10 goals in 18 games this season ? Considering we haven't been great most games that's unreal

Absolute monster of a player, reads the game well, cuts everything out, keeps it simple when needs to. Player we needed in that centre.

Thing is we need money to try and build squad in other ways, don't see how we do that without Bruno or Isak going. If City offer over 60 million I can see him gone.

Howe needs to change how we play, formation or something. It's terrible to watch and every other team just look quicker and have more space. Movement is pretty terrible and we just keep given the ball away. If he gets a chance in Jan he needs to bin some of them, maybe even sell one of the bigger players and get some more technical nous in there as we can barely kick a ball.

Lost any control we had at end of that first half. It's fucking rank and don't seem to have a clue how to get back in it

What the fuck is wrong with us. Just give teams chances when in control. Fucking terrible

Dibling looks a player like, dynamic and good with the ball

Great win, dominated possession and then played them at their own game to win. That's how we need to be playing away every time. Didn't fully put pressure and had the bodies in midfield, must have learnt a bit

The ref was staring at those fouls as well, how the fuck has he not sent him off for that 2nd challenge

Yeah fair play, had started to question him as performances were awful but got the last 2 games spot on. Hope we can build on this as 2 massive performances.

Hall has mostly been excellent all season, he looks a top player for future, so much about him

Longstaff, Livramento and Hall were especially excellent today

We can't high press that effectively with current back 4 either, Schar isn't looking great, Dan burn has the pace of a snail so if they push up to squeeze midfield they can't get back, look at how Jackson just turned them. I think having 2 midfielders alternating sitting deeper and a front 4 (1 up front, 3 behind) and getting them to press would be more effective. Pressing slightly deeper but less gaps for them to break through. Normally with Howe we have a bad run then all of a sudden become unbeatable for a run of games so hoping that happens but hard to see it right now. That right wing needs sorted as well to hurt teams as we look really shit going forward there. Another thing would be sitting deeper and using Barnes, Isak, Joelinton runs to counter diagnolly as well know they have that in them but needs a Schar or Bruno pass to unlock

The only other team to play 433 this weekend was spurs. Other teams mostly seem to play a 4231 now with a few 442 (Arsenal/Brighton) and 352 for palace, Man city play 4141 but have the players to do that. Generally think we need to go 442 or 4231 to try and gain more control and link up midfield to attack, as a stop gap put Joelinton, Gordon or Tonali in that attacking mid role, get 2 players to sit deeper and at least try something different. Would give Hall/Livramento more room to attack as well.

We need a mixed approach, have to scout further and bring in potential while still investing in ready players in some key areas. I just think there's better value for what we have to spend outside of premier league.

The whole setup just looks wrong. Need to always keep one midfielder deeper and probably just have 2 in there with Tonali and Bruno pivot. Need shorter passing ranges as well as gaps are too big between midfield and attack. We shouldn't be this shit with those players but maybe do need to sell a big player and fund a few improvements across the team. Even just bringing in a right winger won't massively improve us as we aren't functioning well in other areas, there's something up with our whole system.

We could if we recruit in better ways. Our technical ability is awful. Fuck spending 70 million on a centre half, sort out midfield and wings, need a creative type in that midfield and probably move to 2 in middle holiding and 1 in front, we get cut open too much to play that 433

We never seem to have the space other teams do and convinced it's because we are slow as shit with the ball and our movement is shit

I think he will go after Arsenal game, looks clueless how to change it and can't see us beating Chelsea or Arsenal at home. We are barely putting up a fight and not hurting teams at all. Just incredible levels of shit

Think he may need to go, doesn't seem to know how to sort this

None of them seem to have a clue in midfield or up front, disjointed, mistakes all the time, no quality just shocking to watch

What the fuck man, just no fucking sense in this team, constant fuck ups

Just far too easy for them to walk through us, one man goes to ball and they are straight through. Low block and break surely better for us

So slow to every fucking ball and no idea when we have it, fucking rank on every level right now

Fucking pathetic again
