Burnley 2-0 Leeds: What Farke said
- Published
Daniel Farke spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Leeds' defeat against Burnley: "You can't have better statistics than we did today in an away game in the Premier League. When Liverpool, Arsenal, Man City travel here even they won't have better statistics. We won each and every statistic but in football it is also just about goals. They were more effective than us today.
"In the first half they had one chance and we were a bit sleepy on the cross and they scored, then in the second half they had a shot from about 25 yards. When we had big chances we were more or less surprised. Performance wise I can't complain but this is how football works.
"First game after the international break with so many offensive players out to be so dominant, I didn't expect this but the players have delivered it. Of course we wanted to score but it was one of those days where it was not to be and we could not get the ball over the line. Credit to them for finding the goals.
"We want to pick up points everywhere and for that we need good performances. We showed today in many, many aspects but effectiveness is what's crucial. This is what we need to add to our game."
