Leeds United boss Daniel Farke admits its a simple case of putting chances away at one end and keeping them out at the other as the Whites look to bounce back from defeat to Burnley when they take on West Ham

00:00Well, to convert the chance to score goals, it's as simple as that. So sometimes it's tough, I'm
00:07pleased with the way we play, the way also how dominant we are. We had several games where we
00:14were able to collect points on this level and I would say even the games where we lost,
00:18perhaps apart from the Arsenal game because they deserved to win against us. In all the other
00:22games we were more or less, in all statistics that matters, expected goals, shots, big chances created,
00:31whatever, the better side but not the more effective side and that's definitely a fact.
00:38But it's also then, not to accuse the players in this moment, it's not like
00:45Jake Bogle out of one yard, of course he wants to score a goal or Brandon Everson alone in front of
00:49a goalkeeper or Lucas Match or JĂĽrgen Piro, of course he wants to score the goal. It's more
00:53or less like, yeah, come on, hard work, hard work on the training pitch, bring them always into this
01:00position that they improve a bit like being clinical and finish the moments when it counts and also to
01:07encourage them, also like never to underestimate one situation, so to be always on it because
01:13the only statistic that matters in football are the goals and for that we know that we have to be
01:19better in converting our big chances. But also on the other hand, we have not allowed much,
01:26very little, if I'm honest, in the last games. Burnley for example, they had one chance in the first
01:32half, one chance in the second half, but somehow they were able to create a goal out of this situation.
01:39When you have a period like this, then it's also like not to complain about fate or feel sorry for
01:45yourself. It's more like, okay, if it's not enough to reduce them to just one chance per halftime,
01:51come on, then we have to make sure that we don't allow a chance at all per halftime. And this is
01:55more or less our approach. We are pretty, pretty focused, pretty, pretty concentrated, pretty calm.
02:00We are happy more or less with our approach with many things and tactical terms, but also know,
02:06okay, we want to, we want to win points. And for that, we have to be a bit more effective in those
02:10spots.
