The 1-1 at the Stadium of Light felt like a missed chance but showed our grit. We extended the unbeaten run to five, though a sluggish start nearly cost us against a sharp, high pressing Sunderland side. #LUFC

youtu.be/Um9rMxAp-SA?... #LUFC

Second half full of intensity. Leeds the better side for large parts but a Sunderland missing so many from AFCON showed why they are where they are. Great pressing side. Leeds opened them up and control large swathes. A fair point we edged. Seven clear of the drop #LUFC

Sunderland's press is very good. Leeds pushing. Quite even. Aaronson attempt cleared off line. Rodon out is a big issue. Responded well. Still in this. Stach final balls poor but covered some grass. Screaming for Gnonto this game. Tentative game separated by a great xhaka assist. #LUFC

Nmeche makes the bench. #LUFC

Heading to the Stadium of Light, we’re finally seeing the football we crave, tough yet dynamic. Sunderland are sitting 6th, but our recent tactical evolution has turned us into a different beast away from Elland Road. #LUFC

What a night under the lights. 36,334 fans created a pit that Palace simply couldn't handle. The atmosphere was electric as we moved six points clear of the drop with a statement 4-1 win. How many bleeding positions did Rodon occupy? #lufc

Aaronson starts, all the same otherwise. Can imagine that energy in midfield early on could unsettle. #LUFC

Massive night at Elland Road. After that 3-3 draw with Liverpool and the Chelsea win, we know we can compete. Even Brentford were second best. We’re 17th, while Palace are 5th. We need the 12th man to rattle Glasner's high fliers. #LUFC

youtu.be/4XB_oEYFT7Y?... #LUFC

Two sides structurally cancelling each other out. Change it or stick as we are the better side slightly? #LUFC

Hopefully Okafor can settle a bit more into this position today. #LUFC

Farke's tactical shift to a back five/5-3-2 has been key, stemming from the Man City defeat. We beat Chelsea 3-1 and drew 3-3 with Liverpool! This change offers defensive stability and new attacking routes. #LUFC #MOT

#LUFC #LUFCLIV THE MAN FROM JAPAN. THE BEAST FROM THE EAST. Leeds United 3-3 Liverpool. What an afternoon. 2 down again, the fight in this side recently is astounding. Three games to see Farke off and he's arguably got better job security now than before city.

Think I popped a testicle #LUFC

The atmosphere after beating Chelsea 3-1 is immense. Farke's crucial tactical shift to the 5-3-2 was genius. It suited our physicality and gave us an xG of 2.82 vs. their 1.1, despite only 29% possession—a new low under our manager. #LUFC

The Magic of Elland Road: Chelsea Thrashed 3-1 What a night! The fight, the tenacity, the sheer will to win was back. We battered Chelsea 3-1, climbing out of the drop zone and sending a statement to the league. The stats confirm it: we had more shots and shots on target. .

youtu.be/XXrhz2dLxCQ?... #LUFC

45' Maresca looks subdued, like a child that lost his dummy. 47' Bogle ball in, Nmecha shoots and Sanchez saves, great ball in. DCL attempts a bycycle kick for shits and giggles. 50' Chelsea score from a left side cross that bounces through to Neto.

1' Struijk slips early on but recovers. 2' Bijol volleys after Ampadu long throw, blocked. 3' DCL down the right take on Cucuarella and plays to Tanaka who shoots poorly. good start. 4' dcl wins aerial ball flick on, we started strong.

He's done it, this is our strongest side by the reckoning of most fans. It's a tough game regardless but we have some solidity combined with companionship up front. Come on lads. "when I was just a little boy" it's all about the crowd now. #LUFC #MOT

This is a massive night at Elland Road. Maresca's Chelsea are unbeaten in seven, but Farke's job is on the line. We desperately need points to climb out of the bottom three. This is pivotal for our Premier League future. #LUFC

Manchester City 3-2 Leeds United: The Heartbreak and the Hope #LUFC#MOT #LEEDSUNITED

youtu.be/3sHLO5oyxz0?... #LUFC

45' DCL and Bijol on for James and Gnonto, i do not understand that, thought both did their jobs very well. 47' free kick Donnurumma parries out and Ampadu shoots and its blocked.

#LUFC PRE KICK OFF Farke and Guardiola have a really long cuddle. 1' Nunez to Foden with the usual dead ball line cut back. One down inside a minute. 3' Ampadu tries to thread a ball through and completely miss cues for a throw-in.

Well it may be too late but we have actual change. Tanaka and Gruev were the only options but Gnonto and James start, Nmeche keeps his place deservedly and Gudmondsson is dropped for Justin which is unexpected but defensively perhaps a good shout #LUFC

Farke confirmed Longstaff is out for 4-6 weeks with a calf injury, a huge blow. Anton Stach misses out too due to concussion protocols, per Farke's presser yesterday. This means Ampadu must step up; he's been vital, averaging 3.2 tackles/90 min, but he needs to track far far better his man. #LUFC

I’m gutted. Dropping into the bottom three after a 1-2 defeat to Villa at Elland Road is tough. We started strong, but this run of five defeats in six is creating real anxiety. We need points, fast. #LUFC #MOT

youtu.be/0HwFPVN80pY?... #LUFC

48' Malone drives a low ball cut back into the box and Rodgers flicks it in. It's a goal we concede often. Need a response here. 49' Tanaka wins ball, splays to Aaronson to longstaff, blocked, villa counter blocked, Leeds counter, blocked. There's a game on and we won't lie down.

This is the heat map for Lukas Nmecha. Incredible work rate, connecting with the midfield and then making subsequent runs. #LUFC first half Leeds 1-0 up

Okay. This difference so far is this. Work rate, far outworking villa. Players deeper, simple but true. Okafor tracking back defensively. Nmecha holding up the ball. We are a better side when we are physically strong, on every player and moving the ball forward quickly. All tactical. #LUFC

4' Leeds getting onto the front foot, faster ball playing, less laboured than usual. 6' Okafor through, ball just nicked, Aaronson fouled on the edge of the box right side. Longstaff cross, knocked back and Martinez and nmecha come together while Stach heads and hits nmecha.

Will this be the sword he could die upon. Aaronson starts over James. The performance and mentality need to be spot on today. I am not surprised by the lineup too much but Nmecha starting I am and also positive about. #LUFC

We are in 18th place after yesterday's results, dropping into the relegation zone with 11 points from 11 games. Conceding 20 goals (fourth-worst) shows major defensive frailty. Farke is under immense pressure. We need to see changes tactically and the team sheet will determine the crowd mood. #LUFC

The Farke debate is Raging. We’re only a point above the drop zone. The 49ers failed to sign key attacking targets, leaving DF with a Championship squad to fight in the PL. He was dealt a rough hand, which explains our struggles. #LUFC

Another soul-crushing 3-1 away loss at Forest. We led, yet crumbled, extending our terrible away form. This leaves us hovering one point above the drop zone. #LUFC

youtu.be/QMpmQ0r6KeY?... #LUFC This will be a bumpy news week for us and Farkes future now. Unsure what the my feeling is but it seems that the fanbase hit the precipice of the stick/twist 50/50 level.

46' Aaronson in aad scramble on the floor, winning the ball. 48' ndoye beats gudmondsson and plays to jesus who misses with a touch off Bijol. 55' gudmondsson runs the entire length of the pitch and wins a throw but very very good from him. 57' longstaff loses out on throw in and loses his cool.

'1 Leeds start with intensity but white breaks free and shoots, Perri parries out. 2' Stach takes a flick of the wrist in the mouth and spits blood. 8' Okafor with a bit of trickery to win a long throw, glides to keeper but right idea. 10' forest dangerous from corner and resulting cross

#LUFC #MOT #LEEDSUNITED

We've got a crucial six-pointer at the City Ground. We must fix our shocking away form, which has yielded only one goal so far. We need to match Dyche's side's renowned intensity and aggression from the first whistle. #LUFC #MOT #PEACOCKS

This Brighton defeat was painful and far too easy for them. We were just outclassed, end of story. The 3-0 scoreline actually flattered us slightly, which is a massive worry. #LUFC #MOT

youtu.be/6im-982woUA?... Fucking amex #LUFC

46' again Brighton break and shoot, Perri catches. 48' Rutter blasts one at the side netting. 53' Okafor cross ball to Bogle, well seen, Bogle loses possession on edge of box. 54' Okafor again magic after ball from tanaka, tries to chip over keeper into box, collected.

1' Brighton shoot, way away. 2' CDL wins ball, through to Okafor cross is at a stretch. 6' Okafor little skill and spreads wide to Bogle but too long. 8' poor ball to ampadu, miss controlled and open to five on three Brighton attack, shot is poor and collected
