The first international break of the season and the closure of the summer transfer window have presented Daniel Farke with an opportunity to reflect what has been a fairly solid return to the Premier League for Leeds United.
After the addition of ten new signings in the aftermath of last season’s Championship title win, there were high hopes the Whites could make an impact upon their return to the top flight of the English game and those hopes were raised further when Lukas Nmecha got the only goal of an opening night win against Everton.
A heavy defeat at title contenders Arsenal brought Leeds back down to earth with a bump - but a goalless draw with Newcastle United secured a solid but not spectacular opening to the Premier League as thoughts turned towards the international break.
