I lost faith in Farke at that point. i don;t think i ever called for him to be sacked

though because I felt at the time he had been handed a bit of a poisoned chalice. I've always felt Farke was a decent coach on the training ground although I didn;t think we always came out fired up enough and I had (and still do to a degree) some doubts about his ability to organise the defence against crosses and set pieces and I still think we look iffy in that regard even when romping to wins due to our firepower.

You are right though around the time of that Leeds game a lot of us lost faith, I think particularly as Bielsa had come in and made such a quick impact at Leeds who had obviously just stuffed us.

The media, however, make it sound like fans were chanting and publically calling or putting pressure on for him to be sacked. That simply did not happen.
