Joe was a rock in defence. Anton Stach gave me the sign that his quad had started to cramp. I think he was excellent again but in the last ten days we have played four Premier League games and he\u2019s played each and every minute.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI left him as long as possible on the pitch and then had to take him off. Right now, after we lost the game, I\u2019m thinking I should have risked injury and left him on but I would take exactly the same decision again because he\u2019s such an important player for us and I can\u2019t risk to lose him for weeks or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same more or less with Brenden. Although he was fantastic today and also Joe, if they are struggling with cramp, I need to substitute them and for that I would take the same decision, although sadly after the substitution we have conceded these heartbreaking goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Farke says he took Joe Rodon, Brenden Aaronson and Anton Stach off against Newcastle because they were&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":681335,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-681334","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-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115857335498355631","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681334","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=681334"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681334\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/681335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
