Don’t rate him at all… I accept the difficulty of finding an understudy, but we have to be aiming (far) higher, imo. #lufc

Apparently, Farke’s still dead keen on Paixão - but the latter was after European foorball last year. Seems like he might be available again though.
Very sad news... whenever I get into debates about "old" football vs modern football, Baresi's name is the first I pull out. Made his debut in the late-70s and, other than teammate Paolo Maldini, has there been a better defender in world football? Not for me.

Haven’t seen any of the #lufc game bar the goal… but very pleased we managed to sign The Greatest Left-Sided CB In World Football™️
Now's the time for a cheeky bid for Harvey Barnes..... #lufc
Not been hugely moved by the prospect of Brandt... the age is a slight concern for the contract/wages he'd require, he doesn't exactly seem desperate to come, and there's not really a natural home for him in our best system. Rather we invested in an up-and-coming 9, a LW option and LB cover. #lufc

The number of pro-Israelis pretending to like that Boy George song is absolutely fucking *hilarious*…. !
Trafford will be our first Cumbrian since Scott Carson, I think… Liam McCarron grew up in Appleby but was born in Preston. #lufc #CumberlandGap
Think it’s more productive to analyse the final pre-season game rather than the first….. #lufc
Assuming we get Trafford, who is the next most upgradable player in our best XI? Both FBs have defensive issues imo, but I'd probably say Okafor. I hope he can use last year as a platform to deliver goals/assists consistently, but I also think he's a little one-dimensional. Paixao? #lufc

Kevin Keegan was the first footballer I ever knew about; his image was on the plastic football I got for my 5th or 6th birthday and he seemed to be on the front cover of every football annual under the Xmas tree... in late-70s Britain, he pretty much *was* football. #RIP

As we're figuring out how to say Muharemovic (moo-ha-rem-o-vitch), it's also a good time remind folk that Tarik is "taa-rek" (long first syllable, short second) not "ta-reek". You're welcome. #lufc
Nothing like the balm of an expensive new signing to soothe the pain of Anglo-Saxon ineptitude.... #lufc

I mean, we weren’t beating Spain so maybe it’s better to exit now…..

Horrible half. And the kind of game where one goal will be enough… although we might not even get that.
Enjoyed that… Spain playing like, well, Spain. Compact, composed, and coordinated, and easily dominating France’s CM, their one vulnerability. Need a second, though.
