Fear Of The Fox

You probably didn't watch the last 2 games of Leeds. It was more than obvious their players were stressed and they were rushing everything. Farke also is now more afraid to use his bench, he's waiting until the 75min to make any changes. Their fans are losing patience, they're obsessed with automatic promotion because for some reason they think the team will collapse in playoffs. Ipswich will batter them next week. 1-4 to Ipswich.

Why was he allowed to play again just a few months after the first incident? If the doctors gave him the green light it's very scary because these football professionals receive the best treatment.

The problem isn't only ETH (who is obviously another mediocre, stubborn manager). They have at least 6 players that need to be dropped and put in the transfer list: Onana, Fernandez, Rashford, McTominay, Dalot, Amrabat... They need a manager who will get rid of all the above plus more. That said they need to do a lottery and pick someone from the season ticket holders. Or give the job to someone like Will Still.

Fixed it.

I guess he has a different heart issue? I don't know. What I know well though is that you don't mess around when you have heart problems and certainly it's a big risk competing in high tempo football games like in PL.

Exactly. Health is beyond any job. Imo players who had heart surgeries should not be allowed to play at this level even if they're willing to take the risk or their doctors allowed them to compete again. Same applies to Eriksen.

You can't expect players to have good decision making or finishing at this level. Even the conversion ratio of one-to-one vs GK situations in Championship is very low.

How's this not a red card to Ederson? It wasn't inside the box and the double jeopardy rule doesn't apply here. Since when goalkeepers are allowed to act like CBs? The foul denied an obvious goal opportunity because Ederson was late at the ball and his rush outside of the box failed miserably. What's going on?

Yes but it doesn't matter in Championship. Bad teams can nick a point.

We just don't want Leeds anywhere near the top 2 promotion places. If we and Ipswich maintain generally the current form Leeds will eventually give up and focus on the playoffs. We also prefer Ipswich going up with us and as it stands they deserve it.

This is a decent result for Ipswich, it's impossible to win every single game and as long as they don't lose the pressure is always on Leeds. Coventry aren't on a bad form either (3-2-1 last 6 games). Interesting game coming up in a bit.

Palace is the mascot of the PL, they're like Casper the ghost. Week in week out they're playing some games, suddenly you see them in a relegation battle and after a moment they're back safe.

What's the point paying so much money these people with the yellow flags? They're going up and down (half way) for 90+ min to just signal the throw ins?

What's this? A Lego advent calendar?

Forest always try to turn all home games into scrappy, chaotic affairs, it's like watching Sunday league games between people with severe hangover. Too many fouls, no rhythm in the game at all. I don't like Spurs at all but I really can't stand teams playing this way so I'm glad they're in front. I hope Forest go down eventually and their owner get arrested.

I don't get this "there's nothing in the laws of the game how goals should be awarded". Does this mean they can award the goal to me? I was shouting from the beginning of this goal to 3 players of our team how to move and pass the ball. I also screamed "freeeee kebabs" when the ball went into the box, this is why you can clearly see in the video six Millwall players suddenly standing still after being shocked by my announcement.

Ipswich's win was great for us. Keeps our players motivated. A pundit (former footballer, idk his name) who was covering the Coventry vs Southampton game on Talksport described the situation as I did here a couple of pages back. He said this catchup game is exhausting for the players of Leeds and Southampton and it would be better for them to settle with the playoffs idea. If you watch Southampton's game they were clearly stressed and they were rushing everything from the first minute. The must win mentality affects them week in week out. Same applies to Leeds.

Were you shouting to the early leavers to come back?

My opinion hasn't changed since the early season run of games. Keep this as a 2 horse race. It's demoralising for Leeds, they will collapse under this constant pressure doing catch up and it will also have an impact on their playoff games. Let's make this a fun title race between us and Ipswich. And the latter really deserve all the praise, decent fan base and likeable team. We'd rather play them again in PL next year instead of Leeds.

If Girona win La Liga it will be a shock to the system like our title. Man City are not heavily involved in the project, it's mostly technocratic involvement.

We've faced the situation of injuries galore so it's understandable to me Newcastle can't cope. They're playing almost the same team everytime and CL football makes things even worse.

How is Poch still at the job? Does the Chelsea owner know already there's a big punishment coming for his team?

They may have the 2nd best GA indeed but they're not that far away from other teams. Another 7 teams have conceded max 24 goals.

As I predicted the teams in the relegation zone will start having better results.
