Anyone heard anything from those Sheffield Utd fans who said Bogle was shit and Jamie Shackleton was better? Hope they have managed to heal their brain injuries. #lufc
Messi = left footed
Gruev = left footed
Make of that what you will #lufc
The fear is that Dyche makes changes, and Farke takes too long to respond. Just have to hope we add to the scoreline early doors and put it beyond doubt.
We struggled in the opening 10-15. Forest looked more likely to score. But then a moment of magic from Gruev/Bogle flipped the game and from then onwards we were solid and earned the lead.
But they did start creeping in control towards the end of the half #lufc

Big numbers to say we've played Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle & Man Utd in this time.
Let's just agree to disagree because this is just going in circles here.
Thats because it was tactically obvious. If everyone tells you you're drunk then maybe you should sit down is the age old adage and its true here.
Even if it definitely wouldn't stop us conceding its better than doing nothing. At least then you can say you tried to stem the tide
We praise him when he gets things right and switches to a 3-5-2 and he has had a lot of praise. We're allowed to criticise if we feel he got something wrong. It doesn't take away the praise for the good hes doing
But with the back 4 what do you also have? Extra bodies in wide areas. We could have more effectively doubled up on their wide players and also engaged them further up the pitch. Was it not as much a risk to do nothing till 83rd minute?
It would have put pressure on Everton further up the pitch, more bodies in attacking areas. Would also helped us to attack their back 3 better. Farke even mentioned it in his presser. He knows his mistake too
Everton were slowly getting control of the game from halftime when Moyes made his changes, and the longer Daniel waited, the more obvious it became that we were going to concede. Not a matter of if we would, but when we would.
I was happy with a point before this game kicked off. But with the way that played out I'm disappointed. I've never know a manager with a bigger fear of change than Daniel Farke when we're winning. The change to 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 was obvious from 55 minutes in and he waited too long #LUFC
Should Leeds sign Jorgen Strand-Larsen seems to be the current question on the lips of #LUFC fans. There is a growing number saying no to this question and that the fee we are likely to pay - Circa £40mil. Is too much.
We believe we should sign him.

Apologies. There were some issues with our recording software. We were later than usual and couldn't wait to correct the issue any longer

So, we're not allowed to criticise our manager when he makes mistakes but our manager is allowed to publicly criticise his players? Sound. Also i would be happy to play D&D. My character will be a half elf Druid who shapeshifts into a bear.
I want to see the most Haram of mid/low blocks in the second half. Outside of the period after they scored, we've been excellent and imposed ourselves on them physically and technically
But we can't keep it up, need to make things solid. They struggle to breakdown low blocks. #LUFC
All very accurate. Our issues with Farke were entirely playstyle related. Never was stats related like was previously said. Now hes showing he can be adaptable. My main concerns are gone. Just hope he doesn't revert to type
We still were physical and ran a lot before the end of November, and it wasn't the running which increased. Just the way we attacked. Not playing it slow and going more direct. All season we will have had these levels. Farke has mentioned previously that we were high in running stats
Viz from EPL Analytics on Twitter. Would tag but don't think they have a bluesky account.
This squad was built to absolutely dominate in all things physical. Whether that's strength, stamina or overall athletism. But its Farke earning all the plaudits after it took him till end of November to play to its strengths. #LUFC
The real kings are our recruitment team 👑
He had a big task on his hand to start with, but hes not exactly changed a whole lot so far. This does wonders for my anti Nuno agenda
We are currently running at 1.11ppg. West Ham are at 0.72.
To hit 40 we need 20 points which would be 1ppg.
West Ham have to get 27 which is 1.35ppg.
That's a big swing. Im feeling much better about our chances of staying up now. #LUFC
We have a special bonus pod, just for our Pablo tier subscribers, we scouted some players who may well fit the bill to improve the squad in January. #LUFC

Apologies Emil. I think I was sitting a little far away from the mic. Will make sure I'm closer next. I sit back a bit so I can take in what Jon was saying and forgot to sit forward 🙃
