Leeds United boss Daniel Farke looked like a man boiling with anger at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, as his side were hammered 3-0 by Brighton.
The defeat at the Amex Stadium in Brighton was one of the worst Leeds performances this season, and now reports say Farke could drop one of his Leeds United new signings after losing his patience completely.
The United v Brighton clash was supposed to be a fresh start for Leeds after some mixed results, but it turned into a nightmare at the Amex Stadium.
From the first whistle, Brighton looked sharper, stronger, and smarter, while Leeds looked lost and lifeless.
Farke Furious With His Summer Signing
Farke was seen shouting on the touchline during the first half, and it’s said his frustration was mainly aimed at Noah Okafor, one of his big Leeds United signings from the summer transfer window.
Okafor was supposed to bring energy and creativity to the attack, but instead, he kept losing the ball and slowing down play.
Fans watching the game noticed that the Leeds manager’s body language told the full story.
According to local reports, Farke was visibly fuming when Okafor failed to track back or move into space during several attacks.
It’s said that Farke even had “words” with the Swiss winger during the game, showing just how annoyed he was with his performance.
Leeds’ attack looked flat and clueless, with Brighton taking full control. Okafor’s poor touches and bad passing added to the frustration.
He lost possession again and again, allowing Brighton to keep the pressure on.
The Leeds signings made this summer were expected to make the team more dangerous, but at the Brighton Amex Stadium, they looked far from it.

Possession Problems & Lost Trust
Okafor’s stats show the full story, he lost the ball too many times, with poor passing accuracy and weak touches.
Even though he tried to take players on, his final product was missing. Leeds were constantly under pressure because they couldn’t keep the ball.
Farke has always demanded discipline and focus from his players, and Okafor’s sloppy play at the Amex Brighton may have crossed the line.
With players like Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James now available, Farke might decide to drop Okafor to the bench for the next match.
The Leeds United signing news suggests Farke could rotate his squad and make changes ahead of the next fixture.
If Okafor doesn’t improve soon, his place in the starting XI could be in danger.
Leeds Needs Answers Fast
The 3-0 loss against Brighton showed serious cracks in Leeds’ system. They looked weak in defence, toothless in attack, and lost for ideas in midfield.
Brighton took advantage of every mistake and made Leeds look second-rate.
Farke is now under pressure to get things back on track. The fans want answers, and they want results. The Leeds United signings brought in during the summer transfer window were supposed to lift the team, not drag it down.
As the team prepares for their next game after the United Brighton embarrassment, one thing is clear, Daniel Farke won’t hesitate to make big decisions.
If his players don’t step up, some of them could be dropped fast.
