Some of the football we are playing this season is becoming unbearable to watch. No better than under Pulis or Ismael.
I missed the first 20 minutes today, but watched thereafter.
All I saw was us sat far too deep, passing around in dangerous areas inviting pressure. The equaliser was inevitable because we couldn't get out, with everyone camped in our own box.
As per Tuesday, we seemed reluctant to go forward even when we had the opportunity to do so. There were so many occasions when players received the ball with their back to goal and chose to play first time balls backwards, despite having time to turn and drive forwards.
There was one move when both Dobbin and Heggem both got to the byline in good crossing positions, but we decided to work the ball backwards to Alex Palmer.
I don't understand why we're scared to play forwards, when we're happy to pass around at the back and dice with death in dangerous areas.
I'm all for passing backwards to put out a fire. But recycling possession only works when there is an end goal to eventually shift the opposition into a position where you can go forward. We seem happy to just keep recycling for recycling sake, clueless about how it's ever going to lead to one of our own attacks.
Why does Mikey Johnston keep getting dropped? The lad needs a run of 4-5 games in the team to see if he can get back to form. The most he has had is 2 consecutive games. Is it any surprise his confidence is shot? Surely Corberan should've been confident in him when we bought him in the summer....
And what's with the constant tinkering. Just decide if it's Mulumby or Racic and stick with it.
Part of me wants Leeds to sack Farke and come in for Corberan now. I'd hate to call for his head after the job he's done in the past 2 years, but I can see the way this is going...
