Menace

We need 2 midfielders. Shelvey for the rest of the second half of the season doesn't fill me with confidence. Willock has been absolutely pony. Longstaff/Hendrick aren't good enough.

The crazy thing is there is plenty of good options with an expiring contract - so we really don't have to spend £100M to see an instant improvement. Plenty of clubs will want to cash in on players who will go for free in the summer - plenty are good enough for us.

The original story came from a shitty paper in Italy and has been recycled constantly. There's nothing to it.

Best we've played all season.

Another thumping. 0-3.

Every game gets streamed now days

Trippier would be one of our best players. We don't have to penny pinch anymore, if we even get 2-3 years out of him and it enables us to move to the next level, then it's a job well done.

Christ I forgot he played for us you know

It's incredible how much has gone against us, and even with 1 win and it being December, it's not completely out of sight yet. The bottom 4 in the prem is absolutely horrific this year mind

My sentiments exactly. It's incredible that Rafa made him look decent. Legit looks like he's won a Soccer AM tournament.

He's frustrating when things are going against us. He's still the most exciting player we have, but I don't think he'll stick around if we go down. In a team like Dortmund he would cause havoc.

Wouldn't look out of place in a reality program on ITV2 at 9pm, but he's a very decent football player.

I'm genuinely confused how a person is telling guys on a football forum not to criticise a manager?

I'm a downer for not being overjoyed by the prospect of Eddie Howe? Alright then...

Get fucked you tosser

Chelsea really have Gallagher and Gilmour coming up in their ranks, must be nice.

Alright then fella. Me saying Bruce beating them was more of a "they're not invincible" but definitely do twist my words no problem

Right I forgot, criticism of the current manager = Ashley fan If that was Bruce in charge of the dug out today what would've you of said out of curiousity?

Who's saying that?

Somehow I doubt that, a better manager at least puts in respectable performances. Let a lone a whooping from a second class Leicester team (that Bruce beat last year btw) Not saying these lot aren't shit. They are, but Howe has barely done anything out of the ordinary since coming in, at least the players are training more though, right?

I wasn't sold on the idea of him getting the job, still ain't. 5 games in, I think the only player that has looked better under him is Joelinton. Defensively I could argue we look even worse than before. We're not staying up with this guy at the helm.

This is up there with some of the worst shite dished up this season.

Proper Bruce-esque this. Their cb pairing is dog shit and we've barely even attacked.

I wonder if Man U fans feel the same about Rio/G Nev etc after the constant bumming for Ole.

Willock has been Kennedy'd
