Poor that today. Worst performance of the season imo. Farke was livid with Firpos performance in particular.

We need a good number 10 to come in January if it’s possible… need a bit of magic outside the box, someone who can win a game for you when it’s not quite ticking, someone who can unlock a defence with a great ball around the edge of the area.

There`s some talk of Firpo leaving in January.
Maybe his head is elsewhere?
Hamer would have been the answer at 10 I feel.

And a proper centre forward. There are too many teams prepared to sit on the edge of their box against us because they know we can’t just throw one in there and have someone on the end of it. We need a real, consistent presence in the penalty area. Goal less in 3 of our last 4 away games now.

Yeah that away form isn’t good enough, was similar first half of last season.

Aaronson got bullied yesterday which dealt us real harm. James had a rare off day, Piroe was non existent.

If we’d got Hamer we’d have walked the league imo. He’s exactly what we need. Sharpens the focus in January these losses. We’ll bounce back but it could be going smoother

You're never going to have the perfect squad. There's enough in this squad already to win this league comfortably. Every defeat under Farke seems to be a carbon of the last one. Perhaps making some tactical adjustments for games like yesterday would help? Aaronson is 25m international with UCL experience, and Piroe is the top championship scorer since 2021, any team in this league would love to have either of them, so there are no excuses.

Re: ALL NEW 49ERS ERA LEEDS UTD THREAD : Sun Dec 01, 2024 5:03 pm  

some good points, some usual tripe whenever we lose but ignored when we win.
3rd game in 6 days ,
abysmal refereeing and guess what, they played really well.
I think some people like us losing just to moan. same people who never post when we win. we will lose games, so will others. we need a player or two in January but I'm confident we'll bounce back.
and no food or drink yesterday as the Internet was down. poor day all round only saved by the magnificent. as usual, shed seven

That`s a fair point. Some of the signings including Aaronson, McKennie and Piroe on the face of it looked good although whilst Piroe puts in a poor performance now and then his goals scored and assists are very impressive and a s a squad player he isn`t that bad.
Aaronson though wasn`t very good when he was at Leeds before and didn`t do a right lot on loan either.
Like I`ve said he will create occasionally and he will score occasionally. But for me his overall performance is nowhere good enough for this league which is a very physical league to play in.

Piroe is the most over rated player to have worn our shirt for many a year. He’s been awol in so many games this year and just bullied a few poor teams at home. He was dropped by Farke a few times last season and wasn’t deemed good enough to be our starting centre forward in August. He was dreadful again by all accounts yesterday, as he was against Millwall, Swansea and Bristol, all the last four away fixtures. Aaronson is as weak as water. If this squad was comfortably good enough to win this league they wouldn’t have been goal less in 3 of the last 4 away fixtures. At times we are impotent, as we were at the back end of last year, and that’s why we are still in The Championship. We are still too one dimensional against certain teams and that’s why we will be in the dogfight again. We are in a good position at the moment, but we are kidding ourselves if we think other teams would cherish the likes of Piroe and Aaronson.

If someone speaks tripe that’s your opinion. Just wonder who you think likes us to lose ? Also, you’re wrong about 3 games in 6 days. We’ve actually played 3 games in 7 days, the same as Sheff Utd. All Championship teams have a similar schedule and ultimately play 46 games, many times 3 games a week. We have failed to score enough goals in the last 4 away games and that’s nothing to do with fixtures. Three blanks in 4 away games tells it’s own story.
