Howe got his tactics wrong at the start today but was also let down by 3+ individual errors for each of the goals. I'd have taken 3 points from these last 2 games, personally. We haven't played well this season but we've got the results I'd have liked (not loved, but liked). Onto the next game.

Yeah. I think he personifies it most but we're lacking confidence and tenacity atm. Not sure why, seems there's something 'off' to me.

At least he doesn't have Cole Palmers.

Locking wheel nuts.

Blyth pier.

Seeing the preview for NUFC vs Man City makes me desperate to win today. Go in full of confidence and we can beat the blue bastards at home.

Hammers being nailed. Back in the toolbox, Irons.

Cole Palmers barber absolutely stealing a living.

Longstaff starts. Tonali starts next week.

West Ham are awful out of possession.

That was a blatant penalty, surely.

I think we need someone like Regis LeBris if we want to really get anywhere and win something tbh. Lad makes a fair point.

Me too.

I'm not sure any manager does significantly better over the same time period as Howe tbh.

Love Eddie Howe just shutting down stupid questions now like. He really has mastered these interviews somewhat. Keeps driving the unity message, love that. What a guy.

Oh no. #AddedPressure

Could do with a comfortable win here but in reality it's likely to be a scrappy draw or scraping a win. Getting in to play City at home, unbeaten, kind of gives us a free hit a little bit, get anything from that afterwards and really the sky should be our limit and we should start to believe in ourselves a lot more.

Hasn't that been said for like 4 years now

Then why wouldn't it be across the board if that was the case? I mean it may explain it somewhat but I doubt it to be honest. I personally think 4 is a tad harsh but I think it's a lot more reasonable (and acceptable) than a 2.

What? Playing 2 out of 10 is literally doing everything like 80% wrong in that game. He absolutely doesn't. Average is not 2 out of 10.

The debate is whether he's a 2 out of 10 every week or average tbf. He's absolutely not a 2 out of 10. I don't think anyone is saying he's prime Zidane.

As mentioned previously it was referring to people giving ratings of a 2 and being entirely unreasonable in their analysis of him. So I guess it's no surprise that folk being unreasonable get met with similar lack of reasoning. It doesn't upset me, but it does annoy me. I don't get what people achieve from it. As Tron said and hopefully was later discussed, there was reason met with reason.

I know. I'm not asking you to
