Leeds United fans have no doubt over whether Daniel Farke should be sacked following their latest damaging Premier League defeat.

The pressure is mounting on Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke after his side slipped to a third consecutive defeat, and a fifth in six Premier League games.

Lukas Nmecha gave Leeds an early lead in controversial circumstances, his second goal in two games.

However, Leeds United fans were left with a sense of deja vu after the game, as Farke’s side failed to protect that lead for the second consecutive week, with Lucas Perri struggling in a 2-1 loss.

Farke is now under significant pressure, with his side languishing in the relegation places. According to a poll conducted by Leeds United News, the majority of fans think Farke should now be sacked, after another disappointing display.

Leeds United News poll delivers clear Daniel Farke verdict

On 17th November, following the defeat against Nottingham Forest, Leeds United News asked fans whether they believed that Farke should be sacked as Leeds manager.

At the time of writing, despite Farke defending his position at Leeds after the Villa game, the majority of fans are in agreement that he should be sacked.

According to the poll, which is included above, 73.1% of the 1,052 fans who have responded agree that Farke’s time at Elland Road has come to an end. Just 26.9% of fans backed him to stay in his role.

Stephen Warnock says Leeds United will rue opportunity missed

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, via BBC Sport, at full-time of the game against Villa, former Leeds United defender Stephen Warnock gave his verdict on Leeds’ latest defeat.

According to Warnock, Leeds should have taken the opportunity to close out the game after Nmecha’s opening goal, and will rue missing their chance to climb out of the bottom three.

Mixed messages involving Daniel Farke after the Aston Villa loss…

“The longer this run continues for Leeds, you would fear for the manager.”

Jamie Carragher

“For me, replacing the manager, I’m not sure it’s definitely the right thing to do now, given the games we have coming up.”

Aidy White

“Believe me, in terms of pressure, the first day you walk in the door as Leeds United manager, you have pressure.”

Warnock said: “Villa weren’t great in the first half, and Leeds should have put the game to bed.

“Villa stayed in it and had the ability to change it tactically and personnel, and Daniel Farke will feel like that is a big opportunity missed.”
