You watched Mr. Burton
Good, wasn't it. He got Richard just right. @brynlaw.bsky.social reminds me of him a lot.

I'm informed Tanaka was subbed because he was very close to 2 yellows

Thanks. Makes much more sense

The reason Tanaka was substituted was nothing to do with football. The fourth official warned Farke that the next foul by Tanaka, Tanaka would be sent off. It’s nothing to do with other players

Ah, I stand corrected. If felt like we were losing.

Yep. He's not the cause. He's been circumvented imho.
Nor is he, I fear, the solution.
Whose fault is irrelevant now. The problem is identifiable. We're easy to beat and winning is proving almost impossible.

Mmm... The free kick. We've done that before. James Gnonto. Tanaka sub. Waiting until we're losing before subs. It's the repetition of mistakes to justify the infallible. Happened with Bielsa.
It never ends well. Yes, players did well but there's a vulture on the crossbar.

I continue. I think it's pretty fair and accurate.

It's all very risk averse driven and then he gives the ball away. Second touch is a tackle. He's not terrible but his greeting so much football is a damming indictment.

Missed the joke there.

You've changed your tune. Farke fanboy and a bad result and it's Farke out! :)

Is that the flank we concede too much on?

Free kick goal was a joke. All wrong

Some good players
