They're billing a 'comedy support act'. That's gonna have to be one funny S.O.B. to generate bigger laughs than the idea of Dean Saunders being a legend.

The fuck even is this? Looks like ol' boy has a thing for murder and money.

Some (most) cup days you can tell it's just not going to happen. Despite a slow start, this has never looked disjointed. A nice first-half display, highlighted by the Gabi/Willy axis. Solid finishing and a sound defence goes a long way. 2-0

Piroe has been additive with his touches. If he could get on the ball 10% more, he would be an absolute menace. 2-0
#lufc

Gabi has deserved that. 2-0
#lufc

LONGSTAFF! Surely we can find a reason to scratch that off on VAR? Wait - they're actually kicking-off. The goal stands! MIRACLE!!! 1-0
#lufc

We are never going to be given a penalty again. How many awful referees do we have to endure this season? 0-0
#lufc

Gudmundsson needs to never shoot from distance. Ever.
#lufc

Champo-style 4-2-3-1!
#lufc

3-5-2? Gabi on the left of a back three, with Dan and Willy as th wing-backs?
#lufc

Still 15th

Definitely a hold your nerve time for us fans, but for Farke, it's probably more a moment to take stock and really pick a course that is going to go and TAKE what we need from the run-in. Last night was a lean into conservatism. We've been our best when we push our opponents.
#lufc

You could see from the first twenty minutes that there was no energy and nothing was happening between the lines. How we've ended that game without Tanaka on the pitch is beyond me.
#lufc

Note, the VAR couldn't wait to get stuck into the Ampadu handball, but when Struijk had his head ripped off his shoulders by O'Nien in the box, not even a check. Just infuriating.
#lufc

Utterly inept, from start to finish. Happy to trust Farke on the line-up, but it proved to be a team completely bereft of energy and ideas. Just so poor. We deserved nothing out of that, and when you've had as much ball as we did, it's saying something.

Still makes it, like, the sixth best movie ever

At times, we stop supporting the out ball. Midfielders and wing-backs who had previously been sprinting out of defence to get the seconds off of DCL tend to stay back, which invites yet another wave of pressure. That is usually the result of sustained possession by the opposition. A bit of both.

I'm no expert, but is the universe giving you a thumbs up? 👍

Jesse Marsch needs to find a new hobby • The Square Ball Now that Jesse Marsch has resorted to using spreadsheets in defence of his Leeds United tenure, we think it's time he finds something better to do with his time.

A point away to third place Villa is excellent going. We offered very little in that second half (again), but to concede like that from a corner is dead unlucky. Nobody really stood out, so the genius Stach has to be the MOM.
#lufc

Bummer. 1-1
#lufc

Nah, I don't like this. The intent has disappeared in both directions. Whether it's a change in plan or just the players losing their flow after the break, they're off the boil. If this continues, get me Longstaff and James. 0-1
#lufc

Yep, for all his endeavour, Gabi looked off it today. 0-1
#lufc

Offside man was the target, but never came in to play. Though, Justin only heads it BECAUSE the offside man is there. It's one of those ones where we all see what has happened, but because the ref would have to read minds to be certain of everyones intent, he can only go by the letter of the law.

A very aggressive, defensive displays. We've had a plan to limit the Villa playmakers, and it's worked beautifully. Everyone wonderful, though the final pass/decision from Gudmundsson could do with improving. Just a few signs of looking g to hold on as the half drew to a close. Maintain!
#lufc

You glorious bastard, ANTON STACH!!!! 0-1

But, somewhat predictable

Unfortunately, the majority of the voting public were either racists, idiots, or racist idiots, and voted for the guy who promised to nickel and dime them.

Norwich, you say? So, essentially the exact same game as we've played in the two previous rounds. Except, at home!
