If it makes you feel better I took Stones out for Coufal this week.

His first 6 months in English football he was up front, on his own, and we'd send the ball up to him as if he was a Chris Wood type. Think it's fair to say that absolutely shot his confidence and gave him his worst chance of succeeding. Terrible management.

Confirmo gol!

So fucking sloppy. Just keep it and play it simple for 5 mins.

Players don't look like they suit the formation at all. Can't get anything going.

Hospital is literally right next door, guy is lucky it happened there tbh.

433, low block, counter attack. Prioritise pace and technique. Couple of savages in CM alongside a David Silva artist type.

I'm sure I saw Shelvey sprinting back like his life depended on it in added time. Definitive proof Howe is on to something.

We really leaving two up when down to 10 men?

Someone give this kid a gobstopper ffs.

Personally I'm up for a season of attacking football in the championship if need be. Bring it on.

Been playing that in my draft basically all season, working pretty well. Helps I've got James and Chilwell tbf.

Live score updated to 4-2 Brentford ffs.

Woke up nervous for this. Genuinely can't remember the last time that's happened.

Think it's a big blow tbh. The positive impact of him being in the stadium, a fresh start with a new manager will be dampened. I hope it doesn't affect the players.

Want my fiver back. @brummie

He posted a few positive bits about the takeover didn't he? Did he really think Bruce was going to stay after that? His form dropping off is a worry, I'd be surprised if it's anything to do with Bruce though.

Personally would like to avoid the absolute inevitability of a Bruce side stinking up a victory against us. We've seen the luck he gets with results for ourselves.

The Wilson chance is gutting, could be a massive moment in our season if that goes in.

Watched the last 15. We looked very poor, absolutely shit scared.

Steady Eddie. Let's go King.

Chance that Howe actually gets more out of our squad immediately than an Emery type who is very system focused? We need a boost and points right now. Someone more familiar might be better.

Left my first comment on an Athletic article under that earlier. Tone deaf bollocks.

My draft team's midfield went crazy this week. Salah (24), Foden (18), Cornet (15), Smith-Rowe (13). 70 points.
