Honestly there is so much to do with this squad - it’s pretty scary - some signings should be easy wins like back up full backs - young CB etc We then need to rebuild our attacking unit - that’s where we need to be clever in the market and get technical good players in

The left hand side was fine -2 completely different players - offer something different We all knew the requirement on the right was for a left footed player - why have 4 wingers who are all right footed? Put his assists aside because Murphy was getting you these aswell - it just made no sense

Doesn’t help when the senior voices amongst his team are the same who have been with him for years - it can stagnate if you don’t refresh your set up - but he will never change it - all the best managers do it

If we sign players in the summer - please god be the type who can pass a ball We are such a bad team in possession - struggle to make 5 yard passes

Murphy and Elanga are basically the same - that’s hurt us massively - a £52m player should have been one of a creative technical level and not one that is the same as you already have - there’s no variation is style Our whole right side of you include the 2 full backs has been woeful this season

If one of Schar and Burn are out 4th choice - I can live with that - if either is starting or first choice reserve, we will continue to concede soft goals - we are a poor team defensively - persisting with the same players who are causing these issues isn’t going to help - the problem will remain

The issue I have with Howe is I don’t know what team we are - post the break nothing he does makes sense - how does he even change this? We can’t defend We can’t attack We can’t pass We can’t shoot He doesn’t know his best XI Playing players out of position Harshly dropping players (Hall, Barnes, Ramsey) Its an absolute mess we are in and I really can’t see anything out of this - there’s been nothing post break to even give us some slight hope - it’s tedious football week in week out and that’s on him and his coaching team - how many years has Bruno been here and he still hasn’t had his shooting technique changed - it’s basic things like this

The issue is that we need 3 CBs to be really pushing each - are we going into next season with Thiaw-Batman-Burn as our competing CBs? That scares the living daylights out of me

Our defence is soft as anything - 100% need a starting CB with some mobility

We signed 5 players - each player is worth 2 points - For me Thiaw is a success so it’s a 2 out of 10 window - Ramsey had he not been dropped to needlessly accommodate Joelinton could have pushed it tp a 3 - but 2 is about right A truly shocking window - For us to be in May 2026 and only really count on 1 signing (Thiaw) is unacceptable - £250m flushed down the toilet

This my whole point with Howe - he’s cemented his legacy here - he has a ceiling and it’s showing - we’ve had 5 weeks back and literally been as bad as we were all season - nothing bar personnel is changing We are truly dreadful and he must take blame as the coach

It’s a huge shame - my anxiety levels are going through the roof as I don’t see how this changes - I don’t Howe has the ability to oversee this - the ceiling has been reached with him

I think what wrangles the most is that this is a copy and paste performance on the pitch and from the dugout

He is skating on very thin ice with me From my own prospective he should have been let go - when a team slides this badly - changing manager is probably the best thing I am not seeing anything to change my mind - and I want it to be so different for him

25 points dropped I just don’t know where to go - ultimately the buck stops with him

NOT GOOD ENOUGH Rubbish

We’ve wasted all injury time chasing shadows

That’s a shocking goal

Poor poor defending

Our most creative midfielder - Ramsey

Jacob Ramsey and Harvey.Barnes should NEVER be on the bench ffs

And yet he and the coaching team haven’t worked on this

For the fucking love of god we are absolute shite on the ball
