Fucking hell. Late entry for worst post of the year.

You know I’m starting to think that a lot of this season’s weird form is fitness related. The weird team selections, not being able to string together a consistent run of performances. Mainly though it’s that we tend to get worse as the game goes on. At our peak under EH the team has excelled in the last 30 mins as other teams have tired and we’ve stayed at peak performance. I wonder what is going on behind the scenes and whether the training activity has changed.

Well the good news, I suppose, is this all but kills the chances of us paying over the odds for him.

Well. As the commentator said when we played Liverpool, TBF it was a bit windy. -

Sounds about right. A shit, southern club is all I recall. Called off about 30 mins before KO -

I was *actually* outside SJP about 20 years ago when they called a game off for snow. Think it was Reading or someone equally shite. Livid. -
How do you define ‘ending badly?’

Just a thought. Maybe it took a while to get him in at CM while Bruno learned how to effectively play RCM in Eddie’s system? May not have been a Sandro issue at all.

I’ve seen a few people say this. What’s their incentive to attack? If they’ve been watching they’ll know that all they need to do is let us have the ball and they’ll pick us off on the counter at ease. -
Big assumption, this. You might not agree with the conclusion but I think we can give Howe and the considerable back room staff the benefit of the doubt in the data they’re using. Tonali needs to be in the team, though, agreed. IMO Howe needs to pick Joelinton or Longstaff, we don’t need both, particularly at home against weaker opposition.

It’s not a free pass. He’s paid for his pass. Paid good money, as it happens.

We could have been 2-1 up at HT with a bit of luck and some better finishing. Thought we did enough to at least be level but it just wouldn’t drop for us. First 5 mins of the second half were promising. Both goals were piss poor on our part, just lack of fundamentals, really disappointing. The less said about the final half an hour, the better, it was desperate. Absolutely no idea what the plan was, and I don’t think the players knew either.

To avoid going around in circles I’ll just say thanks for the response. Totally understand where those who are cautious about a move are coming from. Ultimately I think most of this comes down to your final question. Is it worth losing SJP for? IMO, SJP is in a fantastic location, and that’s all I’d be concerned about losing. Providing any new build is city centre, IMO, any loss would be negligible.
