Everton Away, The Bigger Picture & Why There’s No Need to Panic Yet
Tomorrow night is another massive test — not just because it’s away at Everton, but because results around us have tightened things up.
West Ham picked up a home win, Burnley ground out a valuable point against Tottenham, and Nottingham Forest added another three. No hiding from it — the gap below us has shrunk.
But step back and look at the bigger picture. We’re sitting on 25 points, and most seasons tell you 38 to 40 points is enough for safety. Based on our current form, that really shouldn’t be a problem — especially with key players stepping up and confidence clearly flowing through the side.
I know a few are starting to get that familiar itchy bum feeling when they glance at the table, but let’s remember where we were not that long ago. We were in real trouble. Then came that half-time team talk against Manchester City — and since then, this team has looked transformed. Daniel Farke’s tactical tweaks have been bold, brave, and most importantly, effective.
That brings us to squad decisions. If we’re going to strengthen, some players will have to move on. For me, the loan players — Jack Harrison, Maximilian Wöber, Joe Gelhardt and Mateo Joseph — are the obvious starting point. After that, the harder calls come, and that’s where things get uncomfortable.
But that’s for another day. Right now, Everton away is the focus. With injuries giving us a bit of breathing room and the home side not at full strength, this is a game where we can at least take a point — and maybe even sneak all three.
Eyes forward. Belief high.

Trust the Process – This Leeds Team Is Growing Every Week
Another bold call by Daniel Farke and once again it delivers. It was a brave decision, especially with West Ham picking up a win . As the number of games gets shorter, the pressure shifts onto them, not us.
We’re sitting on 25 points with just 16 games left to reach that magic 40-point mark that usually guarantees Premier League survival. That’s a big ask for teams around us — especially when you look at how Leeds are improving week by week. Performances are getting stronger, confidence is growing, and this side looks more together with every game.
The big question now is the transfer window. Do we need to bring anyone else in? Personally, I’d like to see one more centre-back and a forward added — not because we’re struggling, but to protect ourselves if injuries hit later in the season. Depth could be key in those final, tense weeks.
Looking at the bottom three, if they drop many more points it’s hard to see how they escape. Wolves, in particular, already look like they’re planning for something else, with reports of players looking for moves. That tells its own story.
For me though, I’m confident. We’ve got a proper team, a manager who keeps making the right calls, and a group that looks like it’s still improving. There will be twists and turns, but right now, this feels like a club moving in the right direction — together.

From Survival to Standards – Why Leeds United Now Expect More
If anyone had offered me a draw with Liverpool and Manchester United at the beginning of the season, I’d have bitten their hand off without a second thought 🤝
Back then, it felt like damage limitation. Survival. Staying competitive.
Fast forward to now, and football has a funny way of shifting expectations.
On current form, it genuinely feels like we should have taken at least one win from those two fixtures — and that, in itself, tells the story of how far Leeds United have come in such a short space of time.
This is a far cry from the early weeks of the season when sections of the fanbase were openly questioning whether Daniel Farke was the right man for the job. Some were even calling for him to be sacked. Now? Many can’t picture this Leeds side without him at the helm.
What’s changed?
For me, the turning point was the second half against Manchester City. Since then, there’s been a noticeable shift in Farke’s management style. More trust in his players. More tactical bravery. A team encouraged to believe in itself rather than fear the opposition.
That belief has translated into confidence on the pitch — sharper passing, stronger mentality, and a side that now expects to compete rather than simply cope. The transformation has been remarkable, and it’s worked wonders for the squad 💪⚽
Which brings us to January.
The big questions are unavoidable now:
Who do we bring in?
How many do we need?
And do we need to sell before we buy?
Personally, I think at least one player needs to be moved on, and for me, that player would be Jack Harrison. Not because he hasn’t contributed, but because squad evolution sometimes demands tough decisions — and his value could help fund areas we need to strengthen.
That said, we may need another departure too… and that’s where it gets tricky. The balance is delicate. We don’t want to disrupt momentum, but we also can’t stand still while others strengthen.
One thing is clear:
Leeds United are no longer just happy to “take a point” at big grounds.
We’re starting to expect more — and that’s exactly where a club like Leeds should be 💛🤍
So over to you, Whites…
Who comes in?
Who goes?
And how bold should we be this January?
MOT. 💛🤍⚽

Leeds United Show Character and Growth in Gritty Sunderland Draw
Leeds United’s draw away at Sunderland may not live long in the memory as a classic, but its importance should not be underestimated. Away fixtures like this are often where promotion campaigns are defined, and Leeds showed signs of real maturity in coming away with something from a difficult environment.
Confidence on the road has been an issue at times, but this performance suggested progress. Sunderland made it uncomfortable, as expected, yet Leeds found a way to stay in the contest and respond when it mattered most. That ability to avoid defeat in hostile away grounds is a trait shared by successful teams.
However, the evening wasn’t without its concerns. Joe Rodon’s injury casts a shadow over the result, particularly with a daunting trip to Liverpool on the horizon. Anfield is never an easy place to go, and the likelihood of picking up points there is slim at the best of times. Losing a key defensive figure ahead of such a fixture would be a significant blow.
Despite that, there were plenty of positives to take. Leeds’ goal was nothing short of sensational — arguably one of the best scored by any team this season. It was a moment of quality that showcased the confidence and attacking intent currently running through the squad.
Even more encouraging was the response after falling behind. This Leeds side showed real character, refusing to let heads drop and instead pushing forward with belief. That resilience is a clear indicator of a team growing together and developing the mentality required to succeed.
Daniel Farke also deserves recognition for his evolving approach. In the past, changes often came late, with a scattergun method of throwing attackers on in the hope of salvaging something. Now, we’re seeing a more proactive manager — one willing to adjust earlier and influence games through structure rather than desperation.
While the draw won’t dominate headlines, it could prove crucial as the season unfolds. Confidence is building, belief is spreading throughout the squad, and Leeds United are increasingly showing they can compete, adapt, and respond — even when the game doesn’t go to plan.

An Unforgettable Night Under the Lights – One of the Season’s Finest Performances ⚽🔥
Tonight felt special. From the opening whistle to the final moments, this was a performance that reminded everyone exactly what this team is capable of when everything clicks. The intensity, commitment, and quality on show made it one of the most complete displays we’ve seen all season, and it was a night that will live long in the memory of the supporters.
Calvert-Lewin Continues His Rise 📈💪
Once again, Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the line with confidence and authority. He looks sharper, stronger, and more assured with every game that passes. His movement caused constant problems for the opposition defence, and his overall contribution went far beyond just goals. When Calvert-Lewin is playing with this level of belief, he elevates the entire team — and long may this form continue.
Aaronson’s Best Showing in a Leeds Shirt? 🔄⚡
A huge positive from the night was the performance of Brenden Aaronson, who delivered arguably his best display since arriving at the club. His work rate was relentless, his pressing intelligent, and his willingness to get on the ball made a real difference. This was the Aaronson fans have been waiting to see — confident, energetic, and influential. If he can build on this performance, it could be a turning point in his Leeds career.
Control, Confidence, and Character 🧠🔥
What stood out most was how well the team controlled large spells of the game. The passing was crisp, the pressing was coordinated, and there was a real sense of togetherness across the pitch. This was a side playing with belief and purpose, showing both quality and resilience when tested.
Late Drama, but Class When It Mattered 🎯👏
The one disappointment on the night was conceding a late penalty — a frustrating moment that threatened to take the shine off an otherwise excellent performance. 😤 However, the response said a lot about this team’s mentality. Stach stepped up and showed real class, delivering a superb free-kick that showcased his composure and technical quality. In big moments, big players make themselves count — and he did exactly that.
Lessons Still to Learn 🧤⚠️
As impressive as the performance was, there are still lessons to be taken. Seeing games out more effectively and keeping clean sheets must be a priority going forward. These fine margins can make all the difference over the course of a season, and tightening things up defensively will be key.
A Performance to Build On 🤍💛
Overall, this was a night full of positives — a performance packed with energy, quality, and heart. If this team can maintain these standards and continue to build momentum, there is plenty for fans to be excited about in the weeks ahead.
More performances like this, and Elland Road will be rocking all season long.
Marching On Together 💙🤍💛

“Has Daniel Farke Finally Found His Bravery? Leeds United’s Turning Point Explained”
Now that we’ve all had time to recover from the emotional roller coaster of Leeds United’s last three matches, it’s clear we’ve witnessed one of the biggest turnarounds in recent memory. The shift began in the second half of the Manchester City match. Whether Farke stumbled across that formation or, as I believe, made a brave decision under intense pressure, it changed everything. At a club like Leeds United, where expectations from fans and the city itself are massive, being bold is not easy — yet he backed himself.
We didn’t quite get over the line that day, but in the following match against Chelsea, Farke doubled down on his bravery. From the very first minute, Leeds took the game to them. That courage was rewarded with a deserved 3–1 victory — a result many of us didn’t see coming. It was one of those nights where belief returned.
And just as our emotions were settling, Liverpool arrived. A squad built on some of the biggest talents in the Premier League and backed by heavy summer spending. Many of us thought this would be a step too far. Leeds rode their luck at times — as you must against top sides — but they stayed brave, worked tirelessly, and fought together.
After going 2–0 down early in the second half, it looked bleak. But then the comeback sparked to life: Leeds pulled it back to 2–2, showing heart, spirit, and sheer desire. Yes, a lapse in concentration let Liverpool make it 3–2, something we’ve seen too often this season. But this time we didn’t fold. Leeds pushed again, refused to give in, and Ao Tanaka stepped up with a huge moment to make it 3–3.
So now we ask the real question: has Daniel Farke finally realised that he must stay bold, brave, and unafraid to take risks? At Norwich he often played safe, but this is Leeds United — and this league demands courage. If he truly backs himself and continues to make fearless decisions, he can prove he belongs in the Premier League, not just the Championship.
Being brave is the only path to survival. It’s what Leeds fans love: a team that puts everything on the line, that fights, that never gives up.
MOT. Always. ⚪🔵💛

A Week That Could Redefine Leeds United: Farke’s Future, Tactical Chaos, and the Search for a New Leader
Saturday’s match truly reminded us why football can be both a joy and a nightmare within the space of 90 minutes. Leeds United were completely outmatched in the first half — tactically lost, wide open, and lacking any sense of confidence or direction. At 2–0 down, the scoreline actually flattered us. It could have been much worse.
From the stands to the living rooms, fans were left scratching their heads.
Where was the structure? Where was the belief? Where was the identity we were promised?
Yet, football has a strange way of flipping everything on its head.
When the halftime whistle blew, the overwhelming feeling was relief. But what emerged after the break was a different Leeds United. The press was sharper, the build-up play clearer, and the urgency finally returned. The changes Daniel Farke made — ones many felt should have been happening weeks before — suddenly transformed the match.
It proved something important:
Farke can make the right decisions. So why hasn’t he been doing it consistently this season?
That question hangs heavy over Elland Road.
Meanwhile, the media storm grows louder. Reports claim the ownership is losing patience. Rumours suggest decisions are being made behind the scenes. The feeling around the club is one of tension — as if everyone knows a major moment is approaching.
And if Farke is on his way out, the next question becomes even bigger:
Who steps in to replace him?
Right now, two names have emerged as frontrunners:
Brendan Rodgers — experienced, tactically strong, and available.
Gary O’Neil — modern, sharp, and highly rated by analysts.
But do either of these names truly fit what Leeds need right now?
And more importantly — who do the fans actually want?
This week could go down as one of the most significant in modern Leeds United history. A managerial change, a January rebuild looming, and a fanbase desperate for clarity… everything feels on the edge.
Whatever happens next, it won’t just shape the rest of the season — it could shape the next few years of the club.
🔥 Stay with us for every update, reaction, rumour, and confirmation as it breaks.

Leeds Play Well, Take the Lead… and Still Walk Away With Nothing. Where Is This Heading for Farke?
Leeds United supporters have seen a lot of frustrating afternoons in recent years, but this one will sting because it followed a script we know far too well. The team played well, created chances, took a deserved lead — and yet still walked away with nothing to show for it. At some point, “bad luck” becomes a pattern, and this pattern is becoming impossible to ignore.
Bright Start, Deserved Goal — but No Killer Instinct
Leeds opened the game with intensity and purpose. The movement was sharp, the pressing aggressive, and the early goal was fully deserved. For once, we didn’t switch off immediately after scoring, which has been a recurring flaw this season. Instead, Leeds pushed for a second, moved the ball well and kept the tempo high.
But it’s the same old problem: dominance without ruthlessness. The second goal simply never came — and in the Premier League, you rarely get away with that.
Opposition Changes the Game — Farke Doesn’t
The opponents made their adjustments at half-time, and instantly Leeds were punished. A quick equaliser, followed by a free-kick (controversial, as usual) that swung momentum completely. Leeds battled, worked hard, stayed in the fight — you can’t fault the effort.
But in the final third, the cutting edge wasn’t there. That’s not just down to players; that’s down to how the team is set up. Too predictable, too slow to react, too easy to defend against late in games.
And then comes the familiar frustration:
Daniel Farke once again waited far too long to make his substitutions.
With the match slipping away, he delayed changes until the damage was already done.
Is December Too Late to Act?
Leeds are now deep into a run of games where points are critical. Performances alone are no longer enough to justify patience. Fans can see the effort — but they can also see the same tactical issues costing Leeds week after week.
Which raises the question:
Are the board really going to wait until January to make a decision on Farke?
Waiting too long is what got Leeds into trouble in previous seasons. The feeling around Elland Road is that something needs to change — either the approach, or the man leading it — before the table makes the decision for us.
January might be the transfer window… but will it also become decision time?
Leeds United vs Aston Villa: Key Clash at Elland Road
This weekend, Elland Road will host an exciting Premier League fixture as Leeds United take on Aston Villa. Leeds fans have been hoping for a spark under Daniel Farke, and a home clash against Villa could be the perfect opportunity.
Form Guide:
Leeds have had a mixed run lately, struggling for consistency but showing flashes of attacking flair. Villa, meanwhile, are a solid side under their current manager, with pace on the wings and a strong midfield.
Tactical Battle:
Farke faces tough decisions in midfield and attack. Does he stick with the experienced heads, or give the youth a chance to shine? Leeds’ defensive organization will be crucial against Villa’s quick transitions, while their wide play could exploit Villa’s occasional defensive lapses.
Prediction:
It’s set to be a tightly contested match. Leeds’ home advantage might just give them the edge, but they need discipline and sharp finishing. Fans can expect an exciting 90 minutes full of energy, passion, and drama.
Fan Focus:
Elland Road is ready to roar! Leeds supporters will hope their team rises to the occasion, showing fight and determination against a quality Villa side. Will this be the game that turns Leeds’ season around?
