Our best players speak Spanish or French anyhow. Problem solved, if there ever was one.

I've never had trouble understanding him, it's just a bit of an adjustment - but I thought his English already sounded clearer, going by the latest presser.

Great if we had a 5 game season we would be 6th.

It does put all the doom and gloom after Sundays performance into perspective though.

yes shame we've bottled both cups or we'd now be playing in the semi-final of the league cup against Forest

All the money they have and this is the shite they post vs. lads on twitter just doing it for enjoyment have far better content.
Like this makes it look like a change in shape and better shot conversion is the only reason things are better. No mention of better chance creation or the fact

Remember the spurs game last season ? - tonight was the reverse. Leeds pumelled us for the first 45.
But then their energy levels dropped and we were able to slice through quite a bit in the second half.
I don't know if it's a plan - but we seem to finish games strongly - we could have won against wolves for example. And despite the late scare tonight we looked like we had a goal in us in the latter stages.

At 2-0 up we had a couple of chances to put the game to bed.

Yet again made some changes which contributed to shifts within the game in our favour.

If Gerrard was still in charge I think VP would've been empty.

As it stands . No one has won more premier league points than us since Unai came in.
Last 6 under Unai - 4 wins
Previous 17 under YTS slippy G - 3 wins.

I’m not an expert
Interesting read. I’m a bit careful to judge too much after 6 games, as Stevie G’s first 6 games had us all in a false sense of hope, but Unai is a different gravy.
Gerrards stats are summed up by Coutinho’s play. Too many touches, not moving the ball quick enough and ending up with long range shots.
The Ollie Watkins heat map is stark, perhaps Gerrard wasn’t helping him perform.

In the EPL for me its not just the win record that is impressive. It is also the games that we've won. Beat Manure finally, back to back away wins, and even last night. Was a game that didn't change the position in the table but the win changed the outlook. Instead of being top of the bottom group, we're around the bottom of the top and there's a gap below.

Shame we didn't get something out of the Liverpool game which I thought we should have but we'd all take 4 wins and draw from each batch of 6 games

We have of course played more than most so that distorts things I guess but still a decent record whatever.
