I'm struggling to see how Marsch turns this around after 90 minutes that sums the team up perfectly. Plenty of effort in the 1st half, and we created some decent chances. But 2nd half we looked done in. No width, hardly any movement up top, everything down the left , nobody making the killer passes around the area. The squad is better than they're playing right now. But I don't think Marsch has the tactical repertoire or knowledge to make us more effective

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 4:21 pm  

That 2nd half was really poor. We need to find a way to keep Roca on for 90 minutes, he's the only midfielder we have who can progress the ball.

I doubt any other manager survives the run Marche has been on. He should go.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 4:49 pm  

The decision is now simple, replace Marsch or be relegated. He cannot get Leeds out of this mess, he doesn’t know how.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 4:55 pm  

they held onto bielsa way to long. doing the same now.
but they let him appoint an assistant last week...
and who do you appoint???

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 5:05 pm  

The tactic of only going down the left side and stacking it with 3 or 4 players drives me crazy. It doesn’t work. So much space on the right side that is never used.
There’s no plan b, Marsch is out of his depth

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 5:22 pm  

Marche, like Bielsa is a tactical ideologe. He only knows one way to play. As soon as Forest adjusted, we offered nothing. We're running out of winnable games. I'm not sure who they could get at this point, Corberan?

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 5:31 pm  

Agree with all that`s been said here.
He has no tactical savvy and Cooper showed he has in that second half.
77% possession is no good if you are getting beat.
We seem to be giving the ball to Gnonto every time and now defenders simply put 2 players on him so he can`t cut inside.
That said Sinesterra should have scored from Gnonto`s cross.
We need 2 Wobers on the pitch one to play LB the other CH.
Not sure we get Corboran especially as West Brom are pushing up the table.
It looks like we stick with him and see who can get us out of the Championship next year.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 5:44 pm  

Coberon? not for me. its time for experience and quality.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Feb 05, 2023 9:38 pm  

TBH I`m really not sure who we could get.
The top managers won`t come unless our owners invest 200 million on signings at least.
Frank at Brentford is one of the few that I wouldn`t mind.
Other than that we need to look overseas but no idea who that might be.
I`m now leaning towards JM not being good enough.
Before I felt it was that several of our players were of Championship quality.
On a positive we created enough chances 3 I reckon to have scored and win the game
2 from Sinesterra and 1 from Bamford.
2 wins against MU and wins against Everton and Southampton and I`ll be happy.

This. I cannot see how Marsch stays. I really can’t. But they have to get his replacement right and that’s not easy but something has to change. The owner and Orta need to earn their money big time now. We look like a relegation team today I’m sorry to say. I think the squad is better than that but the manager can’t get us going. That second half was woeful. Forrest were garbage and we barely threatened. Marsch doesn’t know how to adapt his tactics to any effect. The subs didn’t work at all Mckennie apart. Rutter got no service. Struijk is woeful.

Was surprised how poor Bamford played he was looking good in his last few games. Sinesterra looked really rusty too. What a bloody sitter he missed. We rely too much on Gnonto and there’s no goal threat from midfield at all, nobody from there gets into dangerous areas, I think that’s the managers tactics. Mckennie showed glimpses, we need him and Rutter to settle quickly. Rodrigo missing is huge.
