7 games left. How do we use them?

Do we try to get as many points as possible or shall we use them to try out new formations and tactics with a view to next year?
Personally I would try to try out new tactics to improve our attacking threat. We can't stand still and repeat tactics. People find you out and will find it easier to annul you. Standing still is going backwards.
I am amazed by our results this season - but there can be no let up - this league is relentless - Forest are an example - they are a good side with one world class player and a lot of excellent players - and still relatively in danger of relegation.

Both.

We aren’t a ‘Forest’. We have a core of players who are extremely experienced at European football. They spent 40M+ on Hutchinson from Ipswich, we’d spend that on 2 players who are better and ready.

We do need to improve our attacking threat. I hope now we can do that with no fear, play some players more to their strengths (wingers) and end up in Europe, while being tactically different.

Ha’way The Lads

‘TIL THE END
 
I just want to snap someone's hand off either way. Offering me some lowly positions like 17-th was only an excuse.

You still haven't given a single example of the sort of thing we should be experimenting with.

I think we need to retain and pass the ball better. We obviously need to be better at opening up teams and create more chances. How we do it is not my job; that's for RLB.
 
Thus reminds me of the ridiculous heated debate when Xhaka was on 4 yellow cards:
Should he "take one for the team" in a seemingly less important game so that the ensuing one match ban would not make him miss whatever more important game that was coming up.

Neither outcome ever materialised.

Just go and try to win every game FFS. It's not like last season in any way, shape or form.

Stay the course, do what we’re doing. Get as many points as possible. See what the summer brings.

A bit pointless when you don't know what players are leaving and who is coming in......
 
Seen as how we’ve achieved everything we set out to, not getting relegated, 49 as soon as possible and not getting beat off the Mags, I’d say go full throttle, aim for top half as a new minimum target and see what happens - we’ve little to lose
