I was expecting Ramsay to play in that CAM role. But we didn’t. We back to that fucking 433. Tonali at the base and Bruno up. The rest is history.

we didn’t play much better in the second half. I explained it in the Howe thread. We were back to plan A after the sub, we pushed further upfront, we just looked better, without noticing that the defence side started to cripple again. We scored another transitional goal - great - and then concede. The 4231 with Nick playing as CAM and Tonali Bruno double pivot were a better balanced and solid set up. I sticked to my point. We should have continue with that 4231 instead

I think you can praise Howe for trying something different today and in fact I like the first half more than the second. Considering it’s an away game we did look in control. Defence looked solid, Forest didn’t have much chance. Wolte was shaky at times but I did think he linked well with Osula. That’s what we wanted to see for long. For the second half, we went back to that plan A with Bruno playing further upfront. Yes I knew we scored. We looked even more aggressive. But as the result showed - we conceded again and after that it’s just praying for one point. I think it’s fair to say the Plan A, the 433, has some systematic defending issues that it really no longer worked. Yes we scored in transition. But then we conceded again. 27 points lost from leading position. I knew some of you won’t agree but I wished we didn’t give up the 4231. Even if we couldn’t score it would still be a 0-0 with a solid display. Instead we are now back to the Plan A mare again. Score first, concede, pray for final whistle

That’s a fucking great first touch

he better just continue to be our impact sub

Not looking good for Hall…

Finally!

Osula can strike the ball with both legs. I thought you guys know this.

So we back to plan A then

Very poor that Sven

What a pass

That’s intentional

he can just smash it with his left

yea sounds easy. Easy. What about the fucking shit ones from Murphy in the early stage, one forcing Osula to stop and another one fucking far away from Joe? I mean, you guys sounds like all these are easy stuff. Why didn’t we see them happened the nearly 3/4 months?

Jesus fucking Christ. Thats a mare? Tell me who else would have made those cutting pass to Osula? Did you guys really know what a 10 really plays like? If Wolte can pull all those move off despite so little space given in EPL he would be playing for Real Madrid already. Dont complain if we play like shit after taking Wolte off in second half

Nice cover by Woltemade

We looks much better today. Much much better.

Howe won’t do it.

I don’t like that quote from Howe to be honest. At that time I already said it won’t be well received by the players.

We always have scouts that doing their work worldwide. It’s just up to the DOF / Howe to decide which candidates to go for

Of course he is a good player or else why would you guys saying 80m is a minimum…the other team ain’t idiots

no I just mean no matter who is in that position, finishing top 6 or above is a minimum requirement even if we just have a top 7-8 squad. The bar is the same for everyone because we ain’t and shouldn’t settle for an average manager.

I don’t get it. I mean you are right that we have a top 7-8 squad and we should finish around there, assuming that every coach’s quality of work are the same. But if that’s the case then why continue to hire Eddie? We should have a better than average manager / coach and hence we should be aiming for Euro / top 6 finish every season. If we failed to do it, it just mean Eddie / the manager / the coach we hired ain’t good enough.

Just around 24 months left till becoming a free agent

Is the correct answer.
