Leeds United did not win against Brentford, but Keith Andrews\u2019 reaction said more about Daniel Farke\u2019s work than the scoreline ever could.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds played out a goalless draw with Brentford at Elland Road, a result that reflected a tight and controlled contest. It was a game defined by structure rather than chances, and that is exactly what Andrews chose to highlight.<\/p>\n

How many points do Leeds need now? <\/p>\n

Farke reckons 5-7.<\/p>\n

\"\" Andrews\u2019 praise carries weight after Elland Road draw<\/p>\n

The Brentford manager described the game as hard, hard fought, a fair reflection of a disciplined Leeds display. He also spoke openly about his admiration for Daniel Farke, as per the Independent<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHard, hard fought,\u201d Andrews said. \u201cVery proud of what the players produced, really proud of the mentality coming to a very tough place against a really good side that do things really well. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of admiration for Daniel and what he\u2019s done in his career full stop, and certainly the way he\u2019s got the team going. Yeah, a good point.\u201d It points to how difficult Leeds are to play against under Farke.<\/p>\n

This was not empty praise, it was recognition of a team that now has clear identity and control.<\/p>\n

This is not a neutral voice, it is a former critic<\/p>\n

Andrews is not a neutral observer when it comes to Leeds, and that context matters. During his time as a pundit, he argued Leeds were better without Pontus Jansson<\/a>, adding the defender cost Leeds at times.<\/p>\n

Those comments created lasting friction, only sharpened by a cheeky response from Leeds<\/a> after Jansson scored soon after. Some Leeds fans reminded Andrews of their animosity towards the Brentford boss.<\/p>\n

On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you with Daniel Farke? \ud83d\udc4f <\/p>\n

He’s turned it around!<\/p>\n

That is why Andrews\u2019 tone now is significant, because it shows a clear shift in how Leeds are viewed. Farke has built a side that is structured, controlled, and difficult to break down.<\/p>\n

The contrast between past criticism and present respect is not about Andrews changing his mind, it is about Leeds changing the evidence in front of him.<\/p>\n

The point matters in a tight Premier League picture<\/p>\n

The result also carries context in the table, with Leeds now on 33 points in the Premier League. That position reflects a team still fighting for security, where each point has value even in tight games.<\/p>\n

Farke\u2019s Leeds are not chasing headlines, they are building stability in a league that punishes inconsistency.<\/p>\n

Andrews has not suddenly become a Leeds ally, but his words reflect a shift that Farke has earned through structure, consistency, and results.<\/p>\n
