Who would be caretaker manager? A single point form the next three would be an achievement but it doesn't really get easier after that.

Well that is the problem, the time for a change was after Forest if they had doubts. A change now will take time, in fact more likely to be a fiasco if the board have not planned properly. There is no point getting an interim in charge from the back room staff which would be left if Farke departs.

Very poor return from our set pieces.

I disagree, let the new manager get his ethos across early. This squad lacks quality but it has more than enough to stay up. It is better than what Bielsa had, that’s for certain and is not as bad as some presume. What we have is a manager who does not know how to remedy games when we are under the cosh.

Yer ,suppose fair point if you are not expecting anything from those matches just go for it

[Tyzy]

What is really frustrating for me is all the hard work and slog of the Championship to then just f**k it up

[Broad Ford]

Never looked like claiming three points today and one fortuitious first half goal was never going to be enough.

The warning signs were evident late into the first half signalling changes at half time.

[The Subhuman]

We don't have the quality of Raphinha, Klich, Rodrigo etc that Bielsa had.

Very poor return from our set pieces.

Did you see the Villa player go straight over to their set piece coach just after their free kick goal....and Farke doesn't believe in having a set piece coach

[The Subhuman]

Still only two assists from open play says it all... Yes a dodgy stat but it still tells a story

Can't have someone else getting the credit for something over DF . . . . . . . .

Would you like an angry Swan?

Yes please.....you should have heard me swearing at the telly and Mr Swan....

2 points for me:

Not convinced the DCL effort went in off his hand rather than his body

Perri dodgy yet again - showed far too much of the goal to the kick taker

I called it before it was taken

If he'd been more central he should have saved it

It didn't have a lot of power

It’ll be interesting to hear the reports from those at the game. Can’t see there being much support for Danny Boy.

Was probably sleep walking

What's to say Rogers wouldn't have stuck it in the corner and we're all saying Perri too central. Stunning technique, helped by a Rodon mis-timed jump, he's coming down as it goes over his head) and no way you should be able to get it up and down that quickly.

DCL whipping his hand away after contact suggests it hit his extended hand at some point, it looked like it to tbf. Might be better angles later but his hand should not be there

[The Subhuman]

Probably need to spend 60-75M in the Jan window. Problem is now attracting players

[SG90]

They wouldn't sign for Farke. That's part of the problem of having a poor manager, you can't attract quality.

[The Subhuman]

I do wonder about Farke reputation outside of Leeds. He's "fallen out" with a lot of players, good players too. I thought Anthony looked prem quality Saturday v Chelsea, Spence is an England player and there have been others.

[Clitheroe White]

I didn’t watch today’s match but from reading the comments it looks like

We played well first half
Were poor second
Farke last the game in the 2nd half with poor management
Farkes reason for staying in the role diminish every week

Personally - we change manager now. No point persevering. I’ve seen enough.

Who’s care taker? Don’t care. Get a manager now. We are in the PL ffs. There are managers who would chew their arm off for this chance.

It’s no lose for an ambitious manager. Turn it around and you’re a legend. Fail and it’s the poor squad and board. No lose!!
