Everything Daniel Farke said when quizzed on Leeds United's attacking output after goalless Sunderland draw #lufc
leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds…
Is your glass half full or half empty?
Leeds have only lost 1 PL game in eight; but also only won 2
They could have been 5th; but are a noble 7th
All the while, it is notable that none of the starting attackers mustered a shot on a blustery Sunday #lufc

Daniel Farke press summary post-Sunderland
- Weather impacted game, draw a fair result; alludes to difficult week of training
- Asked how he starts to turn draws into wins
- Disagrees with notion that Leeds struggle to create from open play #lufc
leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds…
Daniel Farke: "For us, also a point in this game is is a good result, and never underestimate the draw, and never underestimate the position we are in." #lufc

Leeds United player ratings vs Sunderland
A chance missed but Leeds didn’t do enough to warrant anything more
Two starters in particular were poor #lufc

FT Sunderland 0-0 Leeds
Okafor made a difference after coming on but ultimately it is another deserved draw.
Winless in 4 only lost one in 8 PL games - 5 draws.
Away point never bad but Leeds need to find that final third edge. DCL had 0 shots #lufc

Stuart Attwell blows up against DCL when it was Luke O'Nien who clattered into Mukiele.
It is becoming a theme that DCL is getting punished a lot for little to nothing, just bc of his frame #lufc

HT Sunderland 0-0 Leeds
Blunt and bland from Leeds. A lot has been made of their poor open-play xG recently and this first half has been a case point
No shots on target, no central thrust. Bogle has been the only outlet, with DCL lacking support #lufc

Players are out. A chance for Leeds United to get their first win since September 14 #lufc
leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds…
Nico Elvedi is out through illness overnight #lufc
Dominic Calvert-Lewin starts. Noah Okafor and Anton Stach begin on the bench.
No Nico Elvedi - hence why Alfie Cresswell is in the squad
So Jaka Bijol starts a PL game for the first time since Aug 30, and Harry Wilson since the opening day #lufc

Dominic Calvert -Lewin, Noah Okafor and Anton Stach have all walked in with the squad
So has Alfie Cresswell #lufc
Daniel Farke says it’s "definitely not a realistic target" for Leeds United to qualify for Europe this season
Adds: "I’m not sure that it’s healthy if you overachieve so early in your journey as a club"
Leeds play bottom club Sunderland later #lufc
leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds…
Dominic Calvert-Lewin could well miss Sunday's game but there is hope it might not be anything more than that, as per Daniel Farke's comments #lufc

Daniel Farke press summary pre-Sunderland
- DCL, Okafor and Stach all doubts, all missed sessions
- Too early to tell with DCL how he will long it may take to recover
- Reiterates faith in Lukas Nmecha
- Thoughts on sub usage and keeping same XI #lufc
leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds…
DF: "All offensive players are doubtful, Calvert-Lewin is struggling with a bruise on his foot. Still a question mark behind his availability.
"Stach has a foot problem, and Okafor has some adductor problems. If game was today, nonne would play" #lufc
