It seems to me that they only need a couple more players of Stach quality to make themselves an actual β€˜good’ team. There are still players in the squad who are not up PL speed quick enough when they get a game. Even with injuries Villa had a better choice from the bench. Still - 3 home wins πŸ˜€

Villa are a good team - better than us on paper - fortunately the game was played on a football pitch, so we got a point πŸ˜€

We don’t yet have the quality to kill a game in these circumstances but we do have the means to punch above our weight. #lufc are confident and well coached. A draw is a good result. 3 more home wins this season and we’ll most likely stay up. What more can you ask for right now?

#lufc maybe lack that extra edge to kill a game but given the squad and the quality they face in the PL - consistency is everything. You can always add extra class, you can’t just add confidence and a shared focus. And DF seems to have given them all the right stuff not to fail.

#lufc always better against power than trickery - so might be something in this game?

Top midfield - not sure why Bijol is out though? Maybe DF wants a natural left right footed back 3?

I loved Wuthering when I read it - it’s a thoroughly modern book that blends a kind of Old Testament brutality and poetry with an almost structuralist objectivism. And every adaptation of it sucked. This new one sounds awful but I ain’t seen it so maybe it’s fab*

He just got good so he’s obviously now crocked…

Tanaka not having a lot of great games these days. Maybe needs more actual game time before he goes downhill any further.

Yet again turned a promising squad in to GarbageBall excelsior. Shame on anyone who ever wanted him at #lufc πŸ˜‚

I bet Palace are glad they blew 45 million on a striker and not a new centre half.

He’s got a very workmanlike squad who play above their level on a regular basis - it’s not grit that turns Brendan Aaronson into a PL player! It’s persistence with the players and their ability. That’s what DF says at almost every press conference, so that must be his secret πŸ˜€

Those players can play like that because he coached to play like that. Faith in your team doesn’t make you anything but a good coach, surely?

Oh dear, how unlucky for Mr Palmer and his Chelsea colleagues

Never underestimate #lufc and their manager Mr Farke

Get him on the pitch - he’s the nearest thing to a difference maker we’ve got #lufc

Is this the bridge that Canada paid for, built from US steel and offered joint ownership to the US? Is Trump just jealous of what a proper social democracy can achieve? Is he just an envious lump of seepage and goo? So many questions.

Is he in goals? Just asking for a friend…

Bijol, Ampadu and Gruev are a very solid centre - is it 4 across the middle? JJ overlapping with JB? Confuse yourself and confuse the enemy?

Not on the team sheet - going for a 541 apparently - or is it 622? #lufc
