00:00Leeds United head coach Daniel Farker has spoken about Leeds United's lack of cutting

00:07edge in front of goal in the Premier League. Farker made clear that despite Leeds dominating

00:13several games, they have simply not put the ball in the net enough.

00:16Well, to convert the chance to score goals, it's as simple as that. So sometimes it's

00:21tough. I'm pleased with the way we play, the way also how dominant we are. We had several

00:29games where we were able to collect points on this level and I would say even the games

00:33when we lost, perhaps apart from the Arsenal game because they deserved to win against

00:38us. In all the other games, we were more or less, in all statistics that matters, expected

00:44goals, shots, big chances created, whatever, the better side, but not the more effective

00:51side. And that's definitely, definitely a fact. But it's also then not to accuse the players

00:59in this moment. It's not like Jadon Bogle out of one yard, of course he wants to score a

01:03goal. Or Ben Aaronson alone in front of the goalkeeper, or Lucas Metch, or Joel Pirou, of

01:08course he wants to score the goal. It's more or less like, yeah, come on, hard work, hard

01:12hard work. And Bradford City manager Graham Alexander highlighted his frustration that

01:18the Bantams were not able to pick up all three points against Barnsley. If I'm being

01:25honest, a bit of frustration that we didn't win the game. I think the first half performance

01:31was excellent on all sides. The attacking intent, the end product, the defensive side of it was

01:40really good as well. The goal is obviously, nothing can be done. From our perspective,

01:46you know, if we tried to stop that goal from happening again, we wouldn't be doing a lot

01:50of the other stuff right, because it's just a one-a-million goal. So I thought the first

01:56half was really good. And for the first 15 minutes of the second half, we didn't play,

02:03we didn't press in the same way as we did in the first half, completely. And it's not

02:10me taking any credit away from Barnsley, but we did do things slightly different.
