The Prophet

I think our fans our great and would never childishly parrot their extremely negative takes back at them...

He's a £30 million to £35 million we paid £55 million for. He's never going to be "value" but he's better than his current performances suggest. You could say that about a handful of players at the moment mind.

It's not that bad like.

Are you familiar with the East Stand? i.e the groaning wall.

He's struggling at the moment for sure.

He's a lovely player. he just lacks top level experience. Vision, touch, dribbling, general technical ability. He does need to be smarter with his frame and attack the box better, but it's nothing that can't be coached. Of course doesn't help that we aren't getting bodies around him either.

Remember when he first signed and most said he might need a bit of time, patience and coaching, but he scored a couple so the Isak comparisons came out... He'll be reet.

Poor Ramsey

We exaggerate the ability of the squad when we're on form and downplay it when we're not.

You took a ridiculously polarised stance and then claimed you were simply criticising Howe. Something like... "Eddie has got ut wrong tonight" Or "Why has he gone man to man v City?" ...probably wouldn't have been drawn much argument, for example.

Chucking the baby out with the bathwater?

I guess there's no wiggle room between Steve Bruce level performances and immune from criticism?

JUST PUT IT IN THE NET

If the aim is to compete for top honours (i.e be in the conversation for the title) it took Arteta and Klopp around four years respectively, with pretty much an unlimited budget.

I don't really have any issues with what he's said, other than he's making a rod for his own back with fans, given expectations are already sky high.

My bad.

I'm shocked anyone would expect Howe to discuss targets for the season mind.

He's doubling down.

Even as far back as Stavely, the club has stated its reluctance to do business in January. It's a sellers market.

If the forwards were firing, Elanga would have a few more too. Gordon and Barnes have fluffed a couple he's put on a plate for them.

Don't think they need to be creative, but someone who's comfortable on the ball and not afraid to drive forward, for sure.

Please, not another thirty.

The squad doesn't need major surely. A GK and a CM to impact the first eleven and cover across the defence would do fine, depending on outgoings of course

Nah, good tackle.

Both teams full strength in the trophy no one cares about?
