Farke believes Leeds ‘deserve’ six more points this season | OneFootball

Daniel Farke says his side should have six points more this season after ‘unlucky’ results have not gone their way.

Leeds lost 2-1 at home to Tottenham in the Premier League but dominated large periods of the game with Joe Rodon and Dominic Calvert-Lewin both failing to convert huge chances.

The Leeds boss insisted that his side cannot dwell on missed opportunities and must keep going.

“If we would have won each of the points that we deserve, we would be there with at least six points more during the season,” he said. “Then we would be the talking point and would be in the top four.

“But this is also not realistic. It’s also quite normal that sometimes you can drop points, but you are unlucky not to win more points. If you then think about it and doubt yourself or feel sorry for yourself, this is when you struggle also to deliver a performance like this.

“I told the players, listen, yes, of course we are disappointed because there are no points on the table, but in five minutes you don’t even have to think about this game anymore.”

Despite the loss, the German was full of praise for his side’s performance against Spurs.

“I have to say just many compliments and congratulations to the lads for this performance,” he said. “After this game I would be normally disappointed even with a draw, not even to speak about a loss.

“We were the better side today, we were the better side in all aspects. We had more possession, we had more passes, we had more expected goals, we had more shots, we had more shots on target, we had more big chances created, we had big chances missed, we had more corners. In each and every aspect we were the better side today.

“Football is decided by goals, we missed too many of the good chances today in the first half and the second half.”
