    I would put money on Farke lasting longer than Ranieri

    That's because Brentford and Watford have long incorporated a better balance in their play. It's ridiculous that we should be trying to achieve that at this stage, with half the team comprising new players, however much "better" they are. And since you don't seem to have noticed, it isn't "my" advice; it's the message that has been constantly relayed by outside observers since early in the 2019--2020 season. DF has had plenty of time to address the issue, but simply doesn't seem to have an answer.

    How very Michael Bailey. No doubt 'The Athletic' will now be coming out with a new statistical measure of the 'gutsiness' of every player on the pitch. Known as the Gx index this will be determined by a panel of journos based on, you guessed it, their 'gut feelings' as they swill their cocktails after the match. Ooh, I can't wait.

    Dearie me Mike. Do you really think my "narrative" depends on selectively quoting Michael Bailey? Events speak louder than words, mine, yours or Michael Bailey's.

    Selective quoting is what you have been doing for the last 3 or 4 years, interspersed with selective use of stats. . As Norwich's fortunes have fluctuated during this period, the aforementioned has remained constant . The narrative has always been the same =Farke is useless. Well, who knows, after the Leeds game , your wish may be granted.

    Weird that during our long run of good results last season RobbieBB was otherwise engaged, we get humped by the EUROPEAN champions & he's all over the threads.

    Mike, if you genuinely think my opinion of Daniel Farke is summed up by "Farke is useless" and that I want him sacked, all I can say is you clearly don't read my posts.
