re: Leeds United 2022/23 Season-Long Thread: Let’s Farke shite up

I really wanted Weston last summer. He’s picked up a few more injuries since then. Would prefer Ounahi or my boy Enzo Le Fee but if the price is right go for it.

Instead of a midfielder, shouldn’t we be signing a defender? Or is the best defense a great offense?

Edit - guess the midfield is a second line of defense? Shore it up and your defense improves as well.

I need to find a “soccer for dummies”.

in our case the system leaves them exposed in transitions when we are trying to press or when we turn it over and have too many players forward. It was frustrating watching us continue to try and attack right through the middle on Sunday. We need width which obviously Marsch doesn’t want. The below graphic gave me AIDS. Notice how Aaronson is on the ball and Adams, Roca and Harrison are all like “the spider man pointing at spider man” meme



Also notice how Ayling is the only “wide” player and our fullbacks have to provide the width. Now if we turn it over the whole right side is wide open begging for a counterattack

I’d love to see Marsch go with more width and a mid block but it won’t happen.


Notice #3


Marsch is getting the Ted Lasso treatment on Twitter for that sign but it’s nothing over the top and pretty standard. The minimal width tho

Right

I remember seeing it in the game and thinking “this will generate some discussion.”

Seems smart when some of Leeds better player are wingers

Yep. Summerville, Sinisterra, Harrison, Gnonto, Aaronson. Summy is having a breakout season so fair play but i want to see him practically hugging the sideline like Raph

Accrington Stanley up 1-0 in extra time

Thanks for the breakdown, S! That all makes sense but not something id have noticed on my own!

No more excuses. Time to win some games.

Yeah definitely no excuses now with this hire and what they’re investing this window, assuming they get Weston or another midfielder over the line. But it probably also suggests the rope is longer than what the table and fixtures suggest. They aren’t going to do all of this if they’re considering sacking him during, or at the end, of this manageable run of games. He’s probably got a couple more months at least unless things just completely fall apart.
