Leeds dressing room mood after Palace draw as Tarik Muharemovic stresses unbeaten start | OneFootball

Daniel Farke urged perspective after Leeds United’s goalless draw with Crystal Palace, praising the defensive work while accepting his side lacked punch in attack.

According to Leeds Live, the stalemate brought a second Premier League clean sheet and a joint-lowest goals-against record for Leeds of three after five fixtures. Farke also felt his players failed to win first and second balls.

Tarik Muharemovic said Farke told the squad he was proud and that they could be proud of staying unbeaten. He added he thinks being unbeaten after five games is no small thing and that he is happy they keep collecting points. He acknowledged three would have been better, but said games like this happen and the group will stick together.

Farke noted a sense of disappointment in the dressing room after full-time, with players, like supporters, hoping to be third before the international break. The draw left them fifth instead, after missing the chance to reach 11 points.

He said the message mixed an arm around the shoulder with clear areas to improve, without losing sight of the wider progress. After five games Leeds have nine points, strong defensive habits and remain among the few unbeaten Premier League sides. He stressed it was important they travel in good spirits and look after themselves during the break.
