""Fair criticism that they were our worst games [of the season] but it is my job to protect my players. I work for a club where everyone cares so much and is passionate. I want to be a shield. We go with positivity into the next game so we can be brave, press higher and play with more courage.They have delivered so many good performances, so I am finding it hard to criticise us. It will always be in our DNA to be pro-active, but we are playing in the best league in the world. We always have to perform at our top level. If we keep going we have a great chance of staying above the line and continuing to play in the Premier League.""
""No doubt they're one of the top sides. They play in Europe, a fantastic manager, fantastic players, sixth in the league and even higher in the form table. We have to be at our best level and then with our supporters we always have a chance.""
""How we are performing away is not in the balance, it is not in our balance. Of course, how we are competing and progressing has been really fantastic, but it's not enough. And away is our challenge because in the five matches we played away we have only won against Tottenham.""
Leeds sit 16th and require a victory after winning only once in their last six Premier League games and failing to beat Aston Villa since October 2020. Consecutive away defeats at Brighton and Nottingham Forest have increased criticism of Daniel Farke and his players. Farke accepts the fair criticism but emphasizes protecting players, maintaining positivity, pressing higher, and playing with courage while insisting Leeds’ proactive DNA and recent good performances give them a chance to stay above the line. Aston Villa have climbed the table but remain challenged by inconsistent away results, with only one away win so far.
