Odds of Ed Miliband being next PM are hugely underrated.

Spurs fans tonight

The game is all open and crazy like at Newcastle,and that didn't end well. And yet my we have a big advantage. A smart team would close the game down and counter.

Farke to sit on his hands now while it goes wrong.

This was sent before the goal btw.

I take it back

No, this is not a sign that I have been kidnapped.

Farke is a genius

Now that’s what I call Bluesky Part 365

Well, neither have made a good album since 2016, if that helps your argument

trade offer

Great thanks Jeff. I think my wife has those places scoped out already.

Many thanks, I will look into it.

We're in Philadelphia next weekend. Any funky things you'd recommend checking out, or places to eat?

Agree wrt established teams being more complacent.
But also on the other side, we would've had Archie, Cry and Georgie had we gone up first time. So, would've had a better attack than we currently do.

I wonder if it's the other way round in that there are more of the established teams shitting the bed this time, making more opportunities to survive.
Would we have been one of the three that came up and went straight back down last season?

I don't understand the way some defend him. Even if you're not as down on him as you and I are, what is there that makes you want to ride to his defence?

Yes, that is how I see it, that'll be the case for a while yet, you can't build a high end PL squad over three transfer windows.
So, given that, we need a tactically adaptable manager.

Say something negative about Farke.

Recruitment has been a +ve net so far under this crew.
No reason why they wouldn't get this one right.

Bad habits will always out in the end.

I think that way, you do. I hope the decision makers at the club do too. I'm not convinced they do, but limping over the line might make the decision for them anyway.

He obviously has weird hang ups on some players.
We have two guys on the books that offer way more in the final third than Aaronson (and Stach) do as attacking players, but he won't use them.
Would you rule out him being that awkward about recruitment options as well?

Ultimately, he has done a good job. I've always had some reservations about him, but the job he did last season was good. But the step up is clearly too much for him.
Plenty of us accept that players are good for a level, or certain tactical situations. Why can't that be true of a coach? #lufc

I also find the self promotion frustrating. How often does he talk in an interesting or reflective way about his tactical choices, or what opposition coaches are doing tactically? This doesn't suggest someone who is strong on self reflection.
He tends to talk about player performance levels. #lufc

Intemperate (a cple of beers deep) language aside I stand by this
The Farke upside, such as it is, is mostly around squad harmony & wider club management.
We all see the tactical problems, the slowness to respond in game, the sometimes strange team selection and general squad management issues #lufc

I'm not certain they will. Ultimately, if we survive, it has to be called a successful season.
Though, the teams coming up will be pretty bad, so it could well be a really good opportunity to roll the dice on the coach and some more risky player recruitment.

He's very busy bad mouthing Farke in private.
I'm the only one brave enough to say it on the bearpit that is Bluesky😉

That's unfair. I've called Gruev shite many a time.

Better use of the squad isn't simply something that irks, it's him not getting the most out of the resources he has at his disposal.

And I'm not saying he's without his upsides. Overall he's been a decent hire, but his limitations are really now starting to cost us and it's time for a new approach
