Delighted with the result obviously, but somewhat concerned about the performance. Burnley are crap tbh and we still struggled to break them down. Sadly I can see us still being on 10 points after the next 4 games, which will see us probably cut adrift again. Will need a miracle and some very astute signings in January to stay up.

Bruce fucked us during his entire time here. He turned a solid and organised Rafa defence, into the shit show we have now.

This is a football pet hate of mine. Booing every ex player, regardless of the circumstances in which they left. He never got a sniff at the first team here and did the right thing for his career by moving on.

We had the team spirit to come back from behind twice, which we wouldn't have done when egg and chips was in charge. So yes, progress, but we needed a better result.

Had a good game overall though. He was absolutely blowing towards the end, was all over the park today.

Bottom of the league now

He comes on and we instantly look worse

Longstaffs Movember tache

Showed more confidence in this first half than 2 years under Bruce. Keep it up lad

Sounds too much like Al Qaeda for my liking

Like the Berlin wall coming down

We are public enemy number one now from a media perspective, we need to accept that. They have loved every minute of us being dump under Ashley, and now hate us being a threat to their established order. Hopefully the noise will die down over time.

They are giving a football manager more stick than the actual government, who also deal with the saudis

I wonder if a proper coach like Howe could turn Jo into a half decent player. He sometimes shows small glimpses of ability, and maybe with the right guidance and coaching he still has a chance of making it.

What is the sorcery!?

He does come across as a bit of a workaholic (in a good way obviously), similar to Rafa in that sense.

Is he going to have a press conference today?

Neither Longstaff or shelvey can run. But at the very least Shelvey can occasionally pick a pass I suppose

If it isn't confirmed before he sits in the stands, he might well do a runner after watching us play.

He comes across like a real student of the sport. I'm intrigued to see what formation and line up we go with, when he officially starts.

Surprised a coach like Jones was prepared to work with Bruce at all, based on his clear disagreements with the way Bruce ran the show.

Why won't they just confirm this? Why are the dragging it out?

Not my first choice but fuck it, glad we have someone in. The new era starts now! let's get behind him

'Reportedly interviewed via Zoom last week, further talks with him are expected - although unlike Emery, it's unclear whether Howe is backed by all of the owners.' Noticed this on .com I certainly hope that our complex new owner set up, doesn't result in conflict with other big decisions, further down the line. Early days of course and only time will tell.
