Tiresias

boooooo

Really don't get the dislike some have for him, he's a limited player and been a good service, and people forget how solid he was under rafa longside longstaff when admittedly the tactical play was they werent needed to be creative but still

Yeah well what an idiot but i wish the internet didnt make such business on bringing twats you would have never heard about to your attention so we can all get very angry at them. The amount of 'engagement with the platform' generated by outrage at no marks is ludicrous. I'm not saying he shouldnt have lost his job but twitter mobs can be indescriminate and life changing and just unecessary. Aye what a twat no need to pile on.

Hmmm shorter than I'd hoped for but very excited for Bruno. Really wish we'd sign another goal threat

Pathetic when manager has told him he is not needed and free to go. Hierarchy playing with players careers for politics.

there will be more hopefully we will have our scouting and structure more solidly in place by summer

What is he going to make of the practically immobile Shelvey playing next to him

Yeah its less than ideal, but he is solid decent signing but would like a transformative CB, not that surprised that was extremely difficult to get tho

Catts for me like

I wouldnt rule out a Dubravka Lascelles Schar Burn Trippier Bruno Big Joe/Shelvey Targett ASM Ekitike Wood

I am genuinely off work ill. coughing my lungs out and with a raging headache but this is a benefit. (i have pcr tested somehow its not the covid)

The absolute state of signing all these players and we'll likely have chris wood up front for next few months

There are financial fair play constraints, and expect them to tighten as clubs try to stop us

Don't think so, it's very likely hampered due to the victim being entitled to automatic anonymity and in these cases it would be very easy to identify who it is so the papers would struggle to report it without giving it away.

Decent signing, seems very good value

Just seen it, amazing own goal, trying to work out the thought process of the defender...

He will totally sort out their terrible defence. Oh wait...

Getting the backroom organisation of the club up to scratch is a huge job that takes time. Getting our squad back up to reasonable standard after years of awful coaching neglect and poor signings is also a huge task. It was always a tall order to avoid the need we are in and i do think they dithered but my criticism is tiny really. They could do everything right and we could still go down. I think we will go down, i don't know if it's realistically avoidable but i know this whole club needs root and branch change and a season in championship isn't worst thing in the world to clear out rotten crap. The concern of course is premier League voting to prevent us coming back up i guess

Everton mate reckons hes gone

i agree with that but i think we're probably down anyway. Need to take championship year to rebuild squad and then hope the premier league dont change the rules to ban us when we come back up (they totally will)

The squad is absolutely terrible, midfield has been awful for ages and both the defense and attack are terrible. This is teh result of basically poor recruitment that drove Rafa out. The players that used to perform at a higher level have regressed, Howe needs to get Longstaff playing well again but I dunno if he can. The defence can't handle whats being asked of them, and our attack is too slow to cause too many problems. Too reliant on 'moments of magic' happening still. Howe isn't fully to blame. Maybe it is too toxic. But players like Fraser, Shelvey and Longstaff belong nowhere near a premier league team. nowhere near.

Go down, ditch as much of the squad as possible and rebuild, even if leaves us in championship for another few seasons we need a total wipe. I am not convinced by Howe yet but he has inherited a total shit show. There are no current players I would be particularly sad to lose.

City have won the league, their talent in depth has kept them at a higher level during this extremely attritional winter bit of season. Very hard to see them even coming close to losing that lead, probably just give them trophy now. Only thing interesting I guess is race for 4th place, of which I hope West Ham manage it somehow
