00:00In the wake of a bruising 4-0 defeat to Arsenal at Tenham Road, the rain-slick turf reflected
00:06more than just the floodlight.
00:08It mirrored a sobering reality check for Leeds United.
00:12For Daniel Farker, however, the heavy scoreline was not a cause for panic, but a moment for
00:17characteristic pragmatism.
00:19Yes, also that, of course, they should take the disappointment from today, but we won't
00:26over-interpretate this game, and also there is not much to analyse.
00:31It's more or less like to say, come on, they were the better side, and we accept that Arsenal
00:35today was the better side, and this type of game is not season-defining.
00:39Yes, you can't accept as a promoted side that each and every time you face a top or big name,
00:46like against Liverpool two times a draw, or against Chelsea a win, or whatever.
00:51Sometimes there is also a game against one of the big names when you lose a game.
00:55This happened today, it doesn't take the disappointment in the first instance away, but it's also nothing
01:00that we will speak about in the next three or four days.
01:03We'll put this game pretty quick to bed, and from tomorrow we concentrate already on Nottingham.
01:08Arsenal clinical and Imperius dismantled the Whites in their own backyard.
01:13The scoring opened with Martin Zubimendi, followed by a stroke of misfortune when a Noli-Manueke
01:19corner was deflected into his own net by Karl Darlow.
01:23Half strikes from Victor Jokerez and Gabriel Jesus rounded out a result that sent the Gunners
01:28six points clear at the top of the table.
01:32While the NLM faithful were left dejected, Farker emerged with a message of perspective.
01:37We have to accept that today.
01:39The better team won, Farker conceded, refusing to overanalyse a result against a side he labelled
01:44as the best in Europe, citing their perfect record in the Champions League.
01:50The deserved win today.
01:53So today, I have to say, we have to accept that the better team won this game.
02:01Of course, we were also realistic before.
02:02We faced today the best side currently in Europe.
02:05There are reasons why this team is sitting on top of the table in the Premier League, why
02:09this team is the best team currently in Europe.
02:118 wins out of 8 Champions League games and, of course, you need a perfect day in order
02:17to give yourself a chance and also a bit of luck that this side is then perhaps not there
02:23was our best day and not super effective.
02:26But today, sadly, we didn't have our very best day and they were on it from the first to the
02:31last second.
02:33For that, they deserve to win this game and we have to accept their quality today.
02:36We have to say, congratulations, they were better and for that, there's not too much
02:41to over-interpretate into this game.
02:45In the bosses' eyes, one afternoon of dominance by world-class opposition doesn't undo months
02:50of progress.
02:51Perspective isn't just a comfort for Farka, it is the tactical anchor keeping Leeds steady
02:56in the top flight storm.
02:58And now it's to make a move.
03:00Let's make a move.
03:01Let's make a move.
03:02Be careful.
03:03Take care.
03:04Leave me to get in the top of the table.
03:05Let's move on.
03:06Take care.
03:07Get in the low-cost Dale as we got to the middle of the cat, so let's get in to the
03:10look.
03:11Get down the ground.
03:12Let's keep trying to get a new place right in the middle of the cat.
03:16Find this, in the middle of the cat, so that it is the little bit better.
03:19Come in and stop.
03:21There's a new way.
03:22I'm going to confess.
03:23I'll say.
03:24Everyone.
03:25It's not too much.
