Playoffs are basically knockout football.

They can often be decided by special individuals and talent.

If that's the case we have a good chance.

If its decided by in game management and tactical battles we are in trouble.

Anyway we could be promoted by this time next week

Is this a debate about in general or whose left?

Apart from James and to a lesser degree Firpo (all be it a £13mil full back at this level is phenomenally expensive).

Possibly right.

In general he spent a fortune on quite a lot of crap.

I can also drink coffee and eat cake- he is just a big timer. Sacking Farke having achieved 90 points is a ridiculous concept in my opinion. Do I think he is untouchable - No. if we do not go up I would be hugely surprised if he is not in charge next season. Although the board will expect nothing l...

Will hurt the ego of the Liverpool fans.

He's basically 3rd choice.

Genuinely hadn't noticed and hasn't been mentioned I don't think.

Poor Udders as irrelevant as they have been for 100 years.

But been relegated to League 1.

Think some have just put so much into hyping Farke, they don't want to accept any fallacies. Big Sam, Gracia and Marsch would all be slated for the things Farke gets a free pass for. I could understand it with Bielsa, since he had all that legacy, but Farke? He's just an average manager who will be...

The problem is we signed them for the PL and not the Championship, so they will only go down as poor signings tbh. Not so much Summerville and Gnonto, but the likes of James and Rutter definitely. Poor signings for where we were fine for now. He was raving few months back about how well Georgie was...

The summer thing is overrated anyway. Gnonto and Sinisterra refused to play in 2 games, so we only dropped 5 points over that time. We dropped more than that over Christmas. Summer doesn't excuse woeful performances against QPR, Preston, Stoke, West Brom, Sunderland, Rotherham, Coventry etc. I agre...

Orta signed them for the future….and let’s not forget James was a player Bielsa had to have, not that that was wrong. Orta’s youth team stuff was just top class I won't debate Orta as I thought he was a pretty useless arrogant tosser focused on his own reputation and his desire to sign the next big...

I remember I said in the summer that Summerville and Gnonto should be scoring 20 goals at this level, using Nathan Tella as an example for why. Gnonto probably would if he wasn't frozen out in the first half of the season. This idea that they weren't good enough for the Championship and Farke made ...

Some folks have their Orta and others have their Farke. Sling shite long enough at someone and some of is bound to stick. We make concessions for Farke when he goes on a long unbeaten run, but just let him trip up and out come the knives. Jimmy and Willy that dynamic Orta duo are praised when bangi...

In fairness CJAY - the club origins of a goalkeeper or any player means very little. Few keepers actually arrive on the scene having started at a big club. McKenna has built a decent squad by using what he inherited and adding the right blend of players, not just based on talent but experience and ...

Ok. And who bought the vast majority of our feckin garbage huh ? Who assembled DF's trash ? You throw around multi million pound figures as if DF spent it all, he is still sifting thru the shite, whilst managing to make some look okay. We have a guy on here that worships the circus ground the clown...

All the negatives you can find yet again. What about all the positives, are there none at all ? The amazing run, when he even virtually shut you up, clawing back 17pts and the runaway 2, what about beating those top 2 home and away with spot on tactics ? He is in part a victim of his own success, e...

I highlighted in an earlier post there are aspects of our game we don't excel in, unlike other clubs. We need to recruit players in the summer with the credentials/skills we are sadly lacking. I never get excited about us gaining a corner or a free-kick, pointless as they often lead to nothing. But...

Sorry but opposition fans seeing us playing the "oh dear look how weak our squad is line" would pish themselves laughing. The QPR fan who was on here or the Millwall fan ask them if they'd like Dan James on the bench or Piroe or Conor Roberts or even Charlie Cresswell. The Ipswich goalie w...

We are no way good enough to compete in the PL.

That goes for the manager as well presumably?

Besides players without limitations don't play 2nd division football.

Oh Jesus, such humbleness. You've never wanted DF from the start, you barely give him credit for anything at all. You have been stamping your feet like the child you are since day 1 of DF's tenure, you point blank refuse to point out any positives but pounce on negatives, some which are made up fro...

Is it? We rarely score from corner-kicks. Our defence struggles to deal with corner kicks We haven't got anyone who can produce a goal from a free-kick. We rarely score goals from outside the box. Headed goals are also a rarity. A central midfield & two centre-backs who haven't scored a champio...

I`m assuming this is a general football thread ? (sorry im quite new here lol) What does everyone think of the media talking about a quad for Klopp last month And all they have now is their open top carabo cup parade in may We actually have threads for Premier league and Championship. But this has ...
