Daniel Farke, the manager of Leeds, expressed his understanding of the frustration felt by the club’s fans, but felt relieved to have secured a 0-0 draw against West Brom at the Hawthorns despite losing several key players over the summer. The visiting supporters booed as Leeds players passed the ball backwards and again at the final whistle, marking United’s winless start to the season which included a 3-0 Carabao Cup loss to Middlesbrough.
Opportunities were scarce throughout the match, with West Brom having the better chances including attempts from Kyle Bartley, Jayson Molumby, and Karlan Grant. Leeds came closest to scoring when Ethan Ampadu’s long-range effort narrowly missed the target with the goalkeeper out of position.
Farke faces challenges both on and off the field, with Georginio Rutter set to depart following a string of player exits. Despite the setbacks, Farke acknowledged the fans’ desire to see his team perform at their best and deliver exciting football.
West Brom head coach, Carlos Corberan, believed the draw accurately reflected the game’s limited chances. He praised his team’s defensive organization and attacking bravery against Leeds, highlighting the need for balance when facing a tough opponent like United.
