adminOliver Glasner gives verdict on Leeds United boss Daniel Farke
Leeds United return to Premier League action this weekend with a tough clash against Crystal Palace as the battle for survival intensifies. With just nine league matches remaining, the Whites know every point will be crucial in their bid to stay up.
The run-in looks challenging for manager Daniel Farke and his side, who must face several teams fighting in the same area of the table.
After suffering back-to-back defeats in recent weeks, Leeds have seen their relegation rivals close the gap, turning Sunday’s encounter into a must-win situation.
Glasner Praises Farke Ahead of Clash
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner believes this meeting will be very different from the last time the two sides met.
Leeds ran out convincing 4–1 winners at Elland Road earlier in the season, but that match came shortly after a European fixture — a similar scenario to the one Palace face again this weekend.
Despite the pressure surrounding Leeds’ campaign, Glasner spoke highly of Farke’s work this season.
According to Glasner, Farke has been “excellent,” highlighting Leeds’ promotion and the adjustments he has made during the campaign.
He noted that Leeds endured a difficult start but gradually improved, particularly at home where Elland Road became something of a fortress. Their narrow defeat to Manchester City was one example where Leeds could arguably have taken something from the game but were punished for missed chances.
Leeds Must Get Their Away Strategy Right
Away form has been a major issue for Leeds throughout the season, but recent performances suggest Farke may have found a solution.
The Whites have lost just once in their last nine away matches and have produced impressive results on the road against sides such as Chelsea F.C. and Aston Villa.
In those games, Farke adopted a more cautious tactical approach, focusing on defensive structure and quick transitions.
The strategy proved effective in matches against teams like Everton F.C. and Aston Villa, even though many supporters feel Leeds deserved even more from those performances.
If Leeds can replicate that tactical discipline and efficiency away at Crystal Palace, supporters will have every reason to believe the Whites can secure a vital result on Sunday.
