    Goal Difference

    I was just looking at goal difference and i know it's points that matter but we have the best goal difference of all the clubs in the minus figures.

    Really does show our defence has tightened up.

    9 Everton -13
    10 Bournemouth -12
    11 Watford -16
    12 Newcastle -9
    13 Brighton -14
    14 West Ham -18
    15 Swansea -19
    16 Huddersfield -28
    17 Crystal Palace -19
    18 Southampton -18
    19 Stoke -29
    20 West Brom -26

    Yes it looks good. We've been rebuilt from the back, if only we could increase the goals for talley we would be looking at the top 6 or 8 position.

    Hence why Rafa wanted that striker in the summer, then at beginning of Jan.

    Hopefully we keep Rafa and get that striker early in transfer window.

    Agreed and on a day like today I don't think the tactics were even negative as such; one always had the feeling that we were trying to create an attacking play when we had the ball. And we had it a lot more than they did. Credit to Rafa and the team.

    I was screaming at the tv after aboot 25 mins,for Rafa to take the donkey that is Perez off.
    What do I know eh?
    Well I know he;s shoite and if we do stay up and progress I hope wev'e seen the last of him.
    A team is just as good as it's weakest link,well I'm afraid Ayoze it's you.After 70 mins he must have been solely responsible for 80% of our attacking breakdowns after some great approach play.Rant ower then.
    Just saw this though,Perez told Mathew Raisbeck that at HT Raffa said don't come deep,and try not to touch the ball so much (great diplomacy/man management) if you touch it once then score,that will be enough..
    Ahhh that's why we love you Raffa...

    I appreciated Perez's performance today. I think people have an idea of what kind of a player he is and he usually isn't that​. He can do other things though.
