We are not blessed with quality attacking players tbh. We've been playing something closer to the Sunderland rôle in most of our games so far, and have had little practice at breaking down that level of unwillingness to play football.

I dont think it was even a stinker. We just weren't up to the standard required. A little jaded and lacking the creative spark required to break down a team who are determined not to be.

So think we'll get 20 points too! Great to hear you share my (over) optimism. #lufc

Indeed. Perhaps Im hormonal. Feeling unusually positive

Isn't it just, though? Esp with 3 games in London.

How many points do you think well finish on? Here's my optimistic take on how many pts we'll get
v Sun 3
Pal v 1
v Bren 3
Scum v 1
v Wol 3
Bou v 1
v Bur 3
Tot v 3
v Bri 3
WHa v 1
Total 22
I would argue they are all winnable games

Bravo

I am probably being a tad over optimistic. Every season under Farke we have got better over the ssn. The quality of the opposition in the last few games may have masked us coming into our prime in the crunch time period.

The way Citeh reacted at the end wasn't just because they are in the title race. They were relieved simply in the context of the game. I think this run of games we've just had was like training with weights on. Now for the real thing. Its possible we get another 20 points. Did I just say that?

The way we played yesterday. That is not a team that is getting relegated. I think we'll finish above Sunderland.

The Mail calls out racism on its back page, while promoting unsubstantiated, outright racism on its front page.

It could've, I agree, but I would argue that on the evidence of full time, they were more fatigued than we were, so perhaps fatigue wasn't the reason we couldn't get out of our half for 15 mins, and fresh legs weren't the reason we had them under pressure for the last 20. Both teams 'n' that.

I apologise for giving the impression i thought that you personally wanted him removed. That was not my intention. I have interacted with plenty on here who do, and use that as a justification esp. now so many of their previous reasons have gone. My post was an attempt to agree with you.

How so?

This is my kitchen wall. I will love the man forever. We all knew his flaws, but were willing to accommodate them. A lot of people who rail against Farke for the timing of his subs (of all things) have to ask themselves if it's the subs or Farke himself they have a problem with.

Whatever he does he can't win unless we win, which was always unlikely. If they work but we don't win, it should have been sooner, if they don't work it was the wrong choice, as if there was ever a choice that was guaranteed to work. The other thing looks great in hindsight.

Every team has fans who have doubts. Having doubts is not enough justification for call for him to go. Its a pipe dream to think you will every get one about whom you have no doubts.

If you look at the table of average time of first sub in the PL the range goes from something like 68 mins at the bottom to 79 mins at the top. Farke is in the low 70s. I.e. they are all the same.

So now we have definitive proof that Guardiola is leaving Man City at the end of the season. No one who knows he is going to have to come back to Elland Rd next season would deliberately set themselves up to have an entire stadium shout 'wanker wanker' at him cos they know it winds him up. #lufc

I agree.

I believe the share it

As you were sending this message I took a stray one from Graham Norton
