Daniel Farke: We know we have to be more efficient — Leedsunited.com 22/11/24

Leeds United are in Sky Bet Championship action on Sunday afternoon, facing Swansea City away from home.

The Whites head to South Wales for the 3pm kick-off, returning to playing after the recent international break.

Ahead of the game, Daniel Farke gave his thoughts to the media and previewed our upcoming opponents.

“I think in the last 10 games, they have just one game when they've conceded more than one goal,” the boss said, discussing the Swans.

“Apart from this, it was always conceding just one goal and quite often also clean sheet. It's a really good possession side.

“I think in terms of possession, the second highest average in the league, so obviously it's not easy to get the ball. This is also one of the reasons why it's so difficult to score goals against them.

“If they are there with more than 60 per cent possession and you just have the ball for 40 per cent of the game, it's difficult to score goals.

“So we want to make sure that we dominate this game, that we dominate possession, that we have the ball much more than all the other opponents had against Swansea in the last games.

“In order to give ourselves the chances to create perhaps more and then also to score more goals, we also know that we have to be efficient and also more efficient than we were with our conversion rate.

“Perhaps sometimes in some of our last games we were sometimes a bit wasteful.

“So especially in a difficult game on the road, we also know that we have to be on it and have to make sure that we create as many chances as possible.”
