#lufc If it was 2 points for a win, I could understand the ‘draw at all costs’ approach - but if we’d won one of the last four and lost the rest we’d be on the same points! When games are up for grabs we seem content to just play out a draw, regardless of the quality of the opposition.

#lufc We’ve waited 20 odd years to be favourites against these so embrace it. Also the idea that the Martinez stuff has somehow done them good is a bunch of arse. If we turn up, they are there for the taking.

#lufc A bunch of upstarts from the North went down to that big London and nearly beat Legoman’s billionaire media darlings. Thank goodness they didn’t for the good of football. Normal service is resumed.

#lufc No keeper in the world is stopping the first three goals (including Trafford). Fourth took a deflection. I’ll concede that for the fifth he could have got a stronger hand on it. Freak deflection on the sixth. Midfield let a coach and horses through second half, dig them out.

#lufc This is why despite the love-in on here I can’t stand Farke. Clear we’d lost midfield after 5 minutes of the second half yet he sits on his hands. Total inability to react to changes in a game.

#lufc It took us the best part of a month to persuade our second choice keeper to join us. We’re not gonna pull a rabbit out of a hat tomorrow folks. Just hope our best forwards can stay fit/get fit…

#lufc I do have some sympathy with the recruitment team’s predicament. You can have as many targets as you want, but most of them get gobbled up by the Big Shitbag Six in the last 48 hours. Our decent signings always happen early in the window.

#lufc The most pleasing thing about today is that we’ve picked up where we left off last season in terms of being really difficult to beat. No way could I see us nicking a point after chasing shadows first half but there’s a real grit about this side that will always match better technical players.

#lufc Fantastic point against a talented and well-coached side. Team showed real resilience led by Nmecha and Tanaka in the second half. Credit to Farke for changing formation and stemming the tide.

#lufc This reminds me of Arsenal at home last season. We set up to sit back, gave them far too much respect and they just picked us off. Need to go 4-3-3 and at least give them something to think about. Wilson on for Bijol.

#lufc Great having a solid back line and the best keeper in the country, but if that’s all you’ve got, eventually a team like this will find something. Buy some decent forward players Leeds, or at least play the ones you’ve got.

#lufc If we can convince Chelsea to loan us Mudryk on reasonable terms and bag Flemming (and possibly Leite after the deadline), would that be a successful window? Absolutely. Do I think any of that will happen? No.

#lufc Not been following the rumours last few days but is it looking likely we’re not getting anyone in? Relying on two injury prone strikers and a similarly brittle left winger is a massive risk.
