flat wrong on both counts. I'm not negative about the team or the management, far from it.

I love what we're trying to do, in terms of getting young players in and improving them. I always thought we'd struggle this year because of that, and probably get relegated, and I'm OK with that. It's still the right thing to do. I just haven't drunk the Emi Kool-Aid like a lot of people on here, I share Farke's view of him - he's not up to it mentally. In other words, he's got Oliviera Syndrome.

About the clearances, here's the stat:

        And for a full season (NCFC) - SCC 28, Feb 27, 16:28:20
        
        DoY is obviously talking about making chances as am I (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 27, 16:21:06
        
        and as for the "Kool-Aid" regarding Emi, the stats clearly show (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 27, 16:29:33
        
        if you watch him play (and train, seemingly) he isn't. It's very reminiscent of Oliviera, (NCFC) - Skeleton Bob, Feb 27, 16:41:02
        
        I do and have watched him play thanks. He clearly is special enough to be among (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 27, 16:44:01
        
        also 4th most dispossessed player per match, and 3rd most overall (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 27, 17:11:54
        
        Yeah but (NCFC) - Old Git, Feb 27, 17:16:27

        I think Farke's point is that it isn't (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 27, 18:27:18
        
        yep, obsessing over any particular stat is a bit silly (n/m) (NCFC) - Skeleton Bob, Feb 27, 19:36:32
        
        He did have a few uber crap games at the start of the season (NCFC) - duke of york, Feb 27, 17:14:51
        
        If Pukki and others were scoring some of the chances Emi was laying on there'd literally (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 27, 17:19:42
        
        Horribly true (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Feb 27, 17:27:01
        
        Why do you think Farke hasn't been selecting him.of late? (n/m) (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 27, 16:45:37
        
        I'd imagine it's because he's not 100% fit (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 27, 16:49:02
        
        I'm reading differently, particularly based on these quotes (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 27, 16:52:02
        
        I'm aware of those statements, but I think it's a poor time to be making a point (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Feb 27, 17:03:44
        
        Maybe Farke thinks our chances are better without him (NCFC) - Azteca, Feb 27, 17:08:48
        
        Depends what you need 'it' to be (NCFC) - CWC, Feb 27, 16:35:59
