We seem to have quite a few turds that won’t flush unfortunately.

I also don’t buy the too many new faces bit, we had them in early, one who knows club better than farke himself. Nucleus of team is steady and without looking most likely be less new faces than most.

Tactics have fucked us imo. We have a German Southgate in charge. Steady but dead.

Lose tomorrow and that's nearly 50% of our away matches we'll have lost. Inexcusable when you have a spine of Rodon, Struijk, Ampedu, Kamara and Piroe, Rutter. Best winger in the league in Summerville.

Seen a lot of folk say we need a new no.10 to unlock defences, and I'd love a quality no.10, it would certainly help. But in our recent away games I'm not seeing that as the only problem, I'm just seeing us outbattled, second best all over the pitch.

If we do get a no.10 he'll still play Rutter up top imo and take Piroe out. So we'd be taking 9 goals out of the team to put someone more creative in to set up chances for Rutter who can't finish his dinner. What's fuckin point of that?

Rutter has everything to be the best no.10 in this League imo. I know Farke wanted to put this to bed with his 20 minute rant. But another no show upfront tomorrow with Piroe being a hologram in his own half and I think it's time he answered this again.

Anyway, hopefully Farke will turn the away form round starting tomorrow. I don't have an issue with our home form, we win most weeks and even when we draw it usually involves us missing loads of chances. Away from home we look clueless to me half the time.

Quite why he felt the need to leave because of that disagreement is a bit odd though. Didn't seem that bad iirc. Just a bit heated.

But yeah the Piroe/Rutter thing makes fuck all sense to me either. League's best finisher played 20 yards behind league's best creator? Nah. Broken record or not it's a topic that ain't going away til performances justify it.
