Leeds United have had a positive start to the season, and could possibly finish higher than they did last year. Former Everton boss Sean Dyche has spoken about how Daniel Farke runs his team.
The journey from being relegated to the Championship to making it back to the top flight has been a long one.
He had to build a team that lost most of their best players, and still managed to win promotion. The Whites would have been promoted earlier, but blew their chance in the playoff final against Southampton.
Many predicted Leeds to go straight back down in their first season in the league.
They managed to prove everyone wrong and avoided relegation, finishing in 14th place on their return to the top flight.

Daniel Farke deserves a lot of plaudit for the job he did last year. When things were not going well in the middle of last season, the Leeds United boss turned things around.
His system shift set the team on a run that saw them avoid the drop.
Now, the German looks every bit like a Premier League manager. When some coaches win promotion, they fail at the chance to prove that they deserve to be in the top flight, Farke took his chance.
Sean Dyche has praised Farke for the work he has done for the club so far.
“The manager is doing a great job there, but it’s almost like the players have gone, ‘Right, we’ll have a right go at it.”’ he said on talkSPORT.
“Last season, they were new to the Premier League and they were like, ‘We’ll have a right go.’ And they did and it paid them back.”

Leeds’ mentality has been key to their success
Last season, most sides would just defend deep and hope to take a draw against bigger clubs. But Leeds were different; they took the game to the bigger clubs and actually got results.
Especially at Elland Road, where they have completely outplayed very good teams.
Looking at the quality they had last year, many would think that Farke is doing a great job.
He managed to make the club function while maintaining the core of his team from the Championship. Now the Whites can boast of a solid team, and a finish above 14th place is realistic this year.
I am so sick of these stupid articles talking about bugger clubs. Leeds United is a massive club and ranked around theb4th biggest club in Engalnd and will grow bigger…
