The difference between him and, say, Gerrard or Rafa, is that he's a specialist in mediocrity v. being a serial winner. It's easy to say with hindsight, and I say this in a mindset if pure and utter frustration, but we should be seeing some upturn in results or a noticeable difference in performances at this stage. The fact that so many folk making comparisons with Bruce says it all about how much he's change on the pitch. He's employed to get results at the end of the day and he's not doing it.

We've also been absolutely fucking shite when we've played the better teams, so added to the inability to get results against direct rivals, we look nowhere near getting a surprise result that would get us points on the board.

Would guarantee he'd make a better fist of keeping us up than Howe.

And the comments re: 'a foculpoint for the team'. It just sounded primitive/the sort of shit a pfm would come out with.

Everyone accepts that Howe's got a tough job rolling back years of rot and tactical ineptitude, but the fact that he doesn't seem able to adapt his style to the players that are available to him will see us going down.

Absolutely fucking hate this cunt.

I would also argue that he stumbled on solutions rather than actively seeking them out. Joelinton in CM, dropping Clark, Etc

I found it worrying that he was Howe's 'first choice' tbh.

Players are not going to want to play for this shitshow, let's be honest. The games are running out.

A complete fucking idiot of a footballer these days

It's fair to say that the problems we had under Bruce are still clear to see. - There's no pressure or intensity. - Can't hold a lead convincingly. - Central midfield and defence are absolutely fucking awful He's not been able to get a tune from anyone, bar Joelinton, which has been a surprise.

Hasn't got it in him to get us out of this shit now.

Are we bottom of the league now?

Leeds will have a field day with this midfield.

He's thick as mince these days, like. Complete donkey.

On this showing, we're also desperate for a bit if quality on the wings too

Shelvey and Longstaff wouldn't cut it in League 1

Fucking Everton, man.

So much shit in the squad, like.

I hate Shelvey. Couldn't give a fuck, could he.

Please fucking win.

Need to keep Dennis quiet

He's genuinely got no other options for CM, sadly. Absolute dearth of quality

Please don't play Ritchie at LB, Eddie. For the love of God.

I didn't say anything was inaccurate, I said it was a depressing read
