Home wins against bottom half. So far we are 2/2 on that score (right? Am I forgetting something?)

But dropping Farke now is really, really dumb. And there is a brutal run of fixtures between now and mid-January. I wouldn't be surprised to see them on 17-18 pts after 20 games. But if Farke gets the sack after losing to Citeh and Liverpool that seems quite silly to me...

its funny b/c i listen to the square ball, and they say "10 wins thats the goal" but if we lose two games its "Farke out, we need a change"
I get it, its really frustrating to watch them play poorly (and they did) but its gonna happen (also, I thought Nmecha's finish was great, Bijol needs to sit)

Maybe sneak one win against top half overall (probably at home). 3 or 4 draws against top half at home, 3-4 draws against bottom half at theirs. That's the target and that probably gets us 17th place. A couple wins on top of that and your in 14th. Its a tough division...

they are having a poor run of form. but they aren't outside of expectations (if anything a bit above them). I'm not really looking at the table, i'm looking at expected wins from each match. My baseline for survival - win 7/9 against bottom half at home, win 3/9 against bottom half away.

They are on track for about 10 wins right now. 10 wins 10 draws 18 losses is survival. Very doable with this squad and this manager. Most of the summer signings have been fine, all have room to improve. Shore up the back and this team cruises to 40 pts #lufc

I resemble that remark...

so you're saying bet it all on a win against Forest?

this is totally insane.

I guess Colston Loveland was a good draft pick...

omg omg omg etc

i don't think i'd be placing any bets on that happening here...

That said, I don't understand the "Farke out" crowd. The players were outclassed at every position. At some level you have to hold the actual players responsible for their performance. I don't think it was a bad plan, just poor play from #LUFC and a gulf in class at pretty much every position.
