Not sure why people are so convinced we're going to lose this - both us and Fulham can be quite unpredictable. On paper it does look like it's going to be a painful watch mind 

Honestly cannot wait for next season. Just hope we manage to make it into Europe, whether it's the Europa or the Conference I'm really not fussed, anything is better than nowt in terms of the club's standing in the game.

In theory how many players will we have back for the start of the season (assuming no transfers), all bar Botman and Lascelles?

And Tonali, of course 

And Ashley Young throwing himself to the deck every 90 seconds.

Honking stuff to watch every week.

The issue for me isn't that this is a forum and people argue. The issue is that a few of the posters had absolutely AIDS ridden responses about Howe two years ago, pretended like they didn't when it was good, briefly went back to it before the Cup final last year, and are now full in again. And then they complain that their voices are being stifled.

 

 

 

Nah, the issue for me is posts like this - people complaining about people complaining. People have to be allowed to post their thoughts without fear of being told their opinions are "aids ridden". Whatever that means.

Motm tonight and I'm not exactly his biggest fan. Shut down so much and was pretty solid throughout. He had too much of the ball when Dummett came on though, not his fault but Paully D was just too scared to play the ball forward.

I guess any shot is a chance against Dubs tbf, so I'll concede I'm wrong. 

I was worried about some of those Pickford long balls tbh 

Just now, Smal said:

Tarkowski's header after 8 minutes (0.25xg) and Docoure 43 minutes (0.12xg) after were their only shots to register over 0.07xg in the game other than the penalty. The Garner shot which hit the post was a 0.04xg effort generated from very little tbh.

Does XG account for a keeper who rarely saves a thing

I just don't understand how you attribute any success to him. I get that he does something and he is good at something, I just don't know what that something is that people are going to be able to turn around in 3/4 years and say "that's what he's done that's won us the League Cup". Scouts do the scouting, coaches do the coaching, the manager does the tactics. Commercial directors do their thing.

So where the hell has this setback bs came from then

I can't stand him. He's only where he is because of his pace, I don't think he's got a lot of quality on the ball.

I'd take Ramsdale over Meslier like. Not much in it between them and Pope and I'd rather stick with what we've got if Pope comes back well from injury.

Mike Maignon please

Despite everything that has been said in this thread you're still talking about being confused about why we were mint last season and now we are not?

 

Someone even posted a graph that showed at the start of this season we were on track with last season prior to losing key personnel.

 

And still you can't get your head around things? 

 

It's as simple as were not good anymore so the manager isn't learning?!

 

This is somewhat terrifying man.

 

 

 

Completely missed the point. We've obviously been massively hampered by injuries ffs ?

We've all heard him talk about the way he works and looks to continue to learn.

 

If that's not good enough for you then I don't know what to tell you.

I'm not disputing the fact that he learns, I'm just saying we've got no evidence to suggest it's true. It's something I've read on here more than once and I can't understand how anyone has come to that conclusion based on the fact that last season we were mint and this season we've been quite disappointing on multiple occasions.

A Dodds Out thread already. BYEEEWTIFUL

Really like that Fatawu for Leicester. 

I thought he was a bit 'meh' the other day, quite raw and wasteful. Feel like he fits in to that bracket of being too good for the Championship but ineffective in the PL.

Dunno how it's weird mind, I thought Murphy had a really good game.

A difference of opinion? Lock the thread now!

Once again, no one is saying he's perfect. And absolutely no manager is by the way.

 

The issue is the constant nit picking over everything and making out he's some sort of clueless idiot, which is the real issue here.

 

Despite his imperfections he's done great work and continues to do so despite some challenges this season. 

 

And looking at his approach to things it is very likely he will continue to learn and improve on things going forward.

 

This is not the calibre of manager or person to disregard so willy nilly.

 

 

Once again I don't see any evidence of this.

I don't think there's a better alternative right now than Eddie but christ let's not pretend he's perfect. It's okay to question him (and any future manager) just as we questioned KK, SBR & Rafa before him.

Finally catching up with the Prem highlights. 
 

I’m like a stuck record with this. But is there a worse co-commentator than Andy Cunting Hinchcliffe?! 
 

Every missed chance he always immediately has the answer and tells us all what the player should be doing. Just a constant doom monger and a really whiney pitch to his voice. 
 

In a world where fans are constantly complaining about females in football media. This bloke gets an unbelievably easy ride. 

Yes, that dour cunt from Scotland who seemed to do every single one of our games when we were shit. He sat there for 90 minutes whinging about how shit we were and sounded like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world.

A four yard sideways pass that anyone could have played can equal a chance created, right?

I don't mind Dummett as a 4th or 5th choice CB, we're not going to do much better unless we start eating into the FFP / PSR bollocks and there's other positions we need to be looking at before worrying about who our absolute worst case scenario centre back is. Still reckon a quality right winger transforms us more than anything else. And I'll  still bang the Raphina drum. He's absolute quality.

100% worst I’ve seen. Application of VAR is a disgrace really.

Guy was on a yellow as well, just give him a second and be done with it

Pep is such a weirdo.

What's he done now?
