Brighton away was always expected to be a difficult game for Leeds United, but the Whites were easily beaten, and Tony Dorigo reckons Daniel Farke was preparing the hairdryer for one player.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds<\/a> were easily beaten by Brighton as Georginio Rutter faced his old side for the first time since leaving Elland Road<\/a> in 2024 for \u00a340m. Rutter proved that Leeds remain in his heart with a Daniel Farke post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds had chances in the first half, but defensively, they were far from their best. Gabi Gudmundsson was out of position for the first, and Jayden Bogle will not want to watch back Brighton\u2019s third goal yesterday.<\/p>\n

It was arguably Leeds\u2019 second-worst performance of the season, marginally worse than the 2-0 loss to Burnley, but certainly behind the 5-0 Arsenal loss. Noah Okafor<\/a> has come in for criticism since full-time.<\/p>\n

It has already been reported that Farke was not impressed by Okafor<\/a> in the first half. The Leeds gaffer had even spoken to Gabriel Gudmundsson about it, and Tony Dorigo<\/a> noticed Farke\u2019s frustration on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Dorigo gave a reason for Farke\u2019s anger towards Okafor, saying the Switzerland star hadn\u2019t been making the runs he was in training. He predicted a dressing down for the \u00a318m summer signing at half-time.<\/p>\n

Former Leeds defender Dorigo said, while commentating on LUTV\u2019s coverage<\/a> of Leeds\u2019 defeat to Brighton: \u201cYou can see Daniel Farke having a look at Noah Okafor, the movement just wasn\u2019t there. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn training, we\u2019ve worked on it clearly, and now you\u2019re not making the movement that Jaka Bijol needed. I think that will be a half-time team talk for Noah Okafor,\u201d Dorigo continued, when noticing Farke.<\/p>\n

Noah Okafor\u2019s stats weren\u2019t impressive during Brighton loss<\/p>\n

Not only did Okafor lose possession of the ball on four occasions<\/a>, but his passing percentages were miles below the majority of his teammates. Of the starting XI, Okafor\u2019s pass rate was the worst by some way.<\/p>\n\nName<\/strong><\/td>\nPasses<\/strong><\/td>\nPass completion %<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJaka Bijol<\/td>\n81\/86<\/td>\n94%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nEthan Ampadu<\/td>\n58\/63<\/td>\n92%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nBrenden Aaronson<\/td>\n24\/26<\/td>\n92%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJoe Rodon<\/td>\n52\/57<\/td>\n91%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAo Tanaka<\/td>\n49\/55<\/td>\n89%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSean Longstaff<\/td>\n25\/29<\/td>\n86%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nJayden Bogle<\/td>\n21\/25<\/td>\n84%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGabriel Gudmundsson<\/td>\n35\/42<\/td>\n83%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLucas Perri<\/td>\n26\/37<\/td>\n70%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDominic Calvert-Lewin<\/td>\n5\/8<\/td>\n63%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nNoah Okafor<\/td>\n8\/14<\/td>\n57%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Yes, Okafor is going to lose the ball when trying to create things and that\u2019s why Calvert-Lewin\u2019s pass rate is also low. But there is being low, and misplacing almost half of the passes he attempted on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Okafor was not as good as he has been, or can be, on Saturday. When Leeds go to Nottingham Forest next weekend, Leeds and Farke will need a lot more from the former Milan ace, if he holds onto his place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brighton away was always expected to be a difficult game for Leeds United, but the Whites were easily…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":545375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,121657,159176,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-545374","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-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-noah-okafor","13":"tag-tony-dorigo","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115483423082689456","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545374","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=545374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/545374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/545375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=545374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=545374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=545374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
