Leeds United suffered their fourth loss of the season this past Saturday. The Whites were beaten by Burnley at Turf Moor, as Daniel Farke continues his terrible record against the Clarets.
The German has just one win against Burnley since he arrived in England. Going into the game, many would have give Leeds the advantage – the Whites had eight points coming off a tough run of games.
An early goal from Lesley Ugochukwu shocked Daniel Farke’s side after just 20 minutes. Leeds did everything possible to get back into the game, but Luom Tchouana sealed the result in the second half with a long range strike.

Three losses in five games since the last international break is not a very good look for Daniel Farke. His team have been impressive in some games, but this loss against Burnley has shown the reality of this season. It will be very difficult for Leeds to survive, especially with a team that lacks quality up top.
Some think that the pressure will grown on Farke if the results continue this way. BBC Radio Leeds were discussing possible replacements if the German is sacked, mentioning Liam Rosenior and Sean Dyche. Former Leeds man Aidy White thinks that it would be a huge gamble to bring in either coach at this point of the season.
“It’s a huge gamble to put someone in without any Premier League experience [Rosenior].
“You have people like Sean Dyche with Premier League experience, but do you want to go down that route?”
Daniel Farke has to go to the drawing board once again
When the Whites returned from the last international break, Farke made the decision to change the lineup and bring in fresh faces. The front three of Okafor, Calvert-Lewin and Aaronson looked like a strange call until the team scored six goals after having scored just one in their first four games.
The Leeds boss has to go back to the drawing board and figure out another solution, and maybe bench some underperforming players.
