I've been waiting to post this but I think it's now pretty clear so here goes. I found it astonishing to see so many people bagging Farah around the start of the season and I sincerely hope those who did so are tucking into a healthy serving of humble pie right now.
The absolute worst that could have been said about Farah was that he tried to do too much. He now seems pretty comfortable with his halves and has settled in to playing a strong role as a number nine. Then when conditions dictate, such as yesterday, he shows he can still be a playmaking weapon. Both sides' halves were quiet in attack yesterday - no surprise given the heavy rain - and it's pretty clear that Farah was a fulcrum that the oppo lacked. A real standout performance from a club legend and genuine marquee player.
