Think seriously questions will be asked of Howe from the board. This is only going to get worse.

You can't put out a team that don't look like they've ever met each other before and not have questions asked. He's had the rightful plaudits for a long time, but you can't rock up and not look like you give a shit. And if you're tactically out thought this badly for two games in a row, questions ought to be asked.

Has their keeper made a save?

Don't think so.

Howe has got this completely and utterly wrong.

Well, last season was fun. Normal service resumes.

Quality pass from Longstaff.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE WE DOING?

There does seem to be something off tbh. We’re overcomplicating things and are nowhere near as cohesive in our press as last season as well as standing off/too low. 

Agreed.

What on earth is going on with us at the moment?

You think too much or not enough? 

 

Considering the fee we paid for Gordon and the similar ages, I'd say Johnson has possibly shown more in the prem so far?

I guess I'm conflicted.

The price is probably about right for Johnson, but if that's what you're spending to try and replace Kane, it's a bit of a gamble.

Jesus Christ.

Would've been an 8 for me, but as @Mazzy says Botman's injury does highlight weaknesses that weren't addressed.

7.

We'll absolutely be in F. Holy shit haha.

Any particular combination of draws over the course of 16 ties is of miniscule probability. 

 

 

 

Not really.

An equilibrium between the two is the most probable. So 8 home and 8 away is around 19%.

The more "extreme" it gets in any one direction, the probability drops off significantly.

Man Utd have been drawn at home 9 out of their last 10 FA Cup Draws, and 5 out of their last 6 Carabao Cup draws.

Chances of that happening randomly are 0.18%.

Last season was fantastic.

I think this season is going to be a wake up call that there's a lot of work to be done before we can tough it with the top teams.

And Howe needs to learn - sharpish - how to do that.

This is the first time Howe has really been shown up.

Fucking joke.

Bruno needs to be dropped.

Howe needs to learn how to outthink really elite managers.

Been remarkably timid the last two games. 

Shown them too much respect.

Botman does not look good.

Fucking Burn.

Possession 60-40 to us. 

 

The commentators "Not a lot between them"   

Man City dominate possession. 

"Man City are great."

Newcastle dominate possession.

"Possession doesn't matter."

At least try and hide the bloody double standards.

Liverpool's cheating at new levels already. Just paused the clock until they score.

Putting four past Villa is a real statement. They're a fantastic side.
