I think league position is the bigger draw Now would Gerrard have had us in a better position? That's a different question but ultimately not worth dwelling on too much I am surprised at how quickly people have turned on Howe, I understand the frustrations and there have been things which aren't good enough but I do believe he will come good. It might not be this season, the rot in the club was perhaps too much to fix but I think eventually once he has a bulk of his own players we'll see better. And if we don't, then fair enough, serious questions can be asked

Just about everyting? Bloody hell, talk about exaggeration

Midfield is key, ours is shit You can give Longstaff and Shelvey to Pep, Klopp and they'll not be able to polish them If Howe had better alternatives and he was persisting with them then I'd give him stick but we literally have no one else, it's a dire situation However what Howe should be doing is demanding 2 new CM's because the current lot will relegate us comfortably, if he can't see how crucial that is then I do worry long term I think some of the comments are mad and very knee jerk, I thought us of all fanbases around would be the most patient, we put up with 14 years of Ashley and I thought resilience is just a given but I'm seeing far too many people slagging Howe off and writing him off, despite the main issues with the side/squad not of his doing

We can challenge all we like, it just requires 14 clubs to vote to change things, as they did with the sponsorship I agree going down negatively impacts FFP but that's a possibility they will have been well aware of I'm trying to look at relegation as a set back rather than a disaster, which it would have been under Ashley/Bruce

What rule book would that be? They can make rule changes now when we are in the league?

Fofana had another good game today, we should throw money at him and get him signed before Leeds Him instead of Longstaff improves our midfield tenfold

I agree with that, the improvement has not been enough I'm just not ready to start calling for Howe to go, far too soon for that and I think ultimately he was chosen because when we go down then he has experience of getting promoted from The Championship

I'm not saying 29.55 is great, I'm just pointing out that in comparison to Bruce it's better Let's not forget we had a decent set of fixtures under Bruce too but he blew in, that's where the foundation of our problems started

No impact whatsoever is a bit harsh imo, I understand the late equaliser hurts and emotions are running high Bruce had 3 points from 8 games, across a full season that's 14.25 points Howe has 7 points from 9 games, across a full season that's 29.55 points So there is an improvement, unfortunately it's not enough of an improvement Plus you add in this isn't his squad, I'm willing to reserve judgement on him

I mean, I'll look at it as Bruce/Ashley taking us down The problems started before Howe and have continued with Howe, not his players, I'll happily give him time

Not his players, they have shown they have an absolute pathetic and weak mentality Not going to judge Howe so soon, getting rid of him would be irrelevant. I don't think anyone saves us and I would trust him to get us promoted

13 isn't it

If the Gosens links are accurate then it suggests Howe wants to move to a back 5

Grealish should be scoring that, big chance

1) Kamara 2) Carlos 3) Fofana

He really isn't Up until the World Cup he was brilliant, amongst the top CB's out there but the knee injury he picked up has ruined him Since then he's always picking up injuries but also always looks out of shape, even injuries aside he's all over the shop when he has played I would absolutely avoid him at all costs

Nope, not sure how people keep getting it wrong like but the deadline is tomorrow The Brighton-Palace game is irrelevant as we don't intend on playing him in that fixture

Yes, you are right, he's under investigation, still a big risk to take

Yeah, Fofana and Kamara can easily play in the same midfield as they are very different players Just signing those two transforms our team tenfold

Canny brave move that would be considering he has a pending court case

Ah so he did, fotmob app clearly wrong then

Played the full 90 minutes in their FA Cup match on Saturday

Hopefully we have some agreement in place for him to get a decent amount of minutes Looking at the table they are in between relegation and play off spots, likely to stay around there so it's not a bad club to join as that should mean he can get a run of games as there won't be significant pressure

And Wood also offers something aside from goals He's brilliant in the air and he does well to hold up the ball and allow others in to play It's key we get players in and around him

It's not my money so not fussed, the main question is does he improve our team/squad? And the answer is yes Plus Trippier crosses to Wood is potentially what keeps us up People go on about him scoring only 3 goals, I wonder if the reaction from those being negative about this would have been the same if we signed Toney? I mean the guy has 4 goals (2 of which were penalties) this season
