Daniel Farke said everything about Leeds United’s draw, including finishing, Piroe, Rodon, Gnonto, and Byram.
Leeds United boss was commenting after his team’s 0-0 draw with Hull City.
Daniel, how valid was that in the circumstances?
That is an excellent point. Yes. If you had offered me a point on the road after a long journey to Millwall, knowing that Hull had also had a strong start to the season, I would have accepted. This is a really strong and good football team, and if you offered me a clean sheet at one point, I wouldn’t have taken it because I always want to go for three points, but I would have said it would be a good result.
After this game, I’m torn because I had the impression that after 65 minutes, it wasn’t a matter of if we’d take the lead, but of when, because we’re so dominant after a strong start. We didn’t give them a single opportunity. When I go back to the first half, two times Cree Summerville was in top shooting position, great stop by the goalkeeper, Rutter one versus one on the goalkeeper. Then there was a handball issue following a corner kick, I believe twice. After that, we had a shooting position with Joel Piroe and Dan James in good shooting position.
Archie Gray’s second half began similarly, with a cut back scenario, James with a golden chance, when we should have put this away, then Cree Summerville with a rebound, which should have been a goal. But, certainly, you have to agree that the goalkeeper put in a great performance today, and I get the feeling that there is only one squad that will win this game. That’s the nature of football; most scenarios may shift momentum. Yes, we considered the yellow-red card, but then you can’t press as high. So you’re playing under pressure, and your opponent grows a little more confident and courageous with each and every pass. You must sit a little deeper. You weren’t there.
Then you’ll have to get your hands dirty. I had the impression that we had the greater chance with Rutter even during this period, but then in the 89th minute they had a monster chance and generally it is a goal and you know, when they hit the ball to the post. In football, you generally lose such a game 0-1 and sit in the locker room wondering how you could lose such a game and not win it. So, under these conditions, I would think that is a valid point. delighted with a good road point, delighted with a clean sheet, and pleased with the performance.
Yes, we should be a little more clinical in order to capitalize on our opportunities, but in terms of performance, I’m pleased with what the lads did, as well as in terms of mentality and the last few minutes to dig in and bring this point home.
