Surely you’d take the risk of achieving 5th then, knowing that we have to keep those 1 or 2.

No. Bournemouth have been excellent nearly every time I’ve seen them.

Surely you’re not serious given the aim has to be 5th, and 6th does nothing for us in terms of retaining players?

You say that but we always seem to look worse when he’s subbed on. His strength as a footballer was never his defensive abilities anyway.

They’re both utter shit, managed by men completely out of their depth and on less than 30 points in mid-February. We have every right to expect to be above them with that in mind.

He got it a bit wrong today - it happens. But the contrast between what Pep and him have been able to do in recent windows is staggering, unfair and was always likely to manifest itself today. Man for man, they looked better all over the park. Better touches, more dynamic, better decision making. There’s only so much Eddie can get out of the likes of Murphy, Gordon, Willock etc. These aren’t intelligent, supremely talented footballers as much as they’re top athletes who’ve been very well coached and catered for, for 2/3 years. My only real gripe is Trippier playing. He’s blatantly finished as a top level player.

They’re in a completely false position and we should beat them, as we did in autumn.

Carbon copy of our last 4 league performances, in truth. Just against far better opposition.

Just not enough cover in that scenario. We really could do with someone who can play as a CF and another position, ideally on the right and is proven to be at least strong PL standard doing both. Easier said than done. Mbeumo is the obvious one but he’d cost an absolute bomb.

Zero animosity, but stop trolling and use the ignore (I’m actually not even sure if it’s a thing) if it winds you up this much.

I’ve no interest in engaging with this guy. He genuinely needs help.

Pardew. I hated him as much as anyone on here you absolute parody.

So personal and needless. You quote me literally more than anyone else on here. You really need to find better ways to spend your time.

That’s a massive stretch, at best. Come on. And they absolutely did.

I didn’t say that, and I never said I wanted him sacked either, like some who liked the post.

Who was it that said a couple of months back that Longstaff was just as good as him? Heron maybe??

Which one??

3 games is far less now?

Late on? He was injured most of the season.

He said we were in a fantastic position but he’s worried. Nowt wrong with that.

Strange response to some very legitimate points.

Howe must have said half a dozen times since last spring that Lascelles was a lot further away than Botman.

Lloyd Kelly: Lied to about Amanda being in it for the long haul, what being Dummett’s replacement would entail, and finally forced to join Juventus with a pay increase. It’s like an ITV drama.

Blowing my mind here, brother. I very nearly owned a house on Chretien Road a couple of years back which I assume once backed onto it before the sellers pulled out and we had to go with our second choice a few hundred yards away. Oh and if it was you, I no longer think you’re a twat.

No Europa league at an absolute minimum and they’re all going, let’s be honest.
