Four weeks ago, Farke felt Leeds could grind out results in August, but they'd need reinforcements to survive the season. Grind, they have. Four from nine. Now, he wants help. Last night showed what's good, what can work, but what's so badly missing #lufc

The Leeds manager wants attacking quality adding before the transfer deadline. Will he get it?

Farke couldn't be clearer. He feels they need more quality before Monday at 7pm and if they don't, 'it will be difficult' to stay up. #lufc.

DF: "I have spoken about Patrick several times. I don't want to bring it up again. I have said how much I respect him and his time here. He needs backing, an arm around the shoulder and we told him we could not do this. Cross fingers for him and his career moving forward." #lufc.

DF: "I don't play any games. I am honest. We will try everything to get the best squad. Everyone is aware and wants to add quality. This is crucial. If not, we will not raise the white flag. It would be difficult if we didn't add anyone, but we will go from there." #lufc.

DF: "Lucas came with an injury. Two clean sheets always good. We know he can improve his kicking. We don't want him acting like a 10 or additional outfield player, but room for improvement. Needs time with GK coach. Main thing is saving the ball. So far, so good." #lufc.

DF: "Always hope for transfers. We were honest about where we are. Good path. Strengthened defence and midfield. Dominic will be good for us. Noah was on the bench for an emergency. We need more quality options upfront. Trying to do this." #lufc.

DF: "Pleased with the start to the season. Four points. Two clean sheets. Today played one of the best sides in the UK. Not much between the two teams. A well-deserved point. We had probably the best chance. Don't want to be too greedy." #lufc.

Full-time: 0-0. There to be won with better quality in final third (Monday by 7pm etc), but encouraging account from Leeds after a rotten preceding week. Longstaff and Bogle impressive. Hard to believe anyone would have frowned at four points from these opening three games. #lufc.

Bogle's been given a game by Livramento tonight, but he has been ace, yet again. So consistent whenever he's on the field. Up and down, he never stops. Good defensive reads, meticulous dribbles at the other end. #lufc.

The energy in this stadium for a Leeds shot on target. Bogle carries for 14 miles downfield before threading Calvert-Lewin in, channel, off the right, breath held, low shot booted away by Pope. #lufc.

Both teams suddenly looking very tired. Feels like it's going to be an error or fresh legs that decide it. Justin coming on. Gudmundsson getting treatment. #lufc.

Harrison doing well. Battling, winning 50-50s and then plays a cracking cross into Calvert-Lewin, but his first touch is woeful. Changes having an impact for the hosts. #lufc.

Very nervous moment as Gnonto deflects a Trippier cross. Struijk goes across Perri's line of vision to head it and misses the ball completely. Perri can only parry, but Gruev thankfully heads it to safety. #lufc.

Half-time. Better. Steadied the ship after a horrible seven days. Can see the game plan and it feels like it's working, save the final touch of quality around the Newcastle box. Longstaff decent. Nmecha's justified his selection as a physical outlet. #lufc.
