Dark Munster

The world's most overrated manager. That will finally end when he gets sacked (yet again), because surely by then everyone (except him) will wake up to the fact that's he's actually pretty crap.

If so I would claim, as it ended as a draw, that our unbeaten run would continue. A win-win as we avoid the extra match and probable stuffing at Anfield, and can focus on the league.

Don't look behind you skates, the two just below have 2-3 games in hand, not to mention Derby in 4th who can get within 1 point if they win their game in hand!

Promotion is never pointless when you can pocket £100m for finishing bottom.

Sheff Utd finished second on 91 points last season. Shows you how much stronger the Championship is this year. They'd probably be struggling to make the playoffs if they were in our league this season.

Sign up their goalkeeper in the summer!

Rasmus?

Sorry Enzo, I didn't catch that. How many games have you won this season?

I hope they get us!

Yes but the question is what did we prefer, Ipswich or Leicester losing? Obviously it’s irrelevant how we play (except when we play them). I’d be happy with Ipswich and Leeds dropping points, and Leicester winning, each week as it improves our chances of going up.

Pound for pound surely our worst signing ever.

That's a good summary of the two options. I'd take 2. any day of the week.

Is he allowed to play in a women's team?

It’s us that has all the pressure. If we don’t go up we lose our best players and the descent into a Swansea begins. On the other hand if Ipswich, with a wage bill tiny compared to ours, fail to go up they can dust themselves off and give it another crack next season. Their only concern is maybe losing their excellent manager.

There's a Jason Puncheon joke in there somewhere.

That's true, but unfortunately 3 teams going for 1 auto place is where we find ourselves. Leicester aren't finishing below 2nd.

It's worth repeating that it's not about resting them, it's about avoiding risking injuries to key players.

They won't if we don't go up this season.

At least Les Reed didn’t get us relegated.

Yes, and that is why we can afford to try lots of more ambitious attacking long and through balls. High reward when it works, so well worth it against opposition who are of lower calibre where we can quickly get the ball back, when inevitably it doesn’t work every time.

Compare today's performance with the likes of the ones against Huddersfield, Rotherham, Boro etc., and in most of the matches earlier in the season. It's night and day, completely different, and not "taking time to learn the new style". RM himself admitted as much in the pre match presser, where he said he'd got it wrong earlier.

Oh really? The "naysayers" were saying that we wouldn't make the top two, and probably not go up, if we continued to play crab, sideways, possession football. They said the squad was one of the best in the division and should be taking the game to the opposition. In short, exactly how we played today. The yaysayers were saying our squad wasn't that good, had scar tissue, and needed more time to perfect the sideways, possession football. Naysayers 4 Yaysayers 0

I disagree about it being a tweak. His earlier pedestrian possession style was what he brought from Swansea. Now we are very different, front footed from the beginning, consistently putting the other team under pressure, which causes the other team to eventually tire, with the flood gates then opening. The opposite of the sideways, pedestrian stuff earlier, which usually ended up was wasting half a match with lost opportunities and letting the other team get organised, as well as a waste of our superior squad. I make no apologies for the earlier criticisms, but I am delighted he has turned it around brilliantly. Today the performance was almost perfect (and it would've still have been so even if we hadn't scored all those goals). For me there was never a doubt about his excellent man manager skills, but he has shown that he has learned from his past tactical mistakes and is now getting the most from his players. Well done RM!
