Overview
- Leeds’ 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest, having led early through Lukas Nmecha, left them 16th and one point above the relegation zone.
- Farke’s side have lost four of their last five league matches, including five defeats in six away games, continuing his longstanding struggles on the road.
- Leeds have scored only 10 goals in 11 league fixtures, and reporting indicates a new striker is a priority for the January window.
- Tactical choices are under scrutiny, with the switch from Pascal Struijk to Jaka Bijol linked to a spike in expected goals conceded and a run without a clean sheet since August.
- Speculation over replacements has grown, with odds lists featuring candidates such as Marco Rose, Brendan Rodgers, Steven Gerrard and Michael Carrick.
