My opinion, there’s too much focus on the result at Anfield. Leeds competed for 80mins, conceded once and two daft pens. Firpo was fantastic vs Salah, Forshaw brilliant in midfield. Talk is cheap, but if you’re judging on results, we are 15th and certainly not ‘down’ #lufc

It’s a bit early for eulogies yet, but Bielsa worked overnight miracles at Uruguay, like he did at #lufc . He inherited the spine of a great team, polished up the peripheral players, plucked some gems out of obscurity, and taught them Bielsaball over zoom. Genius of a man 🙌
