Beatings

[Jezzman]

Have a look at the stats below. The stats show how many games we've played with Rafa at the wheel where we've scored more than 3 goals. We actually only scored more than 3 goals in two matches the first season Rafa was here and this number of games have been dramatically improved over the last seasons and this year, we've actually already scored more than 3 goals in 8 matches. Quite impressive

2004/05 (2 matches)

Fulham-LFC 2-4

WBA-LFC 0-5

 

2005/06 (3 matches)

Luton-LFC 3-5

LFC-Fulham 5-1

Birmingham-LFC 0-7

 

2006/07 (5 matches)

LFC-Reading 4-3

Wigan-LFC 0-4

LFC-Fulham 4-0

you have to say we've improved our ability to 'kill of the opposition'.

[Igors Uncle Dave]

Agreed, this is good to see.

[Jezzman]

I was actually considering to count the Besiktas game twice, as 2x4-0

Apart from last night.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

Apart from last night.

 

keeping clean sheets is the way to go no matter what. Hasn't been too good lately.

[Coyler]

We're second in the goal-difference table.

[Hassony]

We're second in the goal-difference table.

 

but I thought we are not attacking enough like chelsea and arsenal to challenge for the title

 

and we only beat derby 2-1!

If we took six points off every other team in the league every year with aggregate wins of 8-1 we'd do quite well.

[Jezzman]

So 9 now...

just a pity we arent improving under the rafa

[Falconhoof]

A 5 nil win over Luton Town, on the back of 4 draws in the league isn't evidence of improvement.

[Gunga Din]

yes, that convincing 5-0 win against a team two divisions below us without a recognised centre half and a half fit goalie should mean its back on.

that's right ignore the other 8 matches...

[Guest RedLegend]

In fairness hammering poor teams doesn't mean all that much.

 

Only stats that really matter is the stats of the league table.

Of course, winning cups doesn't really matter at all

[Guest RedLegend]

I was going to mention cups but thought that it was pretty obvious that winning them would be a good thing rather than a bad thing so no further explaination was needed.

Still we manage to score a hell of a lot of goals being this "defensive minded team" as some calls us. On top of the the games where score s***load of goals just have to be more entertaining than winning with a one goal to nil score all the time.... and what teams do you categorize as poor teams apart from Luton and Derby... the rest are decent teams who were kicked backwards out of the field by a magnificent red force know as LFC....

We should've thumped Newcastle about 10-0 too..
