He'll likely replace as like for like as he can. Think Tanaka and Gruev will be starters

I don't think he is tbh. I know you want to think the worst of him, but he really is a decent guy. Not a good enough manager for the epl, but that is a different point.

Definitely, Bielsa was something else and brilliant. In defence of Farke, you do need some quality in the epl. Notwithstanding better tactics and flexibility are needed to overcome those deficiencies at least to some point. We have regressed in that respect this season.

I agree, 100%, but the point is those tactics are only fulfilled by that level of fitness. The top athletes in the team coped, others not so well. A different tactician may have solutions that were not as demanding, physically

Undoubtedly they were lifted levels above where they were as players, but I'm speaking about their physical decline, which started in Bielsa's final season.

We didn't. It was 1-2.

There are always levels in the game, perhaps if we were a decent mid table outfit or at top the of championship he'd get some game time. Not so easy in a relegation scrap.

Feel similar. Bamford and Cooper other players that were unable to get that level of fitness and physicality post Bielsa. It must have been hard!

Quite, a different issue that gets the heart of whether Farke is the right man for this particular job of survival.

Part of the same issue, quality and strength in depth lacking

I was using those as an example of where Farke said we were short of attacking players. We didn't land key positions in August, unfortunately

Maybe, but he is not proven in the epl... whereas for example Wilson from Fulham would definitely improve our team.

Made it clear we were short of attacking players. Failed to land at least one of Bounanotte, El Khannouss, Wilson at the end of the window

Cos we failed to bring in quality in positions he wanted. At the start of the season Farke said 'we are not ready for te EPL offensively' unfortunately that didn't improve enough. Missed pivotal signings at the end of the window. Notwithstanding, his team selection, in-game management has been poor.

These are exceptions and both coverted and were developing players. We need epl ready players for the here and now.

That is our issue, we need to shop at the higher level, we need epl ready experience

He'd be interesting and may be a great choice, but do we need some real epl experience? We lack that

I agree, injuries have been a problem too, but Farke hasn't helped himself and we look like a manager change will be required to give this squad a chance. Jan window alone may noy yield enough.

I do like him, but as we have seen. The difference between the championship and epl suggests we need to shop at a higher level.

Longstaff is decent, we needed more of that. With Perri we'd have expected better performances than we have got so far. The 2 other promoted teams landed better and far cheaper options. The team lacks the key differences maker

Or do what Sunderland did and pay for a player like Xhaka and get an excellent, ridiculously cheap keeper, who is bound for a champions league team. We are definitely short on quality, at whatever price point.

Agree. Look at the impact Xhaka has had at Sunderland. They are probably going to start to struggle, but maybe they have done enough to build on and survive.

As a specialist for that league, Farke was the stand out and proved it again. We know his short comings, but as a Championship Manager he worked. Record breaking season in almost every aspect. There's no question that he delivered last season. The issue now needs a different response.
