But he is complaining about the window. And he can’t complain about lack of attacking quality when he is consistently playing Aaronson over James or Gnonto (I accept they are coming back from injury but bother have been in training for weeks) #lufc
DF: "If you judge objective data, we were in six games the better side, but without the points. More individual quality, means moments like Rogers's on Sunday or a perfect tackle. I said what we needed in the summer to be competitive. I said I will not complain once about the window." #lufc

There would have been outcry among #lufc fans had the 49ers replaced Farke with Dyche in the summer… funny old game…

This better work for Farke otherwise it’s going to get very toxic at ER.

Subbing a sub in Tanaka and leaving the pantomime villain in Aaronson on the pitch is asking for trouble…
Tanaka, who only came on in the first half himself, is off for Calvert-Lewin and Nmecha is off for James in the 71st minute. Farke takes a moment to explain it to a disconsolate Tanaka. #lufc

Turns out the real reason Paixao didn’t come to Leeds in the summer was because someone tipped him off that under Farke he’d spend the season sitting on the bench watching Aaronson squander every attacking opportunity… #lufc

I’m still wondering the answer to this question…? #lufc
What’s going to happen first - Farke drops Aaronson or Farke gets sacked?

Feels like the Leicester City loss in the 22/23 season under Marsch. Seems inevitable we go down if we stick with Farke.

He did a great job of stabilising the ship the summer we went down.

Last season was incredible.

But I think it’s time sadly #lufc

Eurgh. If we win and Burnley win we’ll be 7 points clear of the relegation zone going into the international break.

If we lose and Burnley lose then we’ll be 1 point off the drop and 2 points from 19th 😬😬😬

We'll be recording our review tonight. Any questions for us? #LUFC

Where’s Gnonto???

If he’s fit and Farke doesn’t consider him in his top 20 he needs to give his head a wobble…

So close to what I think our best XI is!!!

Hoping for a Bijol thunderbolt header early doors to mark his home debut with a goal!

Tonight is my first trip to ER this season! Refuse to have head loss yet… Great opportunity to bounce back with three points - really hoping the lads step it up. #MOT #ALAW #LUFC

Well whatever happens in this second half, we’re not gonna be last on MOTD! #lufc

These things can all be true at once:

1. We played well and were very unlucky to not get a good point on the road
2. We don’t have enough goal threat
3. Farke has done a good job so far
4. Sticking with Farke is a risk
5. There may not be a gettable manager upgrade available

Leeds analysts - we need big players and target set pieces.

Don’t sign a set piece taker

Only team in the league with no set piece coach

1 goal in 4 games (a penalty)

I’m worried #lufc

Leeds that 👇
Gabriel Gudmundsson has scored just the second 90th minute own goal in a 1-0 game in Premier League history, and the first for thirty years. #lufc
September 13, 2025 at 4:06 PM
Scored 1 goal in 4 games (a penalty)

Doesn’t matter how good at the back we are if we have zero threat up front.

Leaving Gnonto on the bench was daft. Only playing him when forced to because of a DJ injury is criminal.

Also - not signing a set piece taker is gonna cost us so many points

Farke asks for more attackers before the window closes…

Starts Aaronson at RW first game back 🤦🏼‍♂️

If it works, great. But he’s frozen out Ramazani and underplayed Gnonto. Patience is thin… we need threat on the pitch, not on the bench! #lufc

The legends who fed the @thesquareball.net charity walkers this summer have had their van nicked from outside their house. Keep your eyes out please, it's incredibly distinctive and obviously means the world to them.

Hard to disagree with any of this…

Waited too long for Muniz, Paixao and Buonanotte.

Didn’t have enough time to secure our back up options.

Led up the garden path by Fulham twice.

Given the early business I thought the Blunderwood charge was harsh but we just don’t have enough in attack…
