According to my notes. Ampadu wasn't as bad he was made out to be, yes he made some errors & not at his best, but he was very involved in the game.The Subhuman wrote: ↑Wed Apr 08, 2026 4:07 pm Greuv played well once on, better than Amps. That's way too low. Needs to be around 7

Anyone whose ever been at a match has stood next to the 50 year old 25 stone middle aged bloke whose been drinking for 7 hours yelling "I could do better with my eyes shut" at the professional athlete half his age and weight..
Not sure the stands at matches are always full of cheery clapping seals

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
When I used to stand in the kop in the 80s, there was often lots of annoyance shown if a Leeds player got something wrong, and some fans would even shout abusive comments towards Leeds players that they didn't particularly like - particularly if they lost the ball or something.
Some of the abuse directed at players back then was unbelievable - particularly opposition players. Some of the racist stuff too was horrendous - I can remember banana skins being thrown on to the pitch. And the mass jeering when the opposition keeper came over to take his position in the goal in front of the kop. Lots of abusive shouts. Sexist chants as well if any women went near the pitch for any reason. Hopefully times have changed.

The Scratching Shed was similar in the 60s/70s.
Not many racist/sexists these days.
Our players generally get a free rein as long as they are giving 100%, lets face it, half of them were championship players now playing at the highest level, so there are times when they are going to struggle, there are no easy games in the Premier League.
The oppositiion always get intimidating abuse now, teams such a Chelsea, Arsenal & Scum & constanly booed when they are on the ball.

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
Taking off Tanaka was a big mistake, we got noticeably worse.
I don't think Aaronson for Stach was the right choice either.
We lost impetus second half not for the first time and eventually ended up conceding in the 90+ minute twice. We can blame the refs but this happens a lot so it can't just be the refs fault.
I think a 6 is fair, a 6 is average I think that's fair.
Circumstances meant he didn't do anything awful but he also didn't do anything particularly good either imo.

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
Nothing in my opinion.
Picked a starting eleven that played well and was then unlucky when the injuries to Stach & Rodon which forced two substitutions upon him. Then used his final substitution window to make multiple changes to freshen things up. Of course I'm sure he would have rather not have had to make as many changes at that point but his hand was forced by the injuries. Extra substitution allowed in ET was then used to get our best penalty taker on with still 15 mins to go so he could get up to speed.
So he's utilised the squad, was unlucky not to have won in normal time away against PL opposition and has then won the game by getting the penalty takers correct as well.

Tanaka may have stayed if not for the injuries to Stach & Rodon, Farke had switch tactics due to those injuries.
You are so harsh on Farke, the man can do little right in your mind.

Poor old Daniel, he gets some stick on here, even though he's had a successful career at Leeds.

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
The average score is 6 so clearly it's a score approved of by the majority.
The injuries had nothing to do with his removing Tanaka, his sub happened a long time after they were just DF's usual pre determined subs dead on 70 minutes as per.

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
Rating for this game. We nearly blew it in the last 10 minutes and were the worst side in injury time.
Our late game record this season has cost us several times.

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup)
Farke brought on three attacking players & one defensive midfielder, our top scorer, DCL, plus everybody's favourites on here Gnonto & Piroe & our other DM Gruev.YorkshireSquare wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2026 3:48 pm Rating for this game.

Who was he supposed to bring on? bearing in mind he had already used two of his subs to replace the injured Stach & Rodon.

Gnonto won us the pen with a lovely through ball.. Think we were luck Brenden was wiped out as he'd lost control

Re: Player Ratings vs West Ham (FA Cup) - Farke 6/10????
I went 6.5... Fine with that. As I say I think we got there despite of Farke not because of him... Had Bowen scored and we'd gone out Farke would be on a 4 at best ..
