Although Leeds United has received criticism for being “dirty,” how do they compare to their Championship opponents in terms of yellow cards?
Earlier in the season, Daniel Farke listed discipline as one of his “values,” and his Leeds United players have exhibited this characteristic on the pitch. The Whites are fiercely competing for promotion, but because of their dominance in games, they seldom ever have to deal with officiating.
Farke stated in December that “I don’t want any unnecessary sending offs, yellow cards, bookings, or suspensions because it does not make your life easier,” and it is a valid concern. One or three games without a key player may mean losing momentum, and that momentum has resulted in seven straight league victories since the start of the season.
Despite frequently being called for fouls, Farke’s team has a reputation for maintaining composure. The ‘dirty Leeds’ stereotype is debunked by their disciplinary record this season, but how do they compare to their Championship opponents this year? Look down below.
