Just as a window of opportunity appeared to be opening, Daniel Farke chose to change formation and close it in the face of Leeds United’s £4.5 million signing. On New Year’s Day, the overwhelming feeling at Elland Road was one of frustration. 2025 starting with the most galling of 1-1 draws, Leeds punished in stoppage time by Blackburn Rovers following a performance Daniel Farke thought veered too far into sluggishness up against a well-drilled, defensively-minded team. Blackburn’s deep-lying tactics prompted Farke to rearrange his pack and try something new once it became evident that Sam Byram’s energy reserves had run…

Fabrizio Romano’s newest disclosure about Tottenham’s January transfer ambitions will give Spurs fans reason to be optimistic. An acid test for the Tottenham hierarchy in January. While Tottenham have a strong starting eleven when everyone is well, the club’s injury issue has revealed a lack of depth in the squad. The team cannot blame bad luck because it has been apparent since the beginning of last season that Ange Postecoglou’s high-intensity style of play results in more muscle problems. The club’s hierarchy will thus face a significant test in January, and supporters may expect several fresh faces to walk through…

Graham Smyth has responded to John Eustace’s “laughable” comments following Leeds United’s 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday. Daniel Farke’s side had to wait until the 88th minute to take a well-deserved lead at Elland Road, but Danny Batth equalised just two minutes later on January 1. All of this action meant 10 minutes of added time, with Leeds pushing for all three points, but more time was only added on after a flurry of yellow cards brandished by referee Oliver Langford. Writing via the Yorkshire Evening Post [2 January], Smyth said: “You can and should credit Blackburn for…

Leeds United cannot afford to refrain from January business The Whites are enjoying a terrific campaign and depending on the results on…
Daniel Farke will be anxious to keep his Leeds United squad intact and possibly add one or two in January, but recent history suggests the prospects of doing so are slim. After losing in the play-off final against Southampton at Wembley Stadium, Daniel Farke planned to retain his group together in the summer. However, Leeds were pushed into a mini-rebuild following the departures of four important players.

The ECHO has assessed Liverpool’s players so far this season, with Mohamed Salah, Ryan Gravenberch, and Cody Gakpo generating a stir.
