I get to feel tired all day at work for the privilege of staying up to watch THAT. Sure, still unbeaten, and maybe Palace did a good job of blunting our attack, but that was scarcely better than dross. Hopefully, we aren't dished up too many matches like that over the course of the season. #lufc

HT, and the dampest of squibs. Never feels like we're going to concede, never feels like we're going to score. I feel comfortable enough that he won't hurt us that I'm going to declare Strand-Larsen absolute arse. #lufc

It would be nice to see Wilson get another crack on Monday, but I'd imagine we're more likely to get the extra half body into midfield by playing Tanaka next to Amps and Stach in that floating midfield/RAM role. Anton needs to lift his level beyond being a set-piece specialist. #lufc

Watch each of those Chelsea goals back. Zetterer could really only be asked to potentially get a little something stronger on the cross that reached Barco for the 4th. Other than that, he's no real right to save any of those. He's clearly not Trafford, but throwing him under the bus is harsh. #lufc

A point away to Brighton is a brilliant outcome for a Leeds side at this point of their evolution. But, when the comeback began, they should have been coming from 0-3 down. Honestly, our finishing is yuck. Even took us three cracks to score the goal! Still, unbeaten after three! #lufc

Villa have had to sell six of their Europa League winning XI this summer. Not exactly a springboard to further success. Almost like the game is rigged to hobble anyone not owned by a nation state or war criminal. Sustained success for Leeds is a looooooooong way away. #lufc

Willy needs to talk to the agent who got Jack Harrison his big, ridiculous, escape clause riddled contract after Leeds made him come back, halfway through his Leicester medical. Could earn himself some good cash and a nice little loan tour of Europe over the next couple of seasons. #lufc

You will take that every day of the week. We weren't up to much for fully 60 minutes, but did a relatively good job of keeping them quiet. Stach was terrible and brilliant. Trafford showed what a good shot-stopper looks like. Ampadu held it together in the middle. 3 points! #lufc

First twenty minutes was almost exactly what you want in a first game on the road. Then, the rest happened. Nothing diabolical, other than everything Stach touched or went near, but a bit sloppy and ponderous. Gotta stop getting stretched on the right. Bijol has been good. #lufc

There's a bit of a meltdown going on with the Aaronson contract. Anybody who can't look at what he provided last year and see how much EXTRA value it would provide as a squad player rather than a starter over the next three years has no foresight. We need depth. We need workers. He is that. #lufc
