Not the sexiest’ – Leeds United boss Daniel Farke’s one criticism after Burnley bore draw
Not the sexiest’ – Leeds United boss Daniel Farke’s one criticism after Burnley bore draw
It was, as Farke had predicted, a tight game but it was one that gave the paying public next to nothing in
the way of excitement. The evening’s solitary shot on target, a spectacular one, came in
the 88th minute from the boot of Daniel James and it would have separated the sides had it not been for an equally
good save from James Trafford.
Farke had just one criticism of his side – their composure or confidence in the final third – but overall was delighted with
how they performed against a top-three opponent. “Good result for us, good point on the road,” he said. “Happy with the clean sheet,
our defensive behaviour. Two of the best sides in the league, difficult game, difficult circumstances with the weather. They’re on a massive unbeaten run as well, especially at home. It was a game of few mistakes. Both teams were there without crucial mistakes, both teams were struggling to create enough chances.
“I’m pretty happy with how we controlled their processes without the ball. I wish we would have been a bit more confident and committed with the ball. Of course when a chance comes along you have to be a bit more on it. In the build-up and midfield play we were patient enough but the final decision, pass or finish could have been a bit more convincing or committed or better prepared. That’s the only thing I could criticise a little bit.”
