I completely appreciate that we don’t see what happens behind closed doors and Farke will have information about these players that supporters don’t. He’s also achieved a great deal at Leeds that deserves recognition. But success shouldn’t make a manager immune from criticism, particularly when it comes to player development, squad management and the consistency of his decision making. For me the concern isn’t simply that certain players aren’t being selected. It’s that the pathway into the team sometimes appears incredibly narrow, while the pathway out of it seems much easier. Once Farke loses faith in somebody, it can feel almost impossible for that player to change his mind. I’d genuinely like to know whether others see the same pattern, because I think there’s legitimate conversations to be had about whether farke’s loyalty to his favourites sometimes comes at the expanse of getting the most out of the wider squad. Rant over 😭
