Decent chance for Leeds. Ampadu goes long, first-time over the top for James to race onto. Gets the better of Gvardiol, manages to square for Nmecha/Gnonto. Former takes it on, but blazed miles over. #lufc

Good save from Perri. Foden caught it beautifully and the goalkeeper had to get a strong hand to it. Gvardiol totally free from the corner though... #lufc

Doku and O'Reilly cut through United's right, low cross gets a shot from Foden, great block by Justin, then Gruev blocks the follow-up. #lufc

Leeds have responded decently to that early bombshell. Nmecha, James and Gnonto stretching things, but haven't had the final ball. Struijk's gone close on a free-kick too. #lufc

Farke remains convinced he can turn the tide.
⚪ "17th would be great success."
⚪ “When I judge the objective data, that gives me lots of confidence."
⚪ "We are in the top two, with Man City, for physical output."
⚪ Against NEW, FUL, BOU, TOT, BUR, AVL "(data shows) we were the better side."

DF: "If you judge objective data, we were in six games the better side, but without the points. More individual quality, means moments like Rogers's on Sunday or a perfect tackle. I said what we needed in the summer to be competitive. I said I will not complain once about the window." #lufc

DF: "Leverkusen had more than 40 per cent possession. If we go long, lose the ball, waste time, 20 per cent possession, we will crack under pressure. Need periods to keep ball. We will go long when it suits us. Need a striker to hold the ball. If direct is our only plan, we will not stay up." #lufc

DF: "It's not enjoyable at the moment because there's lots of stick. Did not deserve to lose to Villa. Performance really good in many aspects, but if you don't win, it's hard to win the momentum back. We are competitors and it's nice to have challenges like this (vs Pep)." #lufc

DF: "It's not that we dwell under pressure. It's more he (Aaronson) deals with this in proper way. Had stick since first day back here. Work together, win together, lose together. Never finger-point. Does not mean he plays every game from now. I doubt he will play 3 x 90 mins over next week." #lufc

DF: "We have to add effectiveness and clinical edge. What I work on with the players. Improve this over the season. Use January to add a bit more. Improve little details, using chances, clinical defending. Fully convinced this group can improve." #lufc

DF: "I was aware what happens with such a passionate club. There were many doubts during last season. We want to be the first side in 25 years to establish this club in the PL. When I judge our games, we are in the top two, with City, for physical output. Good fitness level and mentality." #lufc

DF: "The goal is to finish 17th. Did not expect easy ride. Had to work with limited resources. Challenges in summer window. Everyone (outside) expected an easy cruise to ninth or 10th. I did not expect this. Ups and downs happen to every team over 38 games." #lufc

DF: "Overall, many players in training, but Stach will miss City due to following concussion protocol. Only allowed to return on Sunday if everything goes his way. Sadly, Longstaff misses game with calf injury. Suffered during last game. Four to six weeks out." #lufc

'Make a sub!'
'You don't know what you're doing!'
This is the most pronounced dissent among the home faithful during Farke’s tenure.
He knows where he stands with them, right now, but where will he stand with the ownership over the coming days? #lufc

Farke is walking a tightrope and the fans have lost patience. The board have a big decision to make
The Leeds manager is in a perilous position following his side's dismal run and may not be in charge for the daunting upcoming fixtures
