.
If we are gonna change the formation, I think we should go full Gaurdiola, and go with a 3-2-4-1. A 3-2-4-1 would allow us to fully take advantage of our attacking talent on the wings by still starting Gnonto/Solomon and James, and have the ability to move Ramazani and Tanaka into fluid AM positions.
IMHO if we don't buy/loan a cam in jan we have got to go 4.3.3 away from home with Ampadu at the base and Tanaka and Rothwell operating higher up. Pairing that three with the speed of Dj and Ramazani on the flanks would give us a solid and tactically flexible formation that I think would tear any opposition up.
When you think about it the 40 million we got for our 10 rutter was end of the window so no time to replace but no excuses in Jan gotta be a 10 available at a price out there!
Leeds need to stop trying to dominate possession away from home. play a bit deeper and with the players we have the game will open up naturally and give us much more space going forward
Doing a great job, Conner, by speaking your mind and trying to identify solutions, we have potential but Farker isn't motivating the team, same as last season, I'm afraid, it sums it up when Farker brought on the clown Bamford earlier than Joseph, Merry Christmas
With our current squad, I would like to see a 4, 3, 3. back 4 speaks for itself, Tanaka and Ampadu holding with Rothwell in that 8/10 role. Largie and James with Joseph up front. Farke also needs to look at loading the attack later in the game, as he did on Saturday at Deepdale. PNE were knackered and didnt know where to look in the last 15mins.
You have made very good points Connor. I would definitely drop Aaronson and have been saying for months that his energy and press alone is not enough. He has little else in his locker, no composure, he is too lightweight and ends up on his backside too often. I’d play Rothwell further forward when Ampadu is fully fit with Gruev as a back up. I have also been calling for Joseph to start and Piroe to come on with 30 mins to go if we are struggling to put chances away. Interesting thought about Solomon in the No 10 role and we all believe Gnonto could also play there more effectively than Aaronson does. I don’t think Farke will recruit a new goalkeeper because he is stubborn and doesn’t seem to see what we all see. Meslier has proved too much of a weak link too many times now, so whether we manage to sell him or not we need another option in January.
We are a team that works massively on confidence. If we get the first goal. We defend and look for the openings on transitions. We need to play Ramazani in 10 and Joesph. A new keeper is a must!!!
it is amazing... all an opposition manager needs to do to plan for playing us at home is to watch the Blackburn, Preston and our other away games as that will tell him exactly how we will play because he knows, and we know, Farke will use the exact same tactics. There may be an occasional player change up front but it makes no difference. Game management will be the same. Sub process will be the same.
Great content again connor but there's one problem Daniel farke doesn't see it he's got all the answers in front of him and he doesn't know how to utilise it that's what's irritating most of the fan base it will be criminal if we don't get promoted
If that freak bounce doesn’t happen against Sunderland then we would have 1 less Win than Sheff U away from home, and 1 more Draw, the same losses, with an away game in hand… I don’t think it’s time to panic yet. We definitely need to Improve though. We looked strong away from home in the early games (Cardiff, Sheff W, Sunderland), but recently we seem to be struggling
Or Farke plays the same tactics for away games that he uses for home games then we wouldn't need to talk about dropping players although i would drop Aaronson for Guilavogui and push Rothwell further forward with Tanaka.
Fans knock Joseph for his lack of goals but his inclusion creates space for others, space our faster players can run in to. Piroe creates congestion in the middle of the park but of the two is the better finisher. As far as Joseph's goal scoring is concerned, Wilder at SUFC, our main competition, is happy to play Moore, for his hold up and bullying abilities so other players can benefit. Moore isn't prolific. In my opinion Joseph is a far younger better player than Moore. He is still 20yo and far from the finished article. If you look at Leeds past their "MF Generals" in their heydays have nearly always come from converted wingers, Giles, Strachan and Hernandez. Small players with touch and ability on the ball who can pick a pass. Use Solomon, Gnonto or Ramazani, at least as a trial.
Valid opinions which I disagree with but respect. Why tinker with CM (it’s working)? Why play winger in 10 (buy a 10) and why persist with a runner up front who doesn’t do much else. Get a runner who ALSO scores ✌️
Bench Aaronsen and Piroe they are just not good enough, leave the back 4 as it is and go with a 4, 3, 3, Rothwell with Ao and Ampadu then James Gnonto and Largie. Use Soloman and Joseph when needed as subs but NOT 75 mins into the game change it after 60 mins
Same was said last season and we're still in the championship, yes we're second at present but on the last 6 games our form is not good Connor is not panicking just stating the obvious that changes need to be made.
The make up of the squad suggests we gonna struggle away from home.Joseph must start away but the 10 cant be aaronson just cant.Gotta try another player there system..But stubborn Farke WONT change thats why Leeds WONT get promotion..Always overrated by the bookies read and seen the script so many times before😠😠😠
Great points. I honestly believe Joseph will come
good but I think he needs paired with a proper No 9 in a 3/5/2 formation with Ramazani and James wide in a 5 featuring Rothwell & Tanaka further forward and ONE holding midfielder. Perhaps it’s time to bin the wing backs idea and play a back three including big G and Ampadu in holding role.
I really think Darlow deserves his chance. Has looked good for Wales. Give him a start.
drop meslier
Sell him and Marcel Marceau.
@@davidevans9888 agree 100%… if not, then why did we buy him? (In case of injury?)
If we are gonna change the formation, I think we should go full Gaurdiola, and go with a 3-2-4-1.

Before Ramazani got injured, him and Gnonto together were fantastic.
When you think about it the 40 million we got for our 10 rutter was end of the window so no time to replace but no excuses in Jan gotta be a 10 available at a price out there!
Leeds need to stop trying to dominate possession away from home. play a bit deeper and with the players we have the game will open up naturally and give us much more space going forward
Totally agree with this. We have the wingers to counter attack and the midfielders to hit the ideal passes
What we think is immaterial .What Farke thinks matter!
Doing a great job, Conner, by speaking your mind and trying to identify solutions, we have potential but Farker isn't motivating the team, same as last season, I'm afraid, it sums it up when Farker brought on the clown Bamford earlier than Joseph, Merry Christmas

I don’t think Farke will try 4-3-3. Of course he should. Aaronson isn’t the answer to the no.10 issue.
Agree with this
The away form is dreadful and goes back to the end of last season. I remember QPR beating us 4-0.
You have made very good points Connor. I would definitely drop Aaronson and have been saying for months that his energy and press alone is not enough. He has little else in his locker, no composure, he is too lightweight and ends up on his backside too often. I’d play Rothwell further forward when Ampadu is fully fit with Gruev as a back up.

My solution. Change the manager. New manager will use the arsenal that he has to win games by scoring more goals than the opponent. 🤨
Thank you CONOR 👍👌
If there is a chance to sell MESSLIER then we should go for it, especially if it's for a profit 👍👌🙏
I think more minutes for Ramazani, Joseph and Solomon over next few games will make a difference
If that freak bounce doesn’t happen against Sunderland then we would have 1 less Win than Sheff U away from home, and 1 more Draw, the same losses, with an away game in hand… I don’t think it’s time to panic yet. We definitely need to
Improve though.
We looked strong away from home in the early games (Cardiff, Sheff W, Sunderland), but recently we seem to be struggling
God your so tight about the midfield 3 without arranson it's a no brainier ...only farke could struggle with this one
Did you see the goals conceded by under 21s. Keeper and defenders all had a nitemare
😮
one away win and we will have the 3/4 best away record ,thats pretty insane
Play cairns against Oxford farke praised him twice nw and was very good against us in cup last season against Salford
AGREED, SELL MESLIER ASAP
Or Farke plays the same tactics for away games that he uses for home games then we wouldn't need to talk about dropping players although i would drop Aaronson for Guilavogui and push Rothwell further forward with Tanaka.
Great content Connor, but you may as well be pissing in the wind as Farke is stubborn and will not change.
Shame Farke won't be listening
Drop Aaronson 😢

Bro leave out the Joseph talk he ain’t the one, you got Rothwell correct not the young lad he don’t know where the goal is,
Bench Aaronsen and Piroe they are just not good enough, leave the back 4 as it is and go with a 4, 3, 3, Rothwell with Ao and Ampadu then James Gnonto and Largie. Use Soloman and Joseph when needed as subs but NOT 75 mins into the game change it after 60 mins
100% on Meslier sell him Leeds are not going to make the top 6 with him in goal
top 6 ? i will bet my house on that we do
WTF is wrong with Connor ? We are second, have a good squad with a few tweaks we will get better. Just relax a bit.
I’m relaxed mate? This was a post on Twitter that had 250 responses. The away form isn’t good, what do you want me to say? 😂
I heard plenty of this type of message last season too and look where we still are.
Oh dear. Here come the happy clappers. Let’s see where we are at the end of January after 3 away games.
Same was said last season and we're still in the championship, yes we're second at present but on the last 6 games our form is not good Connor is not panicking just stating the obvious that changes need to be made.
defo need a new goalkeeper NOW
The make up of the squad suggests we gonna struggle away from home.Joseph must start away but the 10 cant be aaronson just cant.Gotta try another player there system..But stubborn Farke WONT change thats why Leeds WONT get promotion..Always overrated by the bookies read and seen the script so many times before😠😠😠
1. Get rid of this terrible coach 2.,3.,4., and 5. will fall into place
First 🎉
