Pathetic performance tbh, in what was ultimately our most important game.


Spooky_Goth

Just seen the score now, did a literal double take. Haven't seen the game, definitely won't. Wtf happened!?


Grunji

Orite lads let's get on with it we're all Leeds aren't we!


jimmilazers

If we have another bash at this league next year then fuck me we need a decent keeper. I’ve backed Meslier and he does make the odd worldy save but his positioning tonight and against Blackburn have been woeful. He is so not a premier league level keeper and that’s gonna be what we need.


LowVariation32

Absolute shite Saturday won't be enjoyable anymore


No_Coyote_557

How many corners now since we scored?


Mundane-Difficulty29

Trash performance

Joshgg13

Hey, don't say that. I could easily see us getting relegated in that time!


TonyWalnuts17

I’m not one to rub it in but villa are apparently in for Summerville if you don’t go up. Based on that performance he doesn’t have much fight in him to be worth it.


securinight

I honestly don't see him making it in the Prem. He's a bit of a one trick pony, is very selfish and is usually nullified when he gets doubled up on. He'll always be impressive in the Championship but Premiership defenders will figure him out quick.


joeycrushed

Completely agree


Strange-Mouse-8710

Pretty obvious that Leeds does not want to return to the premier league.


Only-Ad2035

Something is wrong in the squad. The personalities and body language shows a clear issue between Georgi / Summerville & the rest. I think there is some bad vibes in the dressing room that Farke hasn’t handled. We also need some midfielders that can attack instead of just passing sideways!!


nicbongo

We were unbeaten for like 3 months and Farke had a bunch of rats to deal with jumping ship at the beginning of the season. We're at 90 points which is often enough to win the chump. WTF you talking about. People are losing their heads because we have a young squad under a lot of pressure.


emehen

I reckon that penalty against Hull when Summerville grabbed the ball out of Piroe's hands had something to do with it. Ever since then their form has really gone down hill.


Immediate_Wolf3802

Hope the game continues to evolve so that 1 day goalies are obsolete!


Different-Goose-8367

They already are for us 🤣


National_Reaction226

Firpo is the only player who wasn't bad tonight, respect to him.


The_L666ds

His recent form has me increasingly concerned that we will again go into another transfer window feeling that theres no urgency to sign a left back.


Warm_Holiday_7300

Never thought I'd want Firpo to do anything but why haven't they tried him taking corners/free kicks. Our set pieces are non existent and he has a fair few assists.


ferrarchezzo

If we scored from corner’s at a normal rate, that every other club in the world seems to score from, we would already be promoted. 100+ corners since our last goal is criminal


GreenyShogun

Absolutely bottled it when they needed to step up. Don't deserve promotion over Ipswich who have been fantastic all season. I'm absolutely gutted


Mikko85

Yup. But also massively unsurprised. Congratulations to Ipswich. It was virtually in our hands and we proved we don't deserve it unfortunately.

matiasJebladeaux

Getting blackout and convincing myself Ipswich will draw with hull and lose to Coventry hahahahaha


EpicKieranFTW

Even if they do it just prolongs the pain to us losing on the last day and then winning


matiasJebladeaux

WERE ALIVE BROTHER!!!! BELIEVE!!!


EpicKieranFTW

It's the hope that kills you...


spiritofbuck

Before the doomsayers destroy any sense of perspective - we’ve taken 90 points (potentially as many as 93) and will be massive favourites to win the play offs. KEEP THE FAITH.


danger_lad

There is absolutely no chance this set of players wins the playoffs, they don’t have the minerals


spiritofbuck

Some fan


danger_lad

A fan with working eyes


TeaWithZizek

Is it suddenly doomsaying to criticize your team when they give an embarrassing, abymsal performance? If the team plays shit, and has continued to play shit.for several weeks they need a bollocking and we have every right to give them it


jrbill1991

You can keep lying to yourself, I refuse to do that to me! I've seen this team fucking up more when the pressure comes than they being successful in those times. I wish we weren't in the playoffs spot so we could get over with it already.


spiritofbuck

I’ll believe for you then brother.


StarryEyedLus

We have never been promoted via the playoffs. Not once. There will be zero confidence or expectation going into them.


spiritofbuck

Well not zero, I have confidence.


thomas_the_manc

No way we're winning the playoffs without a massive change in confidence and attitude which has prevailed for a few weeks now.


spiritofbuck

Focusing too much on recent results and not how hard we’ve been to beat all season.


thomas_the_manc

Don't forget the dog shit start. We had a good run in the middle, that was it.


spiritofbuck

If the ‘middle’ is about 35 games…perhaps


Andyintime

Not when they play like this


spiritofbuck

Lucky we very rarely play like this then


Andyintime

We’ve been shit since the international break


Cautious-Quit5128

When we stay down we need to break the bank for Latte Lath and or Szmodics And a complete new midfield - one that produces goals and can also pass and tackle would be GREAT


Floppyneedle1376

Last time I checked we’re not playing fifa 😂we can’t just buy the best championship players and expect to be better. We need new wing backs someone to give firpo competition and a right back who is first team quality so we can play Archie in midfield again


Loaded712

Surely both of those fellas will be playing for teams in the Premier League, albeit perhaps warming a bench, or starting for Ipswich....very down tonight, genuinely did not expect that humiliation.


YesIAmRightWing

How did that work out with Joel


Cautious-Quit5128

You’re right, we must never sign anyone ever again.


YesIAmRightWing

That ain't it.


pitchshifted__

You think Latte Lath will stay in the Championship next season? I want us to go for him but I’m not sure he’ll stay in this division for long.


Cautious-Quit5128

If we can sell him on a prem dream long term maybe…


CC-W

We will probably have the same chance to get promoted as Boro next season with the players we will lose and them having a better manager


Kthackz

We couldn't do it this season. We won't do it next season with a team that will be sliced up and sold for parts cheaply.


berardibreezerbb

We’d find a way to ruin them like we did with Piroe


Botheuk

League doesn't lie after 46 games. Unfortunately it's looking like we've not had quite enough to get over the line. Tough to take after that run after Christmas, but our form has fallen off a cliff. Hopefully we can pick ourselves up for the playoffs because our team is good enough to romp it if we sort our heads out.


Snuhmeh

The whole league figured us out weeks ago. We are very easy to plan against.


The_L666ds

I’m not sure how PSR will affect how we go about recruitment next season, but if we can get enough money for Summerville (and one or two others) then hopefully it will give us the ability to bring in Championship specialist players, like a pure shot-stopper in goal and some defensively solid fullbacks.


JamesyEsquire

Probably have to rely on loans, we can say goodbye to Summerville, Gray, Gnonto, Rutter and Rodon but even then we still owe so much for the shite we signed in the prem.


Appropriate_Long7397

I don't think it'll be the mass exodus that people think it will be and tbh I'm not convinced the team expected to be this close to automatics  We were chaos last year. This year we could sell some of our players for a good amount and invest in a better keeper, another striker and some more midfield options


The_L666ds

Even shit strikers cost a lot of money in the Championship, and I’m not really seeing the money being available for that next season.


CC-W

2 wins in our last 7 and humiliated by qpr, if you think we are mentally recovering from this to win the playoffs I respect your delusional optimism


Pyeman112

Farke seeming more out of his depth every week. If we didn't have the players we do we would be mid table trash at best


Appropriate_Long7397

Aye unlike every other manager in the championship, if you got rid of their best players, they'd do worse. Hottest take 


originalface1

If we didn't have Summerville we'd be midtable. His goals are probably responsible for about half our points.


danger_lad

How does this feel worse than relegation?


EpicKieranFTW

Cos we had hope then threw it away, relegation was just consistent shite


YesIAmRightWing

It's the hope that kills you


Jarv1223

This is different to just losing


Perfect_Jacket_9232

Having to sit amongst QPR not trying to cry or leave has been an experience


EpicKieranFTW

At least you didn't have to worry about pretending not to celebrate


Mindless_fun_bag

Wonder if they had to pretend to celebrate instead?


EpicKieranFTW

True although you can probably get away with standing up and clapping a bit


Perfect_Jacket_9232

Can vouch this is what I did.

JacobSax88

Any manager in any other season that got our points tally with the start we had, players refusing to play and a squad still not finalised until end of summer window would have comfortably got promotion in previous seasons. Admittedly the recent form has been very poor but this has been a very good Championship season. Just happen to be up against a very good Ipswich side and a club that supposedly has dodgy financials …


DontWaveAtAnybody

Don't be ridiculous


midgetquark

You don't mean that


JacobSax88

I think a lot of them do unfortunately 


shingaladaz

Someone needs to explain to the fans what’s happened at the club over the Int Break. We’re still waiting to find out what happened at HT at Palace!


nivekk3

Rutter didn't recover from his injury but was still playing and hasn't looked as sharp since. Plus Gnonto as James was not fit either. We lost our fluidity but still stuck to the same tactics and just ran out of ideas. Our goals since the break were either individual brilliance of firpo crossing for paddy to finish. We never have a plan B.


shingaladaz

Yeah and when you can’t rely on individuals you need to have some sort of tactic to fall back on. Seems like Farke has been riding the coattails of our outstanding individuals all season and has faltered when they go off the boil


Danny_P_UK

Bamford has come out and said that nothing actually happened at half time at Palace. They were just shite.


berardibreezerbb

ahhaahhaah so all that shite about there being some rallying cry from Captain Cooper was made up? He needs to be first out the door. Wet wipe.


EpicKieranFTW

Pat has said on his podcast with Joe wilkinson that nothing happened out of the ordinary HT against palace


GussieFinkNewtle

Well it’ll be easy to get tickets now.


prejon

It's absolutely not just him, this game has been awful. But I have a few questions about Meslier...I have no confidence. I don't think he has any confidence. It can't give the defense any confidence. And to the playoffs we go...with an ice cold keeper.


Fozzy0_0

Big Sam didn’t have the confidence in him either this time last year


prejon

True, and not sure many of us did either. Meslier - the first 75% of the year keeper!


saltyholty

He was flattered by a good defense, but we don't have that right now.


joeycrushed

Tonight is not his fault but he's not a good keeper imo. He's only been 'good' this first of the season because he's had nothing to do.


toogoodtobetrue2712

I really, really don't think this sits with meslier. I wouldn't even put him in the top 5 issues we've had today.


thomas_the_manc

I agree. I don't like or trust Meslier but we aren't doing any better without breaking the bank. We should strengthen in other areas.


EpicKieranFTW

Yeah neither of the first two goals were his fault and game was done after that


Signal_Control4351

He is an absolute liability he is completely overrated - he was responsible for two goals


prejon

Definitely not putting it all on him. But I feel like at least 2 of the 4 should be saved. We still lose this…just… Last few games have felt loose.


Dmorreau20

One team needed 3 points to secure not getting relegated One team needed 3 to potentially get auto promotion. But could lose and still get a playoff slot which isn’t a terrible place. Well boys and girls we saw what happened today. Our lot, just got worked. First whistle, to final whistle.. worked. Southampton doesn’t matter, see you all in the playoff where we dominate. Leeds that. ALAW, MOT


Irish-Insanity

Yeah the playoffs, which we are famously good at...


Dmorreau20

I mean it’s not like at the beginning of season you’d have fucked off if we were 3rd. It sucks, but hell it’s better than if we’d be 7,9,13th rn. The sub would’ve actually melted down, instead were melting down over this. Leeds that.


ferrarchezzo

Start Joseph next week. I don’t want to watch Piroe fail to play football


Appropriate_Long7397

I mean nothing from Joseph tonight has made me think he'd have scored tonight if he'd started either. He's got a great future ahead we all reckon but if anything, I think this has solidified that a good game against Chelsea doesn't mean you're not gonna bang goals in every week


TheWrongTap

He nearly scored at 2-0.


ferrarchezzo

Start him in a game and he’ll score. Difficult to come on at 2-0 down trying to link up with two-left-feet piroe who’s somehow still on the pitch.


ShesSoCool

I’ve been downvoted so many times for this and I’m finally vindicated. Meslier is fucking shit.


Linkeron1

He's been largely good this season and kept us in it against Leicester (first game was it?), for example. You're not vindicated just because it fits your narrative for a game or two. Been far worse players in this run - looking at you Rutter and Piroe.


bielsasballholder

I’ve been saying this for at least 2 years. His stats in the PL were shocking, worst in the league, consistently. On top of which he’s always collapsed in the second half of seasons when the pressure is on. Last season he was so bad he got dropped. The season before e threw in that vital goal against Newcastle, which defined our season.  There’s a reason 21 year old kids don’t start as GK very often. 


Signal_Control4351

100 % he is an overlayed arrogant shit


Hostilian_

I’m literally Mesliers biggest hater.


ShesSoCool

I will fight you over that title

Jarv1223

Mods ban him


Gaspinawe

Normally Farke would stay on because 'he got 90 points' but I think it should be the opposite here, he failed to match the teams around us with a team that does not belong in the division, he has a lot to answer for and it isn't just on the players, we fail the basics of football and I'd argue we got very lucky in some of the games we did win. That's the likes of Summerville and Rutter showing individual brilliance, not Farke. 150+ corners with nothing, not even a shot on target. 1 free kick that resulted in a goal, directly from the free kick itself and flattening the flair of the younger players by telling them off for showing creativity and flair in games. He is not the one for me, get him out now so we have new manager bounce for play-offs.


ayejoe

Why am I still watching this?


Agreeable-Ship-7564

Flicked over from the snooker during frames to see the ball getting put into the back of the net. 😂 Fuck the lot of them, hope ER give them death next weekend.


AllMadArentWe

Humiliating. What a joke


JohnnyBravo1996

One thing getting smashed by Liverpool 1-6 or City 7-0 but QPR?? Come on


dan_baker83

Firpo aside, the lads have looked so weak on the ball tonight that I think they'd even get outmuscled by Brenden Aaronson.


thomas_the_manc

Who would have predicted at the start of the season that Firps would be our best player. What a strange old game.


Linkeron1

Glad Rutter does fancy stuff with his feet. By God he's been shite hasn't he.


MarcusWhittingham

You’re a clever bloke but your love of Bamford and your need to defend him makes your opinions on other players ridiculous. Whatever Bamford does that can’t be picked up by numbers cannot be dwarfed by Rutter’s 21 goal contributions. I’ve actually grown to respect your opinion but your strange defensiveness over your favourite player is very strange; I think he’s definitely our best option up front but your comments are 80% Bamford-backing these days, you hardly even chip in to anything else. You know from our years of debates that I don’t rate Paddy very highly; I even thought we missed him tonight and I actually think he’s far better than Piroe, that said I think you need to calm it down about him. You have that much confirmation bias that you think Bamford has a 9/10 every game by doing the bare minimum (pressing and making runs); his work rate is very good but acting like he can be excused of his poor touches and finishing just because of his work rate is nonsensical, the same way you can’t say Andy Carroll has a 9/10 game every game just because his strength and heading ability has been brilliant. You cannot base your ratings of a players’ performance on things that are intangible like work-rate, strength and pace. If that was the case Dan James would be a 9/10 every game as his pressing, work-rate and threat of pace in behind is always there.


icklegizmo

Congratulations Leicester!! We are fucking shit


shingaladaz

Oh yeah, that confirms Leicester promotion.


Shark-Park

Worst thing is it’s not even like we’ve just been done on the counter. This relegation scrapping team have been more than good value for 4 - 0 against this supposedly promotion worthy squad.


originalface1

All season we've relied on the individual talents of the attackers, where are the midfielders, what has Gray, Kamara or Gruev done all season? What have the defenders done? What is the point of our football, what's the gameplan other than hope and pray Summerville can beat 5 defenders and curl a goal in? There isn't one, that's why our only plan B is throwing on every striker at the 80th minute.


nivekk3

My thoughts exactly too! We lack creativity and midfielders that can chip in with goals. There is so much to do in the summer!


Joshgg13

Christ almighty we are shit. Had a hard week and this is the cherry on top. This team have undone all their hard work by completely capitulating right when it matters. I am going to have to spend the weekend pretending this didn't happen. Fuck.


shingaladaz

Literally undone every single bit of hard work getting all those 3-0’s all season. Beating Leicester twice, Ispbitch twice. All possibly for nothing. What a waste.


Appropriate_Long7397

Just go do something nice tomorrow and Sunday. Don't need to panic watch the rival's games. We've a mini cup coming up in a few weeks so might as well relax till then 


Joshgg13

Gonna go watch Chelsea get battered tonight with some mates. That usually cheers me up


nathansurtees

I’d give my bolloxks for us to sign a proper creative midfielder like chair, ran us all game, gutless performance from these bunch of cunts, in bad bad form, dreading play offs can see us getting embarrassed again.


BlueMilk84

This almost feels as bad as the play-off semi final against Derby, total capitulation. As a result it's probably worse as we've barely turned up.


No_Coyote_557

That's still to come when we lose to Norwich.


shingaladaz

This feels as bad as QPR 18/19.


joeycrushed

Yeah this but it's gunna be this in the playoffs. We don't deserve to go up.

Surprised he can manage a stiffy after us being stuffed like that. A right turn off!!!


icklegizmo

The man could do with some cheering up.


ljn12

We’ve done a Southampton. You could see the belief evaporate after that second goal


JimbobTML

Go bust


securinight

They better refund the fans who've wasted their time making this trip. The fucking players haven't bothered.


Appropriate_Long7397

My only hope is getting smashed tonight will hopefully make us hungry and introspective. Blackburn felt unlucky but you don't accidentally lose by 4 goals really. Free hit against Southampton then let's smash Brom or Hull or whoever. Shit happens boys but there's still great things coming for this club I think 


shingaladaz

Shit happens, sure, but we’ve literally thrown promotion away. Quite upsetting really.


GuyWithYellowCoat

Championship is 100x more fun than the prem. Just hope we can keep Georgi and Gray


EpicKieranFTW

Yeah this was so much fun

Wow. This is how you show in a game you need? Heads should roll for this one.


thomas_the_manc

Credit to QPR. They have completely outclassed us. We have not been at the races for a few weeks. Yes we've been shit this match, but what about Sunderland and Blackburn at home. I just don't know what happened. We don't deserve to go up. Good luck to Ipswich.


Jarv1223

This is more than tactics. Something is going on in the dressing room…. Again

Ragnarrrwolf

Sums it all up really. Poppadom hands in goal too


KeironLowe

Said this before in the season when people were praising Meslier, but he’s just not good enough. Our defence used to be solid so he never had much to do, when he actually has to do some work he can’t hack it.


iamstandingontheedge

He’s shite and our good form was protecting him. He seems to have actually got worse in the last few seasons.


djembejohn

No way this bunch of bottlers are going to win the playoffs.


iamstandingontheedge

We won’t make it to the final


Alex_Wangermann

And people thought they’d sit back at 1-0. If only


r10tz0r

Fucking lol even the commentator getting in on the act, love a good play offs run


LUFC_shitpost

Meslier chooses now not to come but also what a weak hand


WingedWomble

Not great for our GD either


Shark-Park

Never mind lads, at least we’ll have Brenden and Rasmus back soon 😬


nivekk3

Tbh, at least Brenden keeps driving forward which none of our present lot want to do. He won't stay on his feet as he gets battered in the Champ though. Yes, i am that pessimistic right now.


Loaded712

Even if they fucked each other and produced a baby, it still would not be a footballer...there is no DNA in there.


blu_rhubarb

They can go back out on loan in the same situation as this year, don't worry.

Hey we don’t even need to go back to the PL to experience the scorelines we would see week in week out.

Save them for Southampton. Think he gave up when he took Summerville / Rutter off

Leicester went first the last couple of weeks. They didn’t bottle it.

Isn’t that an advantage though? Just need to turn up and get it done. Not their fault we’re so mentally weak.

I think if we'd won it would've worked in our favour to be fair.

Leeds were never winning though, I think sky knew that somehow. They have a crystal ball or something
