Not as much bickering as I forecast lol! I said after the euphoria last week that in another 3 games we might all be down in the dumps again. Fulham was 1st, we got Man Utd at home next and Palace away after that. I did mention the consistancy word and also the phrase clean sheets! Far more important than a new center forward! that's the fuse lit and I will now retire!

Overreaction is the curse of the modern game. It has reached a point where I no longer bother with Sports press and most of the fan reaction sites. Prefer the opinion of the friends I go the game with.

Bad day at the office or have the wheels come off. It's differs supporter to supporter. Some are sat there waiting in the shadows for a loss so they can reinvigorate the Silva out campaign. Some will take it in isolation and see how we bounce back.
I like to look at results in blocks of 8 and gauge the team accordingly.
There is too much up and down reactions from fans. One minute we are top 4, the next minute we are bottom 3 material.

Agree with both of you. My point has been all season that there are loads talking about new center forwards. and I have said consistantly all season that scoring goals is not our problem. Keeping clean sheets and defending is the problem. All season we have been looking great one minute and then losing goals like water through a sieve the next. When you give away 2 goals, you won't win many games. Its a simple rule and the best center forward in the world won't change that. A mentally stronger midfielder or a better center back might though!

Basics first Degsyp, agree with you entirely. A will to win also helps, as does staying on your feet unless forced not to. The lad Richarlison, spends to much time on his back or stomach. Next is build from the back (not necessarily this modern pass out from the back) .

Evolve or become extinct BCT. that's the way the game is going. EFC have been at the forefront of many new ideas over its history, let's not get left behind with this one.
