Gonna put it out there...thought Perri was bang on today...won it with his 1st half worldy save & pen save at the end...earned his spot back with Darlow a bit shaky last couple of games? #lufc

Bit disappointed. Don't think we should be risking injury-prone players in this game. Nmecha & Okafor should be wrapped in cotton wool for bigger challenges ahead. That said, in Farke we trust #lufc

My 11 for Sunday: Perri/Byram/Bornauw/Bijol/Justin/Tanaka/Longstaff/Buonanotte/James/Piroe/Gnonto. More than enough to see off Brum #lufc

Forest collectively making Cole Palmer look like a sharpshooter #lufc

Let's be honest, we didn't deserve that. Chelsea far, far better. Astonishing comeback, but Palmer's miss at the end was as ridiculous a gift to us, as Bijol's lunatic push was a gift to them. Crazy, crazy stuff. #lufc

Too quick & too good for us. Need scum to do us a favour. As long as we exit the Man City game ahead of WHU I'll be happy. If they lose to scum, that's a given #lufc

Difficult to pick out any one player tonight - all superb. Okafor finally looks capable of a full 90, Gruev exceptional, Gabby brilliant, Bogle magnificent. Got home games under the lights v Sunderland & Brentford PLUS home games v Burnley & Wolves...I'm predicting 12pts from those & home free #lufc

I'm relaxed about Larsen -£48m is silly money - but not so relaxed about leaving this window without bringing in backup for DCL & Nmecha. Leaves us vulnerable #lufc

Genuinely reckon by the end of Feb we'll be ahead of Spurs in the table. #lufc

Truth is, folks, our survival equation is startlingly simple: match West Ham's result each week & we stay up. By that measure, it's been a great weekend. Onward...#lufc

Feels like tonight's game is pivotal. Lose & the 5pt gap looks vulnerable. Win and we maintain the 8pt gap AND go level with rapidly dropping Palace & Spurs, dragging them into it. #lufc

I'm not gonna judge Buonanotte harshly for choosing Chelsea over us in the Summer. Remember, we were a pretty much nailed on relegation candidate as a newly promoted side then, & the kid didn't fancy feeding on scraps. It's a compliment to our progress that he now sees us as a viable option. #lufc

I just hope Farke isn't tempted to call on DCL to retrieve this. Get Bijol, Ethan, Ao & Okafor off the pitch and let it go. #lufc

I don't want DCL or Brendan anywhere near the team or bench for Derby. Wrap 'em up in cotton wool, Daniel. #lufc

I'm looking forward to the forthcoming, surely inevitable, press conference, where Gianni Infantino angrily demands the return of his FIFA "Peace" Prize.

Forest lose. West Ham 0-2 down. Burnley losing. Beat that lot tonorrow & it's a long, long way back to us #lufc

Last 2 games - West Ham at home vs Brighton (14th) & Fulham (11th) - 1 point. Leeds away vs Liverpool (4th) & Sunderland (7th) - 2 points. Bodes well. #lufc

It went unnoticed because of the offside, but take another look at DCL's finish - the lad's on fire 💥 #lufc

Wasn't expecting DCL on the bench, tho. Or Justin. Or Gruev. Looks like we're saving ourselves for Sunday.

I'd like to see Borneauw introduced in a back 5 this afternoon. As good a time as any, in a game we're expected to lose, esp given Rodon's absence, & will have Bijol & Struijk alongside to help him. #lufc

I'll go out on a limb - if we keep DCL fit, we stay up. #lufc

Joffy's now joint top scorer in the Ch, by the way. Just saying. #lufc

Jeez, this World Cup draw is excruciatingly naff. Thought the low point was Trump's comical "peace" prize, but it's deteriorated from there...#lufc

Surely, now, Daniel has to acknowledge that Ao is every inch a PL player; that Bijol in the right system is a force to be reckoned with; that a back 3 is a must; and, sad as it may seem, persevering so long with Brendan was a terrible mistake. Oh, & Nmecha & DCL as a front 2 is non-negotiable #lufc

Corberan or Rogers will have to do...but if it's Postecoglou just lock up, turn the lights out, and fuck off home #lufc

I'm sorry, Daniel - but taking Tanaka off and leaving Brendan on is simply ridiculous. #lutv
