I agree about the crowd. Now is when we are needed. I feel we are about to embark on an adventure for the first time in 3 or 4 years.

...Let's play our part too. Everyone responds to a positive crowd. Often counterintuitive but singing our hearts out is going to make a difference.

Very interesting stat on The Athletic. We are currently bottom of the PL table for tackles won, with just 121. Says a lot really about our current plight...

However, in a strange turn, we lead the PL on interceptions... Go figure... Are we just a bunch of softies that only make the effort when it doesn't mean getting stuck in?!?!?

I consider that a measure of football intelligence, was a stat I'd often throw at the sideways Surman brigade. No he doesn't do blood and thunder challenges full of "pashun", because he's already taken the ball off you by closing your options and forcing yo to pass to a space he can collect it from

Good to read the OP. I don't get to watch the team often to comment on the formation debates on here but I am convinced EH is still the man for the job. He will be hugely frustrated by recent results and from all you hear about him he will be doing everything in his power to turn things around.
