But only one team deserved those points and we fought for them. As a team.

Perfect? No but it never will be.

And for those interested,we were awful down he left again. Struijk should be dropped. :lol:

Doubt Spurs go down.

Proper manager killer club though.

Conte a winner all his career, done nothing at Spurs.

Jose the same

Nuno highly rated after overachieving at Wolves, struggled.

Now Frank.

Clubs a curse.

It's a poisoned chalice. Decent coaches all failing there.

They will sack Thomas Frank and scrape up.

Plenty of other teams looking over their shoulders though: Bournemouth, Palace, Everton, Brighton, etc.

Lots of inconsistency this season apart from Arsenal and Villa, but Villa usually blow up and go on a bad run.

Some thought that we should all be happy clappy types when we used to lose games 7-0 under a previous manager who got himself sacked....

Palace possibly could get drawn in to. They seem to be in freefall and are only 3 points above us. Would be great to see them in our rearview mirror and give us a bit more breathing room.

Of course nobody has counted the number of sitter headers in front of goal he has missed this season...

Or that Bijol effectively took over the main responsibility of dealing with defensive headers.when he was drafted into the heart of the defence...

But for the last second defeat at Toon it might be 9 unbeaten for the useless definitely not a PL manager Farke.
I think he’s just lucky.

The expectations are huge I suppose. Especially now that they have their new ground and the money is coming in.

Not saying Tanaka playing would have been a bad decision but equally no guarantee it would have brought us a better result than a win.
It's hard to know what the outcome would have been Weasel. Sounds like we missed his creativity for much of the match though. Gruev is a solid "7 player" I guess, and that's maybe why he gets picked.

For the record, DF is my favourite Leeds manager since O'Leary.

Doesn't mean however that I won't have an opinion about whether Gnonto and Tanaka merit more game time. Or whether Struijk for such a tall bloke is poor in the air and lacks pace....

Yeah easier to know what you get with Gruev. Tanaka can be brilliant but also sloppy at times.

He is so lucky that if he walked under a ladder, smashed a mirror, spilled salt, and let a black cat cross his path, all at once, then the universe, feeling guilty, delivered a leprechaun to his doorstep with a lifetime supply of four-leaf clovers and free hair gel.

I think that's it - you kind of know what you get with Gruev. Usually a solid 7 type of performance, if somewhat lacking a bit in terms of vision and creativity.

Plus he's unlikely to score a goal compared to Tanaka I guess.
