Leeds United have struggled to score first and conceded too easily for too long yet Daniel Farke has overseen signs of life and fight
Norwich City’s underwhelming start to 2018/19’s Championship title challenge is the crutch Daniel Farke reached to for reassurance after Leeds United’s latest draw. The Canaries began with four points from five games before romping to 94 points and that’s the little sanity check for anyone losing their mind over the Whites’ set of six from 15.
Opta statistician Jonny Cooper recently fleshed out some very telling trends on The Square Ball podcast. He said this is the first season in the club’s history the team has failed to score first in any of their opening seven competitive games.Further to that, he said, since Marcelo Bielsa was sacked in February 2022, United have scored first and then kept a clean sheet on just three occasions.
The clean sheet against Sheffield Wednesday was at least some semblance of progress at the back, but overall, they need to cure this slow-starting issue. The Whites cannot keep relying on comebacks and Farke’s style will help that cause.
