00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke has made clear that his side's performance against

00:07Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday was almost lazy. The Whites lost 1-0, with

00:13Farke stopping short from using lazy to describe it, but outlined that it was not quick and

00:18aggressive enough to win the match. Farke expressed his disappointment with Leeds'

00:23start to the game, adding that Blackburn settled into the match much more quickly, which ultimately

00:28allowed them to gain a better foothold and create better openings. He also said that

00:33the Whites were guilty of giving away too many fouls during the match.

00:37Farke did caveat some of his criticisms by adding that because of Blackburn's postponed

00:42game last weekend, they were more fresh and playing against a Leeds side who were involved

00:47in their third game in the space of a week, but stated that the effort from his players

00:51could have been at a higher level throughout the 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
