The league is too unpredictable at present. We beat West Ham easily, Newcastle beat us easily and West Ham just beat Newcastle easily. Go figure. I did a bet builder last night, based on Newcastle's performance against us and got 2 right out of 10. The game is all about attitude. After manager and player of the month awards, we were briefly 3rd and played like we just needed to turn up. Regardless of our next opponents, we need the hard work that got us up the league in the first place. If not, we will drop points again. FTID.

Agreed Scouse. I watched both games on Sky on Sunday afternoon. I thought Onana saved Man Utd from defeat at Ipswich and bottom v top Saints could ans perhaps should have got at least a point against Liverpool. If it wasn’t for their managers ridiculous insistence on playing out from the back which cost them the first goal ( and a nasty bounce of the ball for the penalty) they’d might even have won. Crazy times!

We play out from the back to stokey
You know we get a goalkick and the goalkeeper doesn't take it?
Murillo passes it sideways to milenkovic and we play forwards from there I believe is what happens.

Agreed DTP but we have the quality of players who can do that, Southampton don’t. It’s beyond them and it’s cost them, I believe, 8 goals this season already.
Like SC Martin should adopt his style to the type of players he’s got.

Burnley under Kompany were the same last season DTP mate. Teams like that need a Dyche type manager.

I think Nuno is less of a purist than Martin. Against certain opposition, if we are weathering a storm, the players have permission to launch it long, particularly Sels. We are lucky to have players like Murillo who can do it.
Pickford at Everton plays entirely differently for them than he does for England because, unless it’s a simple pass, he hits it long usually into touch. Dyche recognises that anyone who thinks Pickford is a ball playing goalkeeper needs sectioning under the Mental Health Act imo! ??.
