Farke began by paying tribute to club legend Terry Yorath, who has died at the age of 75: "Very sad news. It is a part of life and he will never be forgotten - he will always be part of our Leeds family. Despite a "tough run" of four games in 10 days, Farke insisted he is a "big believer in cup competitions" and "loves this traditional cup". Of course, last few games Lucas had situations he could have saved and decision-making wasn't great. I'd rather try not to sugar-coat it and be honest about it, instead of hiding behind elephant in the room."
