Amid any speculation around how Farke may set Leeds up next season, this was a reminder of all that was good last term. Long throws, aerial assault, Rodon's bursts from deep, Bogle and Justin as inside forwards, Ampadu's dominance and Calvert-Lewin knitting it all together. So good to watch. #lufc

Leeds United are taking a hell of a swing on James Trafford. It's bold and ambitious. Even in limited minutes with Man City last season, he impressed, but the headline is that 24-25 campaign at Burnley. Conceding 16 in 45 remains an outrageous feat. Deeper dive here. #lufc
