Daniel Farke now blames one leeds player and. says he wasn’t happy with 28-year-old Leeds player’s energy against Coventry(Read full story in the comment section)

Daniel Farke, the Leeds United manager, has provided insights into his decision to substitute Glen Kamara during the team’s recent defeat to Coventry City. Despite Leeds United’s strong performance throughout most of 2024, the loss to Coventry was a setback, particularly as it came at a crucial moment in the promotion race. Farke highlighted that Kamara, who had been ill prior to the team’s victory over Hull City, seemed to lack the necessary energy during the Coventry match, leading to his substitution at halftime.

The match against Coventry was a missed opportunity for Leeds to gain an advantage in the automatic-promotion race, especially after Norwich’s win earlier that day. Despite a late surge, Leeds struggled to find their rhythm, and a draw would have been a generous outcome given their performance. Farke expressed concern over Kamara’s performance, noting that the midfielder appeared to still be feeling the effects of his recent illness.

This situation underscores a broader issue within the team, as several players have not maintained their early 2024 form in recent games. The team’s cohesion and individual performances that marked their winning streak have seen a decline, leading to less convincing displays. The upcoming match against Sunderland presents an opportunity for Leeds to bounce back, with Farke emphasizing the need for key players like Kamara to return to their best form.
