Carragher: Physical approach could see Farke's men survive this season
Yorkshire Evening Post
|August 14, 2025
Jamie Carragher hopes a physical approach to the Premier League will see Leeds United avoid relegation after hearing Russell Martin highlight his Southampton struggles last season.
Martin lasted just 16 Premier League games at Southampton last season with his attempts to retain a play-out-from-the-back style ending in 13 defeats and a December sacking. Speaking as a guest on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football in March, he admitted regret at not tweaking his style to be more combative and harder to beat, with a summer of recruiting young, technically gifted players not paying off.
Leeds have welcomed seven new faces through the door with a clear focus on experience and physical strength, with five of those seven arrivals over six feet.
The spine of Daniel Farke's squad has been significantly bolstered by the likes of goalkeeper Lucas Perri, centre-backs Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw, midfield star Anton Stach and free agent striker Lukas Nmecha.
