Leeds United fans have been questioning the future of Daniel Farke after watching their side slump to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brighton.

Danny Welbeck opened the scoring after 11 minutes, before a second-half brace from Diego Gomez which sealed the win for the Seagulls.

It has seen Leeds drop down to 16th in the Premier League, making relegation fears feel very real once again.

In a tough performance, fans have started to vent their frustrations and are unsure about whether Daniel Farke is the man to drive them forward.

Leeds fans question Daniel Farke’s position as manager after Brighton

Leeds have started to endure a tough run of form, with one win in their last five, and some question marks remain over the team and performances.

The Whites have built a foundation on being tough to beat, but with three goals conceded against Brighton, fans are starting to get nervous.

That has led to some questioning the future of Daniel Farke on social media.

One fan said: “Farke was short-handed in the window we know but the way he sets the team up is awful.”

Another added: “Playing Brighton and being negative hoping they don’t score, sitting in and conceding 3 is so Leeds and Farke! Pathetic tactics.”

“Nearly full strength in a winnable game and Farke has tactically got it so wrong it’s laughable,” another fan claimed.

Others questioned the substitutions made by Farke, as one fan said: “Abysmal subs from Farke again, why take Tanaka off, lost control in midfield now when we were playing well. Aaronson had to go off, and why isn’t Piroe playing if we’re not going long.”

One fan went on to say: “Forget our miserable record against Brighton for a moment, that was an awful performance. Farke had a full week to get us ready, no midweek distractions, and yet we looked completely off the pace and unprepared.”

It’s clear that frustration is being felt towards Farke and the decisions surrounding Leeds as they drift further down the table.

Leeds statistics prove cautious approach from Daniel Farke

While Leeds are looking to have a solid foundation to build from, their lack of adventure bit them hard against Brighton.

It took until the 85th minute for the Whites to get a shot on target, landing two in the whole game as they fell to defeat.

The expected goals don’t make for pretty reading either, with 2.99 for the home side against just 0.46 for Leeds.

The away form is now appearing to be a problem, with four defeats in five matches on the road.

It doesn’t get much easier for Farke and his Leeds team, who have Nottingham Forest at the City Ground up next.
