Leeds sitting pretty at 10th after solid start under Farke

Leeds United are tenth in the Premier League after ten games, two points off a Champions League place, with just two defeats so far.

Leeds United are tenth in the Premier League after ten games under Daniel Farke, sitting two points off a potential Champions League place. The team have won enough and lost only twice, establishing themselves as difficult to break down with just eight goals conceded, averaging less than one goal conceded per game.

However, Leeds continue to struggle in attack, averaging just one goal per game and finding it difficult to score with regularity. This contrasts with their defensive solidity and creates what supporters describe as a mixed picture: the high of a demolition of Newcastle alongside frustration from a goalless run in which points were dropped.

A survey of almost 1,400 Leeds supporters found that over three-quarters, or 77 per cent, described the season so far as good but with room for improvement. Former Norwich player Matt Jarvis, who played under Farke, praised the manager for learning from his time in the Premier League with Norwich and adapting his approach. Jarvis said Farke 'has learned and adapted' and that 'the job he's doing is magnificent', noting that Farke's harsh tactical lessons from Norwich have been applied successfully at Leeds.
