We're absolutely desperate for strong, mobile, central midfielders that can pass a football and fullbacks that can defend before getting a player like Coutinho imo.

I wonder what Big Steve's tactics and analysis room looked like.

Another doubt I have with Howe is his relative inexperience. I'd like to see coaches from a variety of backgrounds - and the best we could possibly hope to appoint at this stage - in place to facilitate that next transition. I don't think Howe has that address book, sadly, and I can well see the current fuckwits staying in place a while longer yet.

He's such a fucking knacker. A proper neanderthal of the football world.

'Sack Ryan for being unloy-disloyal and generally being shit at his job'

What has been said to determine that it's defo likely to be Howe if it isn't Emery?

A new manager in the stands might have given the current shower of shit something to play for. As it stands it'll be 10 behind the ball, Bacon's hit and hope tactics, and 20% possession. To fucking Brighton.

Outside the top eschelon of elite managers, I can't see why many would turn down the opportunity to spend millions, earn millions, and have a blank slate to work from. My own biased view, of course, but I think NUFC are attractive proposition. Expectations are that we head in a 'right direction' rather than guarantee immediate success.

Have got an irrational hatred of that slab head cunt.

They’ll soon be off to clean Big Steve’s bog in Portugal hopefully. Inept pair of useless cunts have no business even putting out the cones at this level.

The squad is just so fucking shit. We have a great chance with Emery, who’ll be able to get them playing to a plan, but he’ll have to do it pretty quickly.

The need for a central midfielder or two has never been more urgent.

Was thinking this earlier. I can't remember a time in which the standard and quality has been so high.

He's the absolute best appointment we could have made really. Time to instil a bit of pride back in the footballing identity of the club and nice to have a manager you think could at least give those at the top a fucking good game.

I wonder what Bruce would say if you stuck him in front of a magnetic tactics board and asked him to explain how he got results.

Will be a blessed relief not have a fat cunt in the dugout.

I look forward to the two cone botherers and Steve Bruce skid mark wipers fucking off asap. Absolutely fucking useless 'coaches'.

Don't believe it.

I get the sense he's still starting because Jones doesn't want to upset the apple cart and piss off the big characters. Clark and Shelvey fall into that bracket too

One of the most enjoyable videos I've seen on YouTube recently is that cunt almost dying after trying the cinnamon challenge.

I'd hate to see the look on his face when he took the first training session and saw all of his good work undone by the feckless morons who replaced him.

Fancy having so few options that you were forced to play that fucking melt Delph.

What the fuck is that twat wearing?

Huge game. They're light years ahead of us in every department unfortunately. 2-0 at least

Joelinton should be nowhere near the team. We all know that Shelvey will be back in against Brighton too.
