Should never, ever, ever start a PL game again. Same with Longstaff.

Not me..

Much bettet players at the pitch. First half was more like a championship team.

Murphy before Barnes

No, you cry. Not funny anymore.

Yes, thats why we need players. Stop looking for players we cant, there are so many players that would improve out shit ones. What are we doing??

Seems like he has lost his ways. Last season?

We badly need some new energy in the team. Doesnt look great. And not sure what Howe is doing anymore. Seems like the team is affraid of everything.

Maybe we should have sold joelinton. So so bad.

To many shit players at the pitch now.

As always.

class is permanent. can't be bad no matter how hard he tries.

Will take a looooong time to process!

Just get him! If we really think he will be massive here we just have to take the bite and the one driving this take the blame. we really need a top cb in pronto.

Agree that we problably slow because our best have had little pre season. But I think its clear were not gonna change our style. No europa is a bless in that. Though Howe need to be able to manage that if he want to be successfully here. And that need to inclued us beeing in controll more, i think.

Less press is ok, if we can keep the ball.

I been banging for this for years. But I have given up the thought of that happening. Its either the players or Howe, or both. But for us to take the next step I think we have to be able to controll games.

If we go to high at first palace will just up their price. Seems normal and the right way.

I also don't think Howe is suitable for the England job. I think his strengths are on the training pitch and his weaknesses are in match coaching, just the reverse should be preferred in a national job.

Not sure I was keeping up with the training camp game. Was he rested with "precaution" or what?

A good loan would be perfect for him this season.

Recently found this channel. Really good I think, gives a little more substance to everything.

He needs to be told his place (and maybe Howe too), and also give Isak the nr 9. Something for Bunce to look into.

Several good comments. I stand on the side that I think the direction the club has taken behind the scenes is exactly the right way forward. I think last season overall was kind of a "failure" and changes are necessary to be made. I think Howe is a great coach (with flaws of course) but think he sometimes seems to see himself bigger than he is. If he doesn't like to focus more on coaching, then it's better for all parties with a chance. I think it's a given that he should be allowed to have opinions about signings etc. (I don't like the arrangement that coaches only get what is served, ala Chelsea) but it should be more advisory than demanding. Also be guided when we need to sell. Now the club really need a heavy signing for everyone to feel better!
