Daniel Farke will get himself sacked if he repeats what he did in Leeds United draw vs Newcastle
Leeds United secured a point in a rather drab Elland Road encounter with Newcastle United on Saturday.
Leeds held on to a 0-0 draw against Newcastle, albeit in a game that lacked any quality in the final third.
Newcastle had a significantly weakened XI at Elland Road, yet Leeds failed to take advantage of that, though Daniel Farke will still take the positives from another point in the Premier League.
However, what the German did in the second half of the clash will not do anything to subdue the shouts of Farke being sacked at Leeds, as harsh as that may sound to some.
Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson emerge from bench for Leeds
Noah Okafor was a doubt for Leeds ahead of the game, though he was named on the bench, alongside summer signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
With Lukas Nmecha leading the line, Joel Piroe was also available as a substitute, and yet Farke opted to bring on Jack Harrison and Brenden Aaronson.
Harrison has been booed all summer by Leeds fans, while Aaronson has done nothing at Elland Road to showcase that he has what it takes to thrive in the Premier League.
For that duo to be the first options for Farke to turn to in a game that was there for the taking is nothing short of criminal, with this not the first time he’s gone down this route.
Calls have been made for Farke to be sacked at Leeds, and decisions like this will only validate those concerns as the season goes on. The German has to learn.
49ers must take note of Daniel Farke decision vs Newcastle
While it may have purely been a tactical decision, there is a chance that the subs made by Farke were a point made to the 49ers.
Attacking signings before the 1 September deadline, with Leeds linked with a move to sign Dilane Bakwa from Strasbourg.
After such a poor showcase of their attacking qualities, it is clear that those attempts need to be accelerated immediately, otherwise it could be a long season back in the top flight.
