In the latest episode of Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet, BBC Radio Leeds’ Jonny Buchan raised a question about whether manager Daniel Farke has a strong enough “plan B” for fixtures. The episode gained popularity 24 hours after Leeds United missed out on promotion at Wembley.
Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix added to the discussion by highlighting the clear patterns of play under Bielsa that focused on training players to make decisions that would lead to scoring goals. However, this year has seen a shift towards trying not to concede goals and relying on individual players to create magic on the pitch.
Leeds United reporter Adam Pope shared his thoughts by suggesting that Farke might argue against criticisms of his tactics. One area of critique was the late introduction of substitutes, with fans expecting changes closer to half time. Despite this, Pope acknowledged Farke’s achievements and believed that the manager has done a remarkable job overall. Looking ahead, Pope expressed his own expectations for Leeds United’s performance and Farke’s future success.
