I think AJS hit the nail on the head on another thread, if Farke does nothing at all we're on target for 89 points and 2 points per game, more or less. So why would he change a winning formula he trusts? Fans mightn't be too keen on the way through but if the end justifies the means... A couple of ...

Was a bit tongue in cheek Kev, admittedly.

Away to Blackburn.

Everton 1-1 Wolves
Man City 2-0 Nottingham Forest
Newcastle Utd 0-2 Liverpool
Southampton 1-3 Chelsea
Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
Aston Villa 1-1 Brentford

Watched all six, excellent stuff. I didn't realise how unlucky the U23's were in their last game against Arsenal. At 1-1 Mateo Joseph had a goal disallowed for offside but replays showed he was onside. Had they won that game they would have stayed up. You don't hear much about Sean McGurk but he ...

The issue he has is not realizing all other teams are scared of us and not pushing that advantage. The comparisons with the much slated Southgate are spot on imo. Safety first football with the handbrake on Farke worries way to much, gives other teams way too much respect, with the most talented ...

I am expressing my opinion and asking a question. How is that negative ? The baseline here is that choices are posted in order and without comment, and a placing made based on the totals. Opinions on other's choices can be made elsewhere, this isn't the place. As suggested, it might put posters off ...

Are you sure this "too safe and rigid" is all down to Farke and not the mentally of some of the players 🤔 I agree with what you are saying (to a degree) but how can we be sure it is by design? If ot wasn't by design Farke would change it? He's control before everything. Unfortunately, the best fl ...

Rodon
Struijk
Tanaka
Firpo
Gnonto
Bogle

I didn't think Tanaka was bad, just not on it as he has been lately.

I'd happily have stopped at one pick.

The more I think about it, the fact that it was Blackburn today was a bit incidental, we've seen that picture show many times before in recent seasons. Any team that scores and shuts up shop can beat us on regular occasions, we're consistent in a bad way. The Groundhog-Day aspect is the most ...

How many times was he offside in a short cameo? I couldn't believe it.

I take that back, went to the pub instead.

Right, away for a walk. Don’t want to hear from Daniel today, gutted.

Another glaring Cantwell miss.

Cantwell waltzes through two powderpuff tackles and should have scored.

We need them both.

This. They have us in their pocket at the back, crosses chipped in are useless.

We’re getting nothing out of this as it stands.

DO something Daniel.

They’ve brought us down to their level, scrappy in the middle, good game plan and well organised.

Me too, he’s being bullied time & again.
