@berencross.bsky.social any word on Farke? Are the club able to provide any explanation as to why they think he can still keep us up? Certainly no evidence on the pitch

What a response. Great performance and a huge 3 points.
Gives us a bit of breathing room before 2 tough home fixtures. Anything from those before the next break would be very welcome.

Gutted with the last min OG on Saturday. Would’ve been a great away point.
Next week is an important one against Wolves, undeniably one of the biggest chances we’ll get for 3 points away from home.
I don’t mind the defence first approach but we need to start our best forwards (i.e. Gnonto).

When will Arsenal fans get tired of Artetas gimmicks and failing to win trophies? What’s that, 1 FA Cup in his 6 seasons which came 6 months after he joined?

You might say inspired subs, but Arteta wouldn't. He has taken from rugby and whatsapp groups with leaders from different sports, and describes them as "finishers"
It might be an key way to manage a huge squad, and showed a crucial difference to Athletic

Big stretch of games coming up. Arguably our best run of 8 games of the season between now and the Nov break.
We need to have racked up some decent points by the end of that Forest game or it could be a prime time to change coach.
Hopefully Farke can do it but Nuno is available if not…

Incidentally, if all our transfers had been announced at once rather than drip fed throughout the summer, how would Leeds fans feel?
Personally if it wasn’t for the late window messages from Farke and the board about bringing in attacking resource, I would be quite content with our window.

If you list our signings alongside the equivalent player they replaced from last seasons squad, it’s hard to deny we’ve improved the squad massively this summer.
The frustration comes from not upgrading the wingers & failing to sign a creative midfielder after Farke effectively demanded it.

Fantastic set of results for us tonight.
Tomorrow presents a massive opportunity to go 4 points clear with 9 games to go (and the other two still to play eachother).
These are the moments you need to take if you’re serious about being promoted. Let’s do it!

1 defeat in 18 league games is no reason to panic. Especially when we’re top.
If we slip up tomorrow night then something does need to be looked at.
A little refresh in the starting XI (Rothwell in for Gruev, *somebody* in for Aaronson) and we’ll be firing again tomorrow night.

I think we’d be just about fine without any incomings but for a team so dominant in the league, we are quite weak at CF and 10.
If we could address either of those with a solid proven Championship option, it would take the load off Piroe and Aaronson who seem to be really struggling of late #LUFC

Not enjoying the personal attack on Mesliers character by a lot of fans.
Criticise his performance, call for a change, say whatever you want about his footballing ability but it’s not right to attack him as a person. The kid seems genuinely nice & obviously not trying to do this. Be better

Too many players below par today but definitely a game we should’ve won.
Blowing a 3-1 lead on 80 mins is inexcusable and unfortunately it’s all down to one player. Don’t want to see abuse online aimed at him but it’s absolutely fair for fans to demand rotation at GK, if not a new signing

Wober, Piroe and Aaronson were absolutely diabolical in that half.
We did, however, create a few fairly decent opportunities through Solomon and Bogle. Need a big improvement second half to win but it’s definitely doable. Please act before 70 mins 🙏

Think todays game could be a real test. New manager for them has mixed results so far but he’s kept the games to low scores recently and beat a stubborn Blackburn side 1-0.
Confident our lads will get the job done but I’m not expecting a walk in the park.

He's done a really fantastic job since joining last summer. We've consistently played at a high level & results are as good as anyone who's been in charge of our club.
The criticism he gets is absolutely insane. I was as gutted as anyone at Wembley in May but this season we've been fantastic

His clean sheets per game ratio of 0.46 is the best by any single manager head coach across the club’s history (+10 matches) 👉 www.lufcdata.com/managers
