Leeds have yet to score in open play this season, with their opening-day win against Everton sealed through Lukas Nmecha\u2019s penalty, and Farke said that is his only criticism of his side after their first four league matches.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cWhen you see the bigger picture \u2013 chances created, expected goals, shots \u2013 we are not in a bad position. What we have to improve is our cutting edge, the efficiency to score more goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to make sure you reward yourself and this is the only thing I can criticise and what is missing, but we had a similar conversation at the beginning of last season.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be a bit more effective, and this was a major topic on the training ground, to bring the players in front of goal, to work on their decision-making in the box and their sharpness and also their confidence a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leeds, bidding for their first away win of the season against a Wolves side who sit rock-bottom after losing all four of their Premier League games, could be without both Dan James (core muscle) and Willy Gnonto (calf) at Molineux.<\/p>\n
Karl Darlow will resume in goal in the absence of Lucas Perri (thigh) and Farke confirmed both Ao Tanaka and Joel Piroe are in contention to start.<\/p>\n
On his side\u2019s first four matches following promotion, Farke added: \u201cI\u2019m pretty happy that we are pretty rock-solid during most periods. This is always key for a newly-promoted side to give you a chance of survival.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked if it was a must win game, he added: “I heard this 46 times last season. I go into every game thinking it’s a must-win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“If not possible, we want to make sur we don\u2019t lose. Go into every game wanting to win but even so, we won\u2019t stay in the Premier League with seven points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Nothing major is achieved. Even with a loss or draw, nothing has been decided yet. It makes our life easier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“They’ve not had the start they wanted in terms of points. Very experienced side though, done some proper business in the transfer window.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds have yet to score in open play this season, with their opening-day win against Everton sealed through…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,94,4884,1860,93,16,15,1138],"class_list":{"0":"post-433875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-sport","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-wolverhampton-wanderers-fc"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115225936946628987","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
