Farke praises Leeds’ performance after Villa loss | OneFootball

Leeds boss Daniel Farke praises his side’s performance despite losing 2-1 to Aston Villa at Elland Road.

Leeds went ahead early on in the match thanks to a goal from Lukas Nmecha, but a brace from Morgan Rogers turned the game on its head.

Despite that, Farke explained that he was happy with his team’s performance.

“Performance-wise we’ve turned back to what we want to be,” he said to BBC Match of the Day. “We dominated many periods against a very good side. We should’ve taken some points from this game. We are not back to our best, we can still improve, but at the end we are just disappointed we did not get any points.

“To concede two goals is not good. As good as we are attacking down the left side at the moment we concede too many goals. We concede so quickly straight after the restart.

“Over the course of 38 games you have ups and downs. It happens sometimes at this level. Performance-wise I was happy. At the moment we are in a period where things are going against us.”

Even though he was happy with Leed’s performance in the match, the German says he understands the frustration from the fans.

“Of course the fans are unhappy and disappointed once we lose games,” he said. “I don’t want them to have a different reaction. I want them to feel like the world is falling apart when we lose a game, otherwise you can’t be a Leeds United supporter.

“I’m just fully focused on the performance. If we perform like this today we’ll win many more points.”
