My only worry with keeping Howe is it feels a little bit like when Brendan Rodgers finished 7th with Liverpool and then got sacked around 9 games into the season. It just feels like as soon as we have another bad spell the fans will be on his back and it will just end in him going and it'll be another waste of a season.

Fuck off never a foul.

Wasn't it because he booted miles Infront of him before the contact hence not denying a goal scoring opportunity.

I don't even view him as our player anymore.

Old good one from Under The Cosh, but a Patreon one so might not have been watched by everyone:

Listened to this earlier and felt the same in thinking he was talking sense.

I don't think he'll get sacked regardless personally.

Give him a new deal, he's never had pace anyway so might be able to play at a high level for a while yet.

Ah yeah Shearer missed a pen forgot about that one.

Did we ever lose a derby under SBR? I can't remember one.

I'm not sure England would suit Howe either, he seems to be good at coaching on the grass rather than in game.

I'm talking about coming above Sunderland, Fulham, Brentford, Everton etc. We've got Livramento/Hall - One is who will go to City for 60-70m and the other who is top class. Bruno G/Tonali - Two quality CMs Gordon - England's starting LW Who have those teams got seriously? Everton have N'Diaye that's about it.

Ill re-phrase it then, our performances in the league this season have been on the whole rubbish. That's nothing to do with ceilings, we've got enough quality in the squad to be performing far better and that's on Eddie unfortunately.

Yes and no. It definitely makes it very hard for us to be finishing top 5 every season. But we're 12th, which is no way near good enough so there's no excuses for that.

Problem is Howe has been asked this before (Regarding DM) and his answer is always that he doesn't feel there's an issue it's just about delivering the plan better.

Iraola is the only one that would tempt me, and even then I'm a bit like meh.

Jesus Christ

Do PIF give a shit about the derbies anyway? I'm not convinced they're that arsed.

I'm 100% sure we're going to win, which I hate been so confident

Trippier seriously.

My memory is him giving the ball away and getting it and dribbling it straight out of play That was prior to the first goal anyway, I think after the goal he grew in confidence and played decent.

Fair play on the goals, I still think he's technically really poor and not sure how we'll ever resolve that.

Same as Miley then, 6 months out.

Agreed. He seems to let a lot more things go than most CL refs.

Is commentary ahead of the play for anyone else?
