ABSOLUTE JOKE! 🤬 | CONOR RANTS AS LEEDS BOTTLE IT 🍼 | PRESTON 2-1 LEEDS UNITED 

As an Ipswich supporter, it seems to me that Leeds were so focused on beating us (and we got stuffed) that you forgot that the other games are all worth 3 points, just the same. Southampton are pressing as well, and Leeds have some outstanding players, yet there is a total lack of consistency. For me, as a football supporter, the Measlier red card was justified, although I didn't like the Preston player acting like he had been shot. As for the Dan James dive, not great, was it? Having seen Leeds go from top class to poor in three days, I just hope that we can go from being stuffed at Leeds, back to our normal form against Leicester. Finally, this is a top class vlog, very measured and fair comments, and I know how I felt after losing on Saturday, so total respect for you

This is the Conor I like, can't be arsed watching a manager who can't use a squad of players

Archie had a tough one today, but to not change anything with Archie getting twisted and leaving it be makes me question Farke, how can we recognise it from the armchair but he doesnt. Bad day today 💛💙 mot

Farke is clueless he has no tactical awareness he just keeps playing the same player's the same way the players can't play with that intensity three games a week we need four very good signings in January and start rotating players and resting players because we are going to have to go on a winning run until the end of the season to stand any chance of promotion

Well said sir… 100% agree with you! Word for word…

Football latest: Ipswich are being hunted down: just not by Leeds (Southampton 5 Swansea 0)

Sick of this Gray sycophancy, the lad's gonna getting skinned and lose all his confidence keeping him there, this isn't saying he's a bad player, but he's 17 FFS? Our left hand side is terrible with Spence there, it has clogged things up, the position is clearly not orthodox to him, the constant checking inside achieves nothing? Farke is handicapping his own plans with this idiocy of square pegs!

Fair play to Preston. They had a game plan and stopped us playing. They outmuscled us and wouldn't let us settle. Whilst I'm on my soap box, get rid of that disgusting excuse for a kit and give us our yellow away kit back.

We're repeating the same mistakes over and over. A squad like ours should be far better than this. Either Farke changes or maybe time to start looking for a replacement. Too many good talents being wasted on Farke's watch

Some fans are a joke (like a certain Ian Clarke) who, when I questioned Farke's intransigence and lack of flexibility before the Ipswich Town game, responded, thus, to my comment (after the game): Ian Clark replied: "Charlie West Or just carry on just as we are (same team, same style) and smash Ipswich 4-0 LOLOLOLOL I think I'll trust "Herr Farke" more than you mate LOLOLOLOL". This is the problem with too many fans; getting carried away after a good performance, failing to see the big picture and their inability to differentiate between expectation and reality. I knew we were going to lose -told my son and my mates so. Blame me on history. Supporting Leeds United since season 64-65. Seen it all.

Good to see people finally waking up to Farke. Get Cooper in for the January window! You said it all Connor! FARKE OUT!

I can copy and paste my previous comments. Every team Leeds play will be bang up for it, Leeds only get up for the huge games against the top 2, then they think they can just turn up and win elsewhere. Then we get out battled and fail to get results. Farke needs to take come criticism, we have one of the best squads but we do zero rotation, even over a busy Christmas period. I could have predicted the starting 11, why Gnonto doesn’t get the opportunity to start games is beyond me. Pissed me off today.

You’re consistent at being inconsistent. That’s your downfall. Need to win back to back games and especially if you beat a rival that convincingly that you’re trying to catch. It’s just so poor. Sad even. You know the champ is the one league where not being consistent really is the downfall for sides trying to get automatics. That cluster in the play offs all are there due to the inconsistent nature of their form. Think it’s going to be a play off lottery ticket at the end of the season. Ipswich there for a reason, solid outfit. Do the business most weeks. Yeah lose the odd game. To you last week. But overall very steady hard nosed and plenty of bottle!

Willy looked like he was playing for a move away in Jan today! Our away form mid table and a low block kills us again. Bank average wingers killing us again

archie has been wonderfull but hes 17 and he looked jaded today give him sometime out should have moved spence there pushed their winger back farke missed a chance

Thanks Conor. I know I’m a fickle fan and thought Farke was pretty good after Saturday. BUT how can he put out the same team away from home game after game when they fire blanks at Stoke, Sunderland etc etc. Lacks tactical insight.

5 losses in 12 away from home is such a big concern. We need a left back and a number 10 in January need something different away from home far to easy and predictable from the manager. dont want the guy sacked but he needs to adapt please stubbornness doesnt get you very far as weve seen previously.

Was going to say can you imagine a performance like that in the play-offs, but we won't have to, will probably be the reality!

We need an extra midfielder for away matches against the likes of preston stoke etc. Teams know what leeds are going to do & Farke needs to change his style

To mount a serious challenge we need: new keeper, 1 x RB (cover) 1 x RF centre back, 1 x LF centre back (cover) 2 x LB 1 x CM 1 x CAM and 2 x strikers equals 10 players. Get rid of Ayling Cresswell Cooper Dallas Llorente Wober Koch Aaronson and all those others inc Sinni (injury prone). The policy needs to be recruit specialists in proper positions and only take hard men who have good injury records

Players in the wrong positions as I said, we need Djedd right back and 433.

Whilst we are looking at Leicester and Ipswich, the teams in 5th, 6th and 7th are creeping up behind us. West Brom are in 5th, 6 points worse off than us. We play them next away from home. Sunderland and Hull are a further 3 points back and they play Rotherham away and Blackburn at home next respectively. If we lose to West Brom, they will be 3 points behind us in 5th and 6th and 7th place could be 6 points behind if results go their way… This season is going to drive me mad!! 😅

I have been an advocate of mesliers, as in his performances have not warranted people calling for him to be dropped previously. But today that was unacceptable looked like a man who's destination is elsewhere. Didn't care what would come of that. The first goal for Preston was dreadful also from darlow but I guess that's to be expected with a keeper not up to match standard yet. We got kicked first half and didn't stand up to it shying away from everything... We need another berardi we are very soft! And on gray I have been saying he's good but very inexperienced so will and has had them games all season we can't rely on him to be 10 out of 10 every game!

Consistently inconsistent - you summarised it in two words Conor! Why oh why do we do this. Charity FC, Complacency FC, Arrogance FC = LUFC… enough said. 😡😡😡

This is the Conor I remember and missed :) pure and raw, love it mate. I said this result is on Meslier and Farke. The ref was a joke, he let them get away with bloody murder for most of the game but that's a red card on Meslier all day long.

Not good enough yet again from Farke. Criminal how he picked the same 11 yet again

When it goes wrong,its f*cking appalling. Read most of the comments and would recommend Mr Farke does the same. He needs to take a step back and think outside the box and do the commonsense things like,rotation,earlier substitutions,square pegs etc, like everyman man and his dog are saying...if not,this will cost us.

Agree with everything here, apart from Duane Holmes isn’t old, he’s only 29 🤣

You nailed it at every turn, Conor. Every point made relevant and spot on accurate; not a single remark over-stated or wasted. If Leeds were half as passionate, focused, and incisive as you are, we'd be top 2 by now. I've said our season will take a leap forward when we can (finally) back up a great win with another great win. Wishful thinking.

Ha ha did any Leeds fan not see this coming? That’s what we do! It really is hilarious 50 years of the same old story

You spoke my mind, mate. Thanks for that!!! I’m so infuriated today.

Great rant Conor, 100% spot on!! A few of us (not many as most seemed to think we had appointed the next Bielsa as manager in the Summer!) said that Farke is no good tactially at all and relies almost totally on the individual skills of two or three players to win matches. He did it at Norwich with Buendia and Pukki. Always was then and still is, totally clueless when it comes to in match management and substitutions. Nothing is ever his fault either, he doesn't make mistakes. He's no good, heaven help us if we get through the play offs and he's still the manager in the PL! I can't see why more people can't see this although even on the "super fan, happy clappy" WACCOE a few are now turning, although of course the normal "mouths" in there shout them down and bury their heads even deeper in the sand! Farke out NOW.

I'm with you connor . We cannot get promoted if we continue like this. Even in the play offs

Piroe has 3 match winning goals out of his 9, 33.3% of the time when he has scored it’s been a winner. That’s a pretty good average lmao

Well. Knew this would happend after 4-0😂 just have a laugh and a pint mates! It was written in the stars 1.000.000 years ago

Wouldn’t be Leeds if it was straightforward would it 🤡

Stoke are 1-3 up at Birmingham at the moment and will be on the verge soon and you know what that means on New Years Day.... Here Wayne, have some points !!

Leds seem to be the one team who think they can reach the heights without a decent left back and play dominoes with the attack spearhead. Make it easy for the strategists in the opposition bench. The qualiity of most of the squad raises the standard occasionally against better teams, but arrogance against lesser sides consistently blow it enough not to be serious automatic promotees, and go back to the gamble of the play offs lottery, like days of yore. Well said, Conor. Also, Farke did us well in the Summer, but to play so many players so often is daft. Yoiu could see the tiredness from the first minute and fresh players on miles too late. Wake up, Farke & Co.

I would never trust this club this season. Even after a big win, you always know we'll mess it up. Meslier is forever in question. Farke can't keep them consistent. I have no faith in any of this. It's a downer because we can be so good, but then crap the next. I honestly don't get it at all. I have to blame Farke because who motivates the team? I said that even play offs aren't guaranteed as things stand weeks ago. The team are certainly good enough, but the mentality is rubbish. Off to watch the EPL and a bit of quality.

We are bloody useless….we ALL knew this result was coming. I am SERIOUSLY questioning Farke , his team selection and tactics . We all put up with Bielsa’s stubbornness and team selections….but he had massive amounts of credit in the bank and his ability to turn below average players into Championship champions ! These “Johnny come lately , Billy Big Balls “ players need digging out too …..it’s all well with the high fives and step overs when things are going well ….BUT ….when they need to get down amongst it and be a bit cute…fight fire with fire …and get their bloody hands dirty , they aren’t up for it !! Playoffs at best …..and many more results like this….and be prepared for another 15 years in the Champo !!

Well that was a good comment Duane Holmes is 29 lol, deffo should've been changed at half time Piroe was absent once again :\

Totally agree with you Conor, we were diabolical again, and all every Leeds fan are entitled to say what they want to say. I just hope the board see this and put their hands in their pockets and get those players we need.

Conor, usually I agree with you but not today. Same starting 11 for three games in a row. If the team looks complacent and lethargic in the 1st half, why not make changes at half time.

ABSOLUTE “F UP”!!!!!!…..BLOWN IT IM AFRAID!!!….JUST NOT CONSISTENT ENOUGH SIMPLE AS!!!!!!

Why’s everyone moaning? The league was wrapped up against Ipswich!?

Rutter is a 10, im not having it anymore. A No.9 pulls the trigger whenever he gets the chance, he doesnt. When down to 10 men, he was everywhere! An absolute force! Farke needs to demand more from him! Piroe isnt a fucking 10, his first touch is pish! Fucking tripe! But his first touch finishing, guess what… half decent from the small amount of chances he gets. Farke is either to stubborn or his ego is fragile. It comes across like he feels the starting XI he picks is capable of winning every match. Hes not protecting Archie. Hes played too much already. Hes not doing bad btw but he is being targeted so more often than not hes the one having to defend 1v1.. hes 17. Think your being harsh on djed, i thought he was better than your making out imo.

Only Farke should be blamed. He should be sacked asap if we want to be in playoffs.

Bielsa got hammered for being stubborn with his starting 11 and predictable substitutions, he didnt have this embarrassment of riches, we are so predictable, keeper gets sent off so we take off leading goalscorer, archie got smoked all afternoon yet we take off spence and go to a back 3 and keep him and right back, low and behold he shows millar inside yet again to concede the winner, dan james was pony all game yet played it all, whats happened with anthony coz he cant get a sniff now, its painful to watch at times

Thank you Conor, Finally somebody has said it. Archie IS NOT a Right back, he’s been losing his man for weeks now. Piroe just has no intensity at all.

Meslier has cost us dearly there. Farke also has a lot to answer for. Play offs at best for us

I'm watching Southampton v Swansea . Southampton absolutely swarming all over them with a very high tempo . It's like chalk and cheese compared to our approach earlier.

4 defeats in last 9 away thats not promotion form

Ipswich fan here. Don´t take your defeat at Preston to heart. A few days ago we visited you and our players didn´t turn up for the first time in nearly 2 years. Life does not always go as we wish. The season is only half done. Take a deep breath and reset.

Hammer us 4-0 and we are likely to get nothing today so should have cut the gap to 4 points. You are a miles better than us but the inconsistency is killing you, looks like saints are the ones that will catch us.

That's automatics completely shit away because of how inconsistent we are, it's honestly a disgrace how complacent we get against mediocre and poor teams. Struijk and Rodon the only ones who should hold their heads up with that game

We will still make the play offs but we need to improve I agree with Archie Gray at RB not good enough

Leeds seem to win the hard games and lose the easy ones.

Leeds keep doing this, they play well and get a good win then the next game they think they are Real Madrid and can play in second gear. Yes we gotta stop playing players out of position.

I think Preston TACTICALLY out did us today. And Leeds just thought they could turn up and win after a big result the week before. They never learn. Too inconsistent away from home. Another Stoke result. I do question Farkes tactical ability at times.

Have to remember Preston have the second worst defence in the league

Nevermind Ipswich we need to watch Southampton Conor

Meslier is paid enough to be professional and not react like that! How on earth can he do that infront of the Ref and not expect to be sent off !?

It’s a miserable afternoon or evening that ruins Leeds - we have talented big-time players who like big time occasions. They have no grind in them. We moan about teams having their best games against us, a big team. Well that’s exactly what we’re doing. Ipswich, Leicester, no problem, ordinary teams, we don’t show.

I will put it bluntly. We are shite! Leicester and Southampton auto promotion spots, and Ipswich will win play-offs.

Has much has I hate to say it Connor, I did say... Southampton won't just finish 2nd they'll be clear 2nd & maybe challenge Leicester . I'd get rid now Farke he has 1 vision , hates bringing subs on & doesn't have plan B. Personnelly. i'd like to see Steve Cooper brought in, before he's snapped up. Rutter, Summerville, & Gnonto are great friends off the pitch & hang out socialise together, seeing summerville score against Ipswich he doesn't celebrate with players around him, he runs 50 yards to Gnonto on 1/2 way dugout. You' think Farke would try this friendship on the pitch has part of front 3.

I went absolutely nuts about that last goal, i was screaming that it was Farkes fault, everyone could see archie was struggling this game.

What makes you think that anyone is bothered about Leeds?... Southampton are the team to beware of..

I don’t rate DF, yeah he may of won 2 championships but I feel he’s hiding behind them. How does a 2 x winner make piss poor subs every week? Doesn’t rota and is not reactive 🤷🏻‍♂️. Only a matter of time before fans turn

I think Ipswich are more worried about Southampton now and unfortunately we should be too

You love it when Leeds lose.. Why do you get so excited when you are not a suporter. you occasionally need to go to a game to call yourself that.

1step forward, 2 step backwards every time with Farke, he as this stubborn mentality and it creates inconsistency. He as to mix it up, so players don't get complacent. Mez deserved to go, but so should have the Preston player coming flying in form nowhere pushing

Team was crap today... Dust ourselves down and go again, and hope the real leeds United turn up on friday.

Archie Gray is appalling at right back. Too lightweight and is non existent when a half decent winger runs at him. He could have cost us several goals today and has cost us many others. He's a weak link in this team.

I watched the game and I totally agree with you Conor, Farke got it wrong and the players were dreadful today.

Daniel Farke is a elite level coach in the championship but if Leeds were to get promoted to the premier league and are last by December of 2024 then I know you'll want Daniel Farke out. If I were you I would start panicking.

dissagree about kamara. hes been a ball hunter more than progressive midfielder imo. gray played more balls to the forwards in the games he played in midfield than kamara since he came in. id start gnonto. he's ruined him by putting him on bench - james a bigger game changer from bench. drop piroe for bamford at least for one game.

Farke - Not taking early chances to rotate the squad, Huddersfield being the earliest and most comfortable I can think of, are punishing us. Oh, don’t forget a manager that reverted to type and doesn’t like to use subs. Changes should have happened at half time.

Farke is clueless with his subs EVERY GAME n get rid of that f king Bamford / Ayling We have to sign some experienced full backs Goalie and Cam or we AINT going up

red all day cant believe he reacted the plank

For me today conformation which i forecast earlier!!! I said Leicester Top, Southampton 2nd!!! Us 4th or 5th!!!

It's Leeds United all over. We win convincingly to the sides we should find a tough game but give us a should win game... we go to pot. Rotherham, Sheff Wed, Stoke, Coventry and now Preston. Just not good enough

Now what do we do? Sack manager? Get rid of some and invest in January? It’s difficult in that in any other season we might be top. But this is not any other season. It’s not just the top 2 Southampton look good, WBA will be difficult. Where do we go?

It's criminal that we have a right back of experience and pedigree at this level in Spence, and Farke plays a 17 year old there who's clearly uncomfortable in that position, you point out numerous occasions where this is evident, it's astonishing, I want him gone, Farke, he's full of shit.

Bielsa would of hauled Archie Gray off and read the game better than Farke with substitutions. Fake has no idea how to play against a low or mid block when teams set up to not play and frustrate. There's been a pattern of points dropped against these teams who don't play how Leeds want to. Archie Gray is played out of position to boost his market value because Leeds are a selling club. Southampton will finish 2nd Leeds are mediocre away!

So pissed.off No way we get top two. It will be play offs for us. Annoyed with farke..he needs to step out of his comfort zone and rotate and change tactics. Desperately need lb and no. 10. And less of the tippy tappy. More long balls needed.

Farke is useless, Gray got turned inside out, allowed the wingback to turn in every time, yet Garje take Spence off, bloody useless.

Archie was poor for the goal against Coventry ,Sunderland and now Preston he’s not a right back. Not strong enough in the tackle. Beaten to easy,, Needs to show the attacker down the line, he’s to easy to cut inside him. I love him to bits but not a right full

Spot on connor, garbage, but honestly, who did not see this performance and result.coming? it has been a constant failing of ours all season. I predict another defeat at west brom and then we will be in the shit. Gotta spend big in jan to even make the playoffs. Sothampton are now the team to watch imo.

Total shit show, Farke will be out if he carries on with this team selection and shit ahow substitutions, he’s getting g found out big time now, and we are finally now in 4th place ffs😡😡😡

Conner, it is this simple, when the game is on the line Southampton capitalise and Leeds choke. They just don't have the quality, drive, desire, to do what they need to do.

Mes absolute tit today.. how Farke can’t see gray getting beat for fun all game by there winger is mental anyone with a pair of working eyes knew gray needed taking off at half time but no Farke persists with him and final note it’s another game where we’ve not turned up at all it’s not good enough the so called talent we have In the team to look so unthreatening is not on truth be told Farke is doing an ok job with this squad nothing more nothing less if he was doing a good job we’d be top 2…

I agree about Archie Conor. If Spence is fit he plays RB. Byram was on the bench so why not play him at LB. Not ideal but better than what we did.

We can take about the fool meslier but leeds performances when they have to play a game every 3 days is a bigger issue.

Connor i don't always agree with you,but today you are 100% rite,Farke watched Archey get Rosted all day instead of switching spence over and take Archey off,and put Sam on in LB,Steve Wonder could see it,and unless we change things about we haven't a chance of top 2

Finally ones are starting to realise under this manager we won't get promoted it's embarrassing last week against Ipswich was r Cup final we got up for it but against other opposition nah its just blah

Preser fella has run 50 yards to push Meslier and dropped like a sack of shit. Not violent for me. Pushed his face

If teams play expansive football we thrive, if they press us and play tight we crumble. And agree with previous comment, that kit is awful.

We've seen this script before. Great results followed by ineptitude. The inconsistency in performances makes automatic promotion a pipe dream. Additional quality is desperately needed in the transfer window and Farke needs to take responsibility for the lethargic efforts on display in away games.

I think the central midfield was blocked, so we couldn't start the GEARS - so everything was going wide. They have blocked the central midfield playmakers. So, we need to counter that. ALSO a new Goal Keeper, can't keep making excuses for him. This is not a U21 game, you are playing in a professional league.

So we have a natural right back we'll play him there, We have bottled it again play offs is the best we are going to do
