In advance of games I like to look at the opposing teams’ fans forums just to get a lowdown on how they view playing us. I know we have Blackburn to come next but I was looking at Sky Blues talk and saw this post discussing their lineup against us:
‘I'm not worried about the team we put out against them. They're not quick at the back and are slow going forward. Perfect opponents for the way we play.’
Another post says:
‘On the balance of things, they have better players but feel our team and team dynamic is much stronger. Lampard may even be a better tactician than McKenna too which I did not expect to say this season.’
I can’t disagree with either of those. |  |

So, what I'm hearing here is that they're underestimating us and are a little over confident in the the abilities of The Famous One.
Excellent. |
They're 16 points ahead of us so fat Frank must be doing something right. That said I think we'll share the points over the home and away games. Home win for us, home win for them. |  | | |

I have always thought he is a better manager than most people give (or gave) him credit for).
He got CL football with a Chelsea team that had just lost Eden Hazard and were under a transfer embargo. He blooded a bunch of youngsters like Abraham, Mount, Guehi, Tomori, Lamptey (I can't remember if it was him that brought Reece James in). I wouldn't say that squad was in good shape when he took over and he couldn't buy anyone to fix the problems.
He kept a poor Everton squad up - experienced managers around that time (like Dyche) didn't achieve any more with that squad.
He took Derby to the Play off final didn't he? Lost to a superior Villa team from what I remember - ironically with Abraham upfront. Surely that's all that could be expected of him. |
I'd agree on that, when were linked with him last time around, my view was we could do far worse |  |

Akpom may well be quick but we have rarely got into positions to slip him in, I'm not convinced Walle Egeli is rapid but he is willing to take players on down outside which not all of our players seem willing to do so
McAteer maybe quick but he is one of the guiltiest of not using it down the outside |
Philogene had been cutting in every time (and scoring quite a lot of the time when he did), but I wondered whether they'd worked on him going around the outside in the international break as he seemed to do that a lot more against Wrexham. |  | | |
