DANIEL FARKE: I LOVE OUR ATTITUDE AND MENTALITY - Leedsunited.com 21/8/23
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke spoke exclusively to LUTV following Friday’s draw with West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road.
The Whites came from behind to pick up a point against the
Baggies, following a controversial opener, thanks to Luke Ayling’s second half
header.
Farke was pleased with the performance, but felt his side
should have taken all three points from the game.
“I just have compliments for my lads, I’m really happy with
the workload that we put in.
“Obviously it was difficult circumstances during the week,
but we played one of the contenders for promotion and West Brom’s youngest
player was older than our average age in our whole squad, so this says a lot,
we were up against a very experienced side.
“We were by far the better side, we had more possession,
15-3 shots and we should have won the game.
“Sometimes these things happen in football, in the first
three league games we have conceded six shots on target and five goals.
“West Brom’s goal was handball and offside, if there was VAR
it would have been ruled out.
“We created chance after chance, we hit the inside of the
post and the ball went out, but this is football and these things happen.
“You have to show spirit, dig in and grind out results, I
wish the lads could have been rewarded with the three points, but I like we are
still unbeaten in home games.
“I love our attitude and mentality that we never know when
we are beaten, we turned the game against an experienced side, completely.
“When we needed our supporters the most, they were there,
the atmosphere was electric.”
