Loyalty is his weakness

All on Howe. Utter predictable shite playing a cart horse at left back

Was hoping to see Hall start

He’s too good not to be competing in CL every year.

Surely carrying an injury because this is awful

We’re absolutely horrendous in possession, Ramsey and Miley would make a big difference here

The concern for me isn’t our potential, it’s our record — all three league wins have been against teams below us, and we’ve failed to win in seven games against sides above 13th. That doesn’t bode well.

tbf our away form’s been poor all year — not a one-off. Four away wins in 2025, all against weaker sides. Love Howe, but he still hasn’t found the answers away from St James’.

4 away PL wins in 2025. Clearly not good enough

100%

Except he did. He changed players but he didn’t change the style, which is clearly what I was meaning. Tonali at right back ffs, criminal offence that tbh

I remember a quote from him a couple of years ago where he said that if you keep doing the same thing, it’ll eventually work out. He’s obviously an excellent manager, but honestly, that mindset highlights his weakness in game management. Today was the first time where it looked like he had no idea what to do. Proper scatter gun game management.

Put Tonali right back 😂😂 proper scatter gun game management approach again from Howe. We’re a mid table team and that isn’t good enough with what we have

Put Tonali right back.

Far worse than Brentford away last season and that was something

He’s pretty shite now, imo. Love what he’s done for the club but offers nowt now

Imagine how bad he’ll be once he starts losing his pace 😂

Far too many backward and sideways passes again — trying to manage another away game with players who clearly aren’t suited to that approach. Ultimately, that’s on Howe; the signs have been there all season.

No goals or assists in 18 PL games is horrific. Shouldn’t be starting

Fuming over this, utter pathetic display, the fuckin arrogance to think you can just turn up and win

Shambolic effort this, I’d quite happily see 5 changes at the break

We’re a good PL team but it’s already looking like the domestic campaign is gonna be a slog. Next signings need to the clever, technical type of player imo

I was on about playing style tbh. Isak creates space with his movement, big Wolts playing style is completely different and is likely harming Elanga performance. Like a more technical player around big wolts is probably better for him

Would have never been signed had we known Isak was leaving. Great personality but tbh how many of the other teams in the top half would he start for?

tbh I thought the midfield were horrendous at tracking the runs from their centre backs. Barnes at fault for their winner, ball watching and letting runner get behind him. Piss poor
