I was stressed as heck after the Leeds game yesterday, awake about 4am, still reflecting. A day at home with family/ drinking, cooking, chilling, chatting has levelled things out again. I hope the manager and players have had the same opportunity. It’s important. - ThreadSky

Daniel Farke has to make the right call 📞 you can't keep playing someone making this many mistakes the Legendary DON REVIE said I stayed too loyal far too long to ONE player Gary Sprake if I had brought in David Harvey sooner we would've won more matches that's coming from the DON the No 1 M.O.T 🦚

I was at the match Bryn scoring first Meslier pen save i thought this is it we could get a hat full of goals then from hero to zero. MESLIER has to be dropped cost us too many points especially after Saturday Joe Rodon the photo says it all for me back four don't trust him Karl Darlow in M.O.T🦚

“Football is not about kids and death, it's much more important than that.” Bill Shankly’s quote rings true, no? MOT

jblufc.bsky.social•6 days ago

No. That’s bollocks- there’s more important things than football. Think of Saturday’s tributes.

fitnessandfunction.bsky.social•6 days ago

That’s exactly the point mate. Shankly was being sarcastic.

berniebanter.bsky.social•4 days ago

Playing teams with nothing to play for is so unpredictable.

They can play with freedom, no pressure, if they get smacked it doesn’t matter, if they get a result it’s all gravy.

At this rate Burnley v Blades are settling for a 0-0 and both going up.

harveylufc.bsky.social•6 days ago

Bryn snap mate! Is it right that Farke gave the players a couple of days off?

brynlaw.bsky.social•6 days ago

No idea tbh, but I’d guess only the lads on international duty would benefit.

harveylufc.bsky.social•6 days ago

I heard he has given them 48 hours away from the club to get their heads around the result and to get their heads concentrated on the run in

lufcmot.bsky.social•6 days ago

He should have dragged them in today to watch that match back followed by last year's play off on loop!!

macca-93.bsky.social•5 days ago

Meslier tried drinking but dropped the bottle.

lufcmot.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is where Farke has to step up and show he can galvanise the players and get us back to the form that will get us over the line. I'm not convinced he's capable of doing it though I'm afraid.

stef73.bsky.social•6 days ago

Well his after game interview was anything but reassuring. It didn't give me a lot of confidence he can get us through this. There's time to make things right, but they absolutely must be right or it'll be the playoffs (eurgh!)

lufcmot.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think this is where we all are atm.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is where managers make their money, this is where he failed massively last season

lufcmot.bsky.social•6 days ago

Exactly why I have my doubts about his ability to do what is necessary. He is making as many errors as Meslier in my opinion. He needs to be bold and change things up, otherwise the writing is on the wall.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think a 3 man midfield would suit us, we're losing the midfield every week at the moment regardless who plays there

lufcmot.bsky.social•6 days ago

Someone floated this idea on here earlier and I agree.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

3 at back, 3 in mid, wing backs, possibly James and Firpo, with Soloman behind Piroe. I keep thinking Soloman would suit a free role at 10. Bit tight on Bogle mind, he'd have a role though

royh74.bsky.social•5 days ago

…and conversely where he’s succeeded twice before.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeh, makes you wonder what the difference was, the pressure of the size and expectation of the club? I know he had the no10 he really wanted at Norwich, and their full backs were being touted as quality at the time. Also a striker who scored for fun

royh74.bsky.social•5 days ago

All of the above I think plus the added pressure on the players which is off the scale at Leeds.

stef73.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think most of us were stressed Saturday. I know I was. Never gotten like that after a game before. Farke and the team need to step up, there's much work to be done. A couple of tricky games coming up. 😬

ray1963.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think the performance at Luton will tell us everything we need and after that we’ll have a pretty good idea of how the last few games will unfold. #lufc

tiddydave.bsky.social•5 days ago

The performance on Saturday told us everything we needed to know, THAT was the litmus test game. What happens from here on in is inevitable

ray1963.bsky.social•5 days ago

There’s a chance that the other two won’t win every game left (impossible anyway) & that a week of reflecting on that heap of shite might, just might, produce a response, at Luton. With Darlow in net. And Gnonto starting. And the shape shifter that impersonated Ampedu having been exterminated. And..

tiddydave.bsky.social•5 days ago

There’s a chance Burnley could get 4 players sent off at Coventry, but…

leelangford66.bsky.social•6 days ago

His chill time was the international break. I'd prefer that he's brooding on what's gone wrong since the games against our two big rivals. He needs a plan B because opposition managers have sussed out his plan A.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think teams aren't sitting back at ER now, we are getting pressed higher up tje pitch and the players are struggling with it. I think the manager needs to be brave and rethink it, a bold move now could see us over the line, but I dont think he will

brynlaw.bsky.social•6 days ago

I spoke to an experienced coach in the build up who’d watched Swansea, he predicted that approach. As well as it worked, Leeds should still have won the game.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

I also do think Meslier is all round stronger than Darlow but I also think Mesliers major weakness is being targeted, set pieces are being aimed in the air at Meslier with teams expecting a follow up to come

macca-93.bsky.social•5 days ago

An issue with Meslier at this point is his confidence is shot, keeping him in you're not helping him.

The bigger issue is the defence doesn't trust him, people are wondering why we are concerning more chances lately, it's the lack of belief in the man behind them, it affects their decision making

webbor.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep. Absolutely spot on

macca-93.bsky.social•5 days ago

I said it after the Hull (I think it was) game where you saw the reaction of the players, they didn't trust him any more, some fans said I was talking rubbish but it's no surprise we have been much worse defensively since that point

thomasehurst.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is this a cut and paste from after Sunderland or Hull?

macca-93.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hull was the one it became obvious in the players reaction

marcyeboah.bsky.social•4 days ago

I read in the Athletic yesterday the ownership questioned Farke on the goalkeeper in January and said we'd go get him a new keeper, Farke said no. Could be a massive decision

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

I think as much as we can point at Meslier sloppy ball control/passes brought both their goals, corner from absolutely nothing and a final minute we totally messed up the throw in. Piroe brought a great save from the keeper 2nd half and the ref bottled a red card, margins between victory and defeat

andy-lufc.bsky.social•6 days ago

The press from other other teams has been happening more and more just recently, I can't remember when it started and was effective, but you could see the change in opponents tactics. No one is sitting back and letting us keep the ball like they were earlier in the season and we're struggling.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

Its up to Farke to sort that out, its like last season when teams sussed to nulify our wingers to totally take away our threat, this has been sussed this season and Farke doesnt seem proactive enough to change it. West Brom I felt totally had our midfield and he had no idea what to change

andy-lufc.bsky.social•6 days ago

I couldn't agree more. It's almost as if we've only prepared for one kind of game and when it's not that game we don't know what to do, or Farke doesn't know what to do to be precise.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is really where managers have to make their money, I think if he takes us up he'd be totally exposed in PL, by sounds he did that at Norwich and changed nothing, the record in the top flight here and Germany is terrible

andy-lufc.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's a big worry. I don't know if Norwich backed him with the players he wanted or not, and I don't know how much we'll back him either because of the risk of him failing and us needing a new coach who wants his own players. It's a massive risk either way.

jblufc.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s about strength of character too- look around the pitch and we’ve got some weak bottle-less players who simply aren’t up for the fight of end of season championship… again.

marcyeboah.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yeh totally, I've felt we've really lacked that shithouse in the team, a Klich for example

jblufc.bsky.social•5 days ago

Look at their 2nd equaliser- shit touch from Joseph, weak tackle by Tanaka, half-hearted challenge by Struijk…shit ‘keeping!

marcyeboah.bsky.social•5 days ago

How they scored from our throw there was pathetic, it should have been 'we were poor, but won' and moved on, threw away 2 points

jblufc.bsky.social•5 days ago

Burnley and Sheff U 100% wouldn’t have dropped points from that position. We’re weak all over the pitch.

johnrawes.bsky.social•6 days ago

I bet there are a few who didn’t sleep well Bryn

joseybackupnorth.bsky.social•6 days ago

🙋🏻‍♀️

bretwelda.bsky.social•5 days ago

In my opinion it is not a tactical or technical issue nor is it organisation and structure of the team that is causing these poor results it is purely the pressure of the shirt weighing too heavily on this young team. Meslier needs to be rested now for his own sake.

drewf64.bsky.social•6 days ago

Do you have any keeper gloves? Just checking!

kendemange.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope Daniel Farke sustained a paper cut.

hutchyy.bsky.social•6 days ago

BlueSky equivalent of a twitter death threat lol
