meslier is better than darlow but darlow is steadier. less errors.
that's my view.
stick or twist???
I think it's how the other players, especially the back 4 feel.
have they lost confidence in him? 
rodon and ampedu play with darlow at Wales remember.
honestly, I've no idea which way farke will go.

That's a good point Tad as I do feel the back 4 have lost it with Meslier and Rodon/Ampadu would prefer Darlow.
Farke can`t win. He sticks with Meslier who has another howler and fans will be onto him for not dropping him.
He goes with Darlow who messes up and fans will say he should have stuck with Meslier.
Oh to be a manager.
That`s what he gets paid for I guess.

yep. and lots of fans, ridiculously, hate him because he isn't bielsa! 

Darlow for me, he's been very solid for Wales. He's just played well in 2 internationals alongside James and Rodon and he of course has played alongside Ampadu many times for Wales now so he's not rusty. I actually think the lads will respond really well to Darlow too.


Watched a really interesting video on the Leeds squad under Farke last 2 years and it's looking like it's following the same pattern with a lack of rotation leading to burnout as it did last season...... and that's where Farke gets a lot of criticism.. I for one have backed him fully but his neck is on the line here... fingers crossed he's got it right. Does he have time to rotate at this stage??.... Ramazanni looks very rusty for example and he's a player who always needs lots of minutes to get the best out of him.. but can he take what would be a gamble or does playing the same squad lead to failure.... very very tough situation now and it's why we could have done with a nice points gap..

Surely hes got to give Darlow a chance, we just cant allow Meslier to make any more game changing errors. 


The whole team must have lost all confidence in Meslier now. 


We need the players focusing on their own jobs and not thinking about the goalkeeper. 

Totally agree mate 

yep. I'm sure conversations have been had  between captain and coach

I could understand why he didn't rotate the team last season, as there wasn't much depth, but this season there are no excuses for running them into the ground this season. 

The majority of the team should be sweating over their shirt on Saturday. The only nailed on starters because of their quality are Dan James up front, and Rodon, Bogle and Firpo at the back. Piroe is guaranteed a shirt despite being wishy washy because we simply don’t have another option. Solomon doesn’t have a single goal or assist in 7 games now, and that is Aaronson’s territory. He should be dropped really for Ramazani. Ampadu has been really poor at times during the second half of an injury hit season and would only be getting in on reputation alone at this stage. Aaronson has been on the cliff edge all season and the midfield has been ineffective recently so there’s decisions to be made there. Like I say, at least  half the team should be sweating.

Its a strange one, are the players hes not picking the ones he didnt want and the club bought anyway? 

Darlow should have been brought in by now. 


Schmidt hasnt played at all, he was scoring goals and getting MOTM's before he signed with us, now he cant get past Byram as back up full back.


Ramanzani showed glimpses before his injury but since has barely been given a chance


I've backed Farke this season but his lack of rotation could really cost us

it's been 5 games since james got an assist, let alone scored.
he's been the best of a poor attack and he hasn't been good.
I'd be tempted to go either ampedu/gruev or gruev/ tanaka as a solid midfield base.
then gnonto replacing aaronson, rest as you are.
Solomon and james need a quality performance. if they can get back to their best and midfield can provide a solid Base then we should win. we should anyway
