This.
Dubravka had only made two mistakes in his year here. Today and Man Utd a few weeks ago. Other than that he's been brilliant and won us far more points than he's cost us.
Definitely the best keeper we've had since Shay Given.
This.
That’s what we have been saying all season. Surely you can judge a winnable game as we are playing it .TJR wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 3:00 pmThis makes no sense. Spurs away was never down as a winnable game. Realistically we were never going to get anything from Man City and Spurs yet we've got 3 points so we should be more than happy with that return.Toondes wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 2:27 pmProblem is we are running out of games now. All season we’ve had excuses that we have winnable games coming up and we’ve proved that we struggle to win any game. I feel really pissed off today as the times we did attack spurs we looked dangerous but we just didn’t do it enough. I dont think they played particularly well either.
The winnable games are in a few weeks time when we play Huddersfield and Burnley at home in the same week. Less than 4 points from them and we can complain.
Certainly nothing to complain about this week.
Exactly we're ahead of what we all would have realistically expected.TJR wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 3:00 pmThis makes no sense. Spurs away was never down as a winnable game.

Huddersfield losing? They aren't catching anyone. Their result means nothing to us, they're done.Bodacious Benny wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 3:28 pmFulham and Huddersfield losing, Cardiff losing tonight would make it not a bad weekend at all.
Yeah I think we can safely say (bar a miracle) that Huddersfield are down.Luque wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:23 pmHuddersfield losing? They aren't catching anyone.

And be quite content with the loss knowing that we have more “winnable” games coming up.
We have a really good record against teams below us... I know you hate Rafa but come on
Yeah I said that weeks ago, but they’re still below us and lost so worth mentioning.Luque wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 4:23 pmHuddersfield losing? They aren't catching anyone.

This is literally the reason we have signed Almiron
Well said Colly.Colly wrote: ↑Sun Feb 03, 2019 10:30 amGenuinely amazed by some comments in this thread. I'm one of the most outspoken critics of Rafa's alleged tactics, but I saw absolutely nothing wrong with them in the last two games (well, apart from playing Atsu ahead of the soiled rag, but still). We're running out of games? Most of us had us in 18th after these two, we're out of the relegation zone after two of the trickiest games of the season. Spurs might have been without Kane, but that defense is solid and we tested them, and were it not for a post and an uncharacteristic keeping error we might have got something, possibly even all 3.
Couple of easier games coming up with a record signing to make a debut, our best centre halfs are all fit and on form (remember the impact Lejeune made on the second half of last season), and fingers crossed Ki will be back soonish too. No worries here.
If we sit against Huddersfield at home though I'm getting the pitchfork and torch out...
