Norwich City suffered a 3-2 defeat at home to Leeds, extending their run to just one win in six league matches. Manager Daniel Farke insists that the team’s recent pattern does not concern him, despite losing late on at Swansea and letting two points slip at Coventry City. Farke’s substitutions, selections, and game management are now being closely scrutinized. However, he believes that the team’s performance against Leeds shows that they are capable of breaking this trend.
Farke emphasizes the importance of consistency in performances, stating that if the team can perform consistently at the level they have shown against Leeds, they will eventually start winning games. He acknowledges the challenge presented by Middlesbrough, who are on a good run, but remains confident that with slight improvements, the team will secure their next win. He highlights the players’ effort, commitment, and brave football but admits they lacked composure in crucial situations, an area they need to improve on.
Despite being booed by a section of the home support, Farke remains unfazed by the criticism and praise that comes with the nature of the game. His focus is on ensuring that the team consistently performs at a good level. He admits to being unhappy with the team’s performances prior to the international break but believes that if they can maintain consistency, victories will come, and results will turn from frustration to praise.
Farke’s faith lies in the players, as he aims to instill confidence, belief, and trust in them. He acknowledges the positives from the Leeds performance and wants the players to see them as well. He understands that football works in cycles of criticism and praise, and by focusing on consistent performances, the team will eventually start winning games and earning praise once again. Farke remains optimistic despite the recent setbacks, confident that one win can be the catalyst for a positive turnaround.
