Now Daniel Farke should not get all the blame for Leeds coming out weak in the world’s toughest league. After all, only Marcelo Bielsa has shown Leeds in recent decades can assert themselves in the top division. However, it is interesting to experience that when the English media reports Farke has two games to save his job, the result is a total makeover.
We wrote at the end of November Daniel Farke is almost guaranteed to be fired. When Leeds had secured another promotion to the Premier League last summer, it didn’t take many days before reports emerged that the club management was thinking hard about getting rid of the manager who had brought them back to the top flight. Daniel Farke still got a little bit of optimism with the German at the helm at Elland Road. Then the season started, 12 games into the season with 11 points, and Farke faces the football wrath of Leeds supporters.

According to Football Insider’s sources, Leeds management had decided Farke had two games to save his job at Leeds, two of the toughest of the season. One against Manchester City, the other against Chelsea. City narrowly carved their way to a 3-2 win with extra time, on Wednesday Leeds waltzed over Chelsea with a 3-1 victory. Of course, it tasted extra good that the victory against one of the league’s best came at Elland Road.
Chelsea manager Maresca summed it up well: “It’s not about ball possession. I think they were better than us on all parameters – they deserved to win. “
