Don't agree completely. Up until we took the lead I thought we were often coming out on top of duels. But it flipped around the hour, then we couldn't. Not certain of the reason, fatigue, Arsenal changing up - players and intensity.

This sort of played out on the first goal. Don't think we won many first contacts with attacking set pieces either. Oh well, decent performance all told, but these little details can mean points sometimes.

He's perhaps the best player I've seen in the flesh at Elland Road.

Elvedi over Bijol in this match is a bad call considering Arsenal's strengths. Elvedi has struggled aerially this season, Bijol is superb in the air. #lufc

Perhaps if we build a massive Hub airport in Leeds we will finally get a tram.

A mate of my son's has just been broken up with on *the day before his birthday*, so his mates have rallied round to make sure he's ok. However, being British and therefore sarcastic to the core, the book they have collectively bought him as a present is called 'The Monastic World'.

I think being pinned back is inevitable given the circs, but the lack of outlet, or even the vague hint of a plan to push the game up towards the halfway line was astonishing to me.

The sorts of things you've listed annoy me also, but I just don't think it marks the demise of the game is all.

Sorry, I was playing cricket yesterday then I went to the pub, so didn't see this till now. I don't think the win at all costs thing is new. Can think of other sports where we've seen this type of behaviour over the years as well as football. What did people say about Revie's Leeds?

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
It's not the demise of football, the game of football (on the field) is in rude health. It's some elements of the culture around it you don't like, me too.

Agree with this. Bijol way better in the middle of the three. That's partly due to the nature of the other CBs at the club, interested to see if they go back four with a different partner for him next season. But also, it just got more big boys in the team to clear it for sure.

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
Farke changed the formation with the play style. He could have easily played to the profile of players that the recruiters bought for him (and he agreed to) in the 433. Formation was not the primary issue.

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
Penny for the thoughts of the people who set the plan for Farke to follow last summer, him taking three months to get there, then to listen to him talk like the way he did before the Brighton game.

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
In addition, I'm not sure he's that good at the in possession stuff. It's slightly ironic on that I think he's done a better coaching job playing a style that he doesn't want to play than he did in the champ with the style he did.

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
I would question Farke being the man for that. Coaches generally only have a finite shelf life at a club. There are notable exceptions, but they're usually all time greats. And with respect to Farke, he's not. So, it could just be a natural time to go in different directions after 4 or 5 years.
220
Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
But the transition away from the current style and probably Farke is the tricky part. Season three or four. I expect the club are looking to build a squad with enough quality to cushion the bumps in that process. The key will be really nailing the next hire. We need to find our own Iraola. #lufc

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
That's not a question for next season, I suspect we see more of the same but hopefully with some better players. Perhaps we see teams sit off us at home some more, so we need to learn to break blocks down a little better. But it's not a major concern for me in the short term.

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
Farke less so, though credit to him for getting there in the end. Also, worth saying the version of it he landed on was very good. The key question, and this is discussed on Tifo, is how do Leeds go from this style to something akin to a more dominant team challenging for things?

Dan Holdsworth @danholdsworth.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
The work the club did to understand how to survive in the PL is key. I wince a bit when I see praise for what Farke did in spite of the recruitment. I just don't see a world where Leeds were able to bring in good enough players to play Farke's preferred style. The club were clear eyed on this.

Yea, I won a bit over £100 that day. I'd say you never get poor betting against Leeds. But that strategy has cost me money of late.

The game is all open and crazy like at Newcastle,and that didn't end well. And yet my we have a big advantage. A smart team would close the game down and counter.
