Crucially, sources have suggested that Rodgers would be interested in the role.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Farke himself remains publicly defiant, pointing to injuries, a demanding fixture list and the squad\u2019s underlying metrics as evidence that results will turn. Privately, he knows the margin for error has vanished. Leeds cannot afford another November like the one in 2021 with Norwich, which ended with him being sacked.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After Leeds slipped to a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa at the weekend after leading 1-0, Farke suggested that things are \u201cgoing against\u201d his side at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo concede two goals is not good. As good as we are attacking down the left side at the moment, we concede too many goals,\u201d Farke said after the loss to Villa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe concede so quickly straight after the restart. Over the course of 38 games, you have ups and downs. It happens sometimes at this level.
