@marshyleeds Won’t happen unless we need a goal; he has it in his mind a point a game is all we need, sooner draw 0-0 every game or rely on set pieces.
Honestly, I have to agree with him
The big concern for #LUFC is a lack of goals - we’ve just one from open play in the last five and a half PL games.
Farke may need to consider mixing it up:
-Bring Okafor back in?
-Stach more advanced / Tanaka in for Aaronson?
-Revert to 433 with two natural wingers
Thoughts?

Amazing 🇮🇪🙏🏻🇳🇱
Tactical time-outs an increasing problem in football. A few PL clubs do it. Even England have done it. Caoimhin Kelleher may have genuinely been injured - he was able to play on - but Leeds United’s frustration at the disruption was understandable. They were building, had brought on subs and then the game paused.
Daniel Farke already raised concerns earlier this season. Gianluigi Donnarumma went down and Manchester City players went to touchline for instructions. Farke asked the fourth official if he was going to do something.
Officials’ hands are tied at the moment. Teams getting round rule for outfield players to go off for 30 seconds after treatment. Now goalkeepers used for tactical timeouts. IFAB has discussed a nominated outfield player going off for 30 seconds if a keeper has treatment. But concern that a keeper could genuinely have been injured. Possible solution is for players to be stopped from going to the touchline during stoppages or ordered to stay in the centre circle.
Be interesting to see whether World Cup refs clamp down. It’s seeking an advantage by breaking up opposition’s flow, by giving the manager an opportunity for instructions and also it’s time-wasting - and there’s enough of that spoiling games.
70’ Becoming a common occurrence this season, as Kelleher goes down needing treatment after Leeds make substitutions. Looks like he’ll now be fine to continue after the Brentford players check in with their manager. 0-0
When @JackGrealish asks you to do the worm in the treatment room, you just have bust out the best dance move Finch Farm has ever seen! 🪱

Who remembers when #LeedsUnited's big Aussie striker Mark Viduka put #Liverpool to the sword with a stunning four goal haul in a 4–3 win at Elland Road. Pure Barclays heritage, that’s not a just a MOTM performance, that’s cult hero status secured 🫡
What’s the best individual performance you’ve ever seen? 👀👇
Barcelona starting 11: £91M

Hilarious the underdog story getting run.
The tourist money league getting taught a lesson in how to play football yet again.
