Theregulars

Yes but don’t say it too loud

The lack of urgency when there’s so much to play for is the most disappointing and unjustifiable part of this. So unimaginative. 10 days to prepare against that squad?

Still waiting for that hot dose of intensity, which - as I understand it - is so commonplace to our play that it’s mistaken for who we are.

Outplayed, outthought, outrun, outperformed.

Howe’s being absolutely schooled by Glasner here. Looks very much the junior.

“Intensity is our identity”

Look so apologetic for being there

Why do we always play so poorly in Croydon? It’s so weird. They’re such a persistently mediocre side but year-in, year-out we gift them points. Bizarre.

FFS they’re all available without the sponsor! Literally bought the home and third for 20 quid each feeling right smarmy.

How would you identify them from this information?

Loose connections but through someone who works with him and whose kids are at same school.

Saudi-bound in the summer.

Right? So fucking unimaginative to just retread the maroon and blue again. At least do it in stripes or something. A white kit with green as the main alternate colour on it seems weird given that almost the same thing happened last season.

The most incredibly esoteric silver lining

Well played. Justifying his presence in the team. Actually bringing some things we’ve lacked without Joelinton.

Got to play Murphy so he can repeat the screamer and whale yawn celebration

Probably a van full of casino chips and playing cards with sachets of dolmio

Maybe the van had a crashing addiction? Adrenaline junkie trying to revive the highs of travelling across free borders. wont somebody please think of the van

I care about the van

Pisser that it’s another 12:30. Need the crowd for this one with half the squad dead so more liquid accumulation time would have done us a lot of good.

People have moved onto Longstaff as misery flavour of the month.

Yup, that’s Howe shown.

Is it not Almiron?

No, you fucking dullard. I am saying that he is instructing us to press less because he’s having to adapt tactically to the personnel available and the levels of fatigue / physical possibility. It’s grating enough to read your incorrect analysis spouted like a hot take of concrete factual certainty, but you then take it to another level telling people what their points are when you’ve misunderstood in the first place. Genuinely: you don’t have the brain or knowledge for this.

Ah fair enough. Maybe wouldn’t work vs West Ham who weren’t attacking; they invited us to take the initiative and tried to hit us on the counter (doing so effectively a few times). If anything this discussion is further evidence of Howe’s tactical flexibility within a system.
