Read moreIt is almost one year to the day when the Leeds manager, Daniel Farke, produced the tactical overhaul many observers believe saved his job. That day, Farke abandoned his trusted 4-3-3 when Leeds were 2-0 down at Manchester City and although they lost the game, the 3-5-2 he reverted to was the bedrock for the success that followed.
