I think there are in fact two questions: 1. Should Howe be sacked? I think pretty much 99% people here would say no fucking way 2. Will Howe be sacked? Now that’s the tricky part. Look at the fixtures. We could lose all games in January including the Sunderland cup game. The next realistic 3 points would be from Luton. My genuine prediction is IF we lose all games including that Luton league game, Howe will be sacked.

I think people in general underestimated the impact of “fatigue” on the effectiveness of Howe’s plan A tactics. We all had given huge praise to Howe, especially on his ability to bring out the best of our players. Players like Almiron is, genuinely speaking, just relegation team standards. The reason why he can play so well under Howe is because Howe makes a system that, if every players are willing to run and cover as a team, maintain a very high intensity of pressure, then we can beat teams with players much better than ours. What if the players are unable to keep their work rate and coverage on the pitch? The answer is out there already. Fucking obvious. Yesterdays Woods third goal - yes he did make a good run but, why would that pass happen in the first place? Look at the space we gave to their defenders. That’s the result of fatigue. We simply cannot run the tactics after 30 mins. Whether you want to blame Howe or Lady Luck or not it’s up to you. To me, if the system simply doesn’t work with a fatigued squad, then either change it or use fresh players. I would even give it a go to use reserves / youth players as long as they can run for 90 mins.

I expect the “how dare you guys question Howe” stuff will pop up tomorrow, not today
-
That’s why we shouldn’t go for every game with our shorthand squad. when the whole team is fatigued we are done. Like now
-
I think we will lose 0-2. Hope I am wrong

He has a lot of credit in his bank, and genuinely speaking injuries are something that he cannot control entirely. However I do think he could do better in squad rotation and keep the team in a better condition. I hope he learnt the lesson and, together with better resources available next season, be able to avoid the same mistake. Crashing out of the death group is fine. Making the squad at such a bad condition is not. Seriously I don’t think we can win any game with our current form, and it’s not because of his tactics, it’s because the whole squad are half dead. I would be genuinely disappointed if we crash out like that again NEXT season.

For who? karius?
-
Hall costed us 35m and if he still couldn’t start under such circumstances then it’s an obvious mistake. I have said this before and I still stand by this
-
This is just unreal. Impossible: our luck, Jesus
-
I ain’t surprised that he didn’t make any subs. He has done it before.
-
How’s his brother doing? May as well start them together now, given our shortage of players
-
Genuinely this is the worst we have had in the EPL era
-
Happy for the penalty. Also support the 300m claim by those 3 clubs. Reason? Lewis Gibson
-
We really need some Wilson magic tonight
-
If we want to qualify this is a must win game. however I genuinely think we don’t have enough squad depth for this one. We got too many players either injured or look fatigued
-
57days till we can loan in someone. At this rate Sanusi has to be considered very soon
-
I do think that’s a foul by Joelinton. Arsenal at most deserve a draw anyway. They did nth extra that deserves a win. extremely happy for 3 points. However BG needs to sort his on-pitch emotion out. He is really lucky today.
-
He finally looked gassed during the final minutes.
-
That’s why I said he should have played more. One of the best RB in EPL before injury.
-
I simply hope we can see more of Livra and Hall in the future.
-
Livramento is not a kid, he is PL proven, one of the best RB in EPL before his injury. Hall I would give you that, but Livra, no.
