Brendan passed out. Kolo taking team against Stockport. 

Probably choked on his 2:37pm daily fig roll

I now doubt there is anyone who can back Rodgers here. If I can’t do it, no one can I’m sure  

There are currently 41 of them on the poll thread!

The more i see these Young American players the more i think on home soil in 4 years they might be dark horses.

Is the problem not that they seem a bit of a closed book In terms of welcoming world class coaches in? 
 

It’s fine wanting home grown, but I mean other than Marsch who is clearly proving his qualities in Europe, the USMNT have often relied on a rotation of very average home grown MLS managers. Current manager is also from this crop. 
 

I think if they want to be a big success they either need to get Marsch in in the next couple of years or look to attract someone world class who wants a crack at success at International level with a good young side. 
 

Also think they need to be more open to playing friendlies against the best European sides. 2018 since they played Italy and England in friendlies….

They beat us 3 nil 

That's a given.

Apart from Bournemouth and West fackin Ham, the other ‘relegation sides’ are winning or drawing. Southampton, Fulham, Florists, now Leeds…

Our odds to be relegated must be shortening by the day I suspect.

 

[SixtiesFox]

Watching other teams at the moment amplifies the fear of allowing Rodgers to continue in charge for much longer. The passion and commitment of a Leeds team with inferior talent to ours being galvanized by a passionate coach on the sideline and the pace that almost every other team seems to be playing at - these are worrying times indeed. We are sleepwalking towards disaster. Pull the trigger, Top, before it's too late!

Basically we are looking at relegation, the worse defence and like AJ, shit it when someone steps forward

The coaching situation is indeed a problem.  Berhalter's brother was in charge of choosing a replacement so it's no shock how that went.  They had a shot at a couple of good international managers too.  Berhalter isn't the worst manager but they will need better in four years, when they should have a real opportunity as this generation of huge talents come into their peak.  With the lifespan of the average PL manager who know, Jesse might be available.  If not yes, they need a strong international manager to take over.

 

They have gone the international route before, most famously with Jürgen Klinsmannm, with decidedly mixed results (though he did get us out of the group stage).

Chelsea can have no excuse so far - been very 2nd best .

Well played Leeds so far .

Bit early to be worried about relegation 4 games in I know it’s not great at the minute but there is a lot of football left to play

I guess even Jurgen was already working in the MLS and living over there wasn’t he.

I’m worried, there are teams that have sold players they wouldn’t have wanted to but still playing good stuff.. We look rotten

If the Chelsea result stays like this I guess it may very well make them come back in for Fofana

Does feel that everything Leeds players do seem to be going through their coach's veins

I think a chNge in manager would change our moral. Our current squad is good enough to finish 10th to 15th IMO. But if we have 0 confidence then well relegation is possible as it is in these very early days

Chelsea lose this, just add another £20m onto Fofana price tag 

[KFS]

Always said you lot overrated sideshow bob. Every minute that goes by in this game Fofana’s price tag goes up

Yeah, he wants out but Chelsea really need him for sure. I think we will get top money for him

He was indeed.

[Dahnsouff]

Seeing as Fofana is doing his best to drive his own price down, this feckless nonsense from Chelsea is useful should we wish to sell

[sishades]

Leeds continuing to press chelsea.
