Super Duper Branko Strupar

Yeah, but he didnt meet any of those 5 points, did he. Are we being had or what? Oakie?

He's literally asked for a CV

Including Alonso in there is a canny stretch. He had a nice spell at Leverkusen and that's it. He's as yet unproven. And Nagelsmann did well with the best team in Germany and has been underwhelming with the Germany national team.

Sorry, that wasnt really aimed at you, more the general sentiment from a lot of posters. And Im sure everyone agrees about our defensive incapabilities this season. Though it's not too different from Liverpool's and Man Utd's. And though we've been visibly poor in attack as well we've out scored Sunderland, Brighton, Fulham, Everton and Villa who are all above us. A few either way and things would be markedly different. All of that isnt to say we've not improved on last year in play or in personnel, which is what everyone hopes. We spent a decent amount in the summer which hasnt done what you'd expect. But giving players one season doesnt seem sensible to me. Next year Thiaw and Ramsey could well be even better and that'd be huge. Hell maybe even Elanga might repeat last season at Forest. Nick could click. Wissa, no. Which is mad because if he'd started this year as he played last we'd have been golden. And I'd have laughed the price tag off. I suppose I just dont get the short term absolutism generally on here with regards to Howe atm. And the lack of balance. I cant see myself supporting this club like that.

But it's context. It's not to say we cant aspire to be better if teams are poorer, but an explanation of why we're experiencing some of the same problems so many others have. And how fine margins could make it all very different. Take singings for example. Has Mbuemo been good? Cunha. Sesko. Delap. Gyokeres. Wirtz. Kerkez. Madueke. Guessand. Sancho. Gittens. Dibling. Bobb. Kalimeundo. Simons. Tel. Kuolo Muani. Yet we're awful? Who are the PLs top performers? Semenyo. Rice. Bruno F. Harry Wilson. Thiago. Bruno G... Small pool. How are we that much worse than everyone else it means our manager is suddenly awful? Arsenal are awful to watch and uncreative af but they'll win the league. Saka, Martinelli, Gyokeres, Madueke etc have been poor. City havent been great despite hoovering up creative talent and theyre second. Villa have been poor but somehow 4th. Chelsea and Liverpool have been poor despite spending obscene amounts. Who would we take from Brighton, Brentford, Everton, Bournemouth? Dango Outtara went for 45m. Which other PL side has signed someone from "abroad" that has been a success? We have a sub par season and all of a sudden we're awful. It's batshit mental. Why are people so blinkered?

You're a peculiar guy.

Who are you like, Andrew Tate? And not even a season, btw. You need to try meditation or something, you're just winding yourself up. We got to the semis of the League Cup to be knocked out by City. Decent in the FA cup to be knocked out by City. Beating multiple PL sides along the way. Canny decent in the CL to be knocked out by Barcelona (who we also deserved to beat at home). Yes we were embarrassed away and by losing to the Mackems twice. Yes our league form has been generally poor this year. I'd tak on to that who's been good? Its a poor league. It's such an odd way to go on. Not long ago Howe was touted as a genius for how we dominated Arsenal home and away along with many other performances that year. And previous. And now he all of a sudden has no answers in such a relatively short space of time? You seem to lack so much understanding it's really quite baffling.

A season and a half? Didnt we qualify for the CL and win a trophy in that time?

What did you think after the Barcelona home game?

Are you comparing Kenny Dalglish to Eddie Howe?

Name a PL side that isnt.

He's not at all. The fact he references "we" so many times after shows you what he's saying. "We were poor", "We havent fixed it", "We let them in". It's an acknowledgement that the fans are justified, imo.

Hahahahaha. Class. You stupid fucking reprobates.

Oof

Murder these scruffy cunts

"Scroll up you thick cunts" gets me every time.

His foot must be too far away to actually touch the ball like 90% of the time he's doing it. So easy to nick it from him. Thinks he's Michael Flatley.

So soft.

Wey that was stupid
