Kanj

Article i read on him on the athletic last season was that he was a pressing machine. Elite at that.

He’s got 12 in 22 this season.

How the hell aren’t our guys on that list?

At this point I’ll take almost any player to replace 8-9 of our outfield players.

Guy is built like a brick shithouse by the way.

The finances are going to change his life too ha!

Good post mate. Solid perspective and calming to read. What keeps me pretty chill about this is deep down we’re not in this position under MA with no spending or change in dugout. This time we have owners who appear to be here for a long time and want to eventually have us challenging for everything.

Eh, Kenyon has been hanging around the hoop for ages it seems.

That’s a sound way to own a business after a few months.

And the point is that this is still a limited operation. With no Charnley, no CEO and no sporting director, Staveley and Ghodoussi have taken on a crushing degree of responsibility. Aided by Reuben, who is being guided by Howe, chief scout Steve Nickson and Nick Hammond, acting in a temporary advisory capacity, they are doing deals themselves, as well as pretty much everything else. ^^ Hammond mentioned again. So what gives with Hardy?

Wonder if his mind changes if Botman shows up

Would literally take 3 new defenders. 2 new midfielders. 2 attackers. And a goalie and replace them accordingly in the lineup. Nobody is safe at this point bar Trip, Jow and Maxi

People turned up noses at a Ramsey or Delli Ali but even just one of those and we’d have max points yesterday.

Despite the individual mistakes we should have taken 3 pts from Norwich, Brentford, and Watford. We should have saw off Man United too. 8 pts man. 20 pts total and we’d be 15th place. We’d be confident in staying up. Whether that’s down to Howe or the players or both, the man who manages the team has to shoulder the responsibility.

Idk man, I’m sat here at home watching the NFL playoffs and I’m sick to bits thinking that I actually think we need to sack Howe before he takes us down. I don’t think he’s going to do it. Maybe I’ll change my mind tomorrow or end of window when we sign new center backs and midfielders. And for the record I absolutely love the man, think he’s class and his underdog story and his mentality and human level is just first class.

If we hired Gerrard would we have had Coutinho and Digne?

I’m just thankful it’s them owning us right now and not MA. I was thinking of what they could have done differently earlier today but there’s absolutely no sense in doing that. I wonder how long they give Howe, I’m sure the entire ownership is frustrated as all of us. The PCP management contract is hinging on us staying up imo.

Come back, Rafa.

Is he going to turn it around? Even with a hundred million spent in the window? I’m desperate for him to succeed because I really like him but I’m struggling here.

I really want him to do well but I’m truly questioning him.

I truly Question Howe now.

I’m genuinely confused with 2 keepers on bench. Surely an academy lad lol

Dummett fit. thank god.

Would love for an easy breezy match. Red card for watford after an easy goal for us and they just lay down and don’t turn up.

None of this makes any sense re: Hammond. He’s been literally mentioned by the journalists for nearly 20 days now and he’s apparently not there anymore and nobody has picked this up until now?
