  1. I mean like last time I might be against the grain here but I wasn't overly convinced by that. We did make some good chances but our actual goals were a) shit by Chelsea and b) fortunate (though we were due some luck). Chelsea not scoring there is basically what has been happening to us recently. Wouldn't be surprised if their xG was higher than ours there. They were so wasteful in front of goal. Happy with the win mind! And hopefully it's a nice confidence boost for us to kick on.
  2. Was that intentionally giving them the ball back or a shit pass?
  3. Beauty of no VAR is that we just move on with our lives.
  4. Osula doing a good Wilson impression of being able to receive and hold the ball under pressure.
  5. Not sure about that tbh. Think they've had plenty of chances that they've just not taken well at all.
  6. Think we played better on Sunday tbh. Especially considering this is a second string Chelsea team. I know we aren't quite full strength ourselves but still.
  7. Obviously pleased we are 2 up but we don't look great at the back at all.
  8. You're supposed to shoot Joe. Not pass it out.
  9. Felt that yellow was harsh. Longstaff is just crap.
  10. Two better goals I don't think you'll ever see.
  11. Shut the fuck up. Spend ages telling us the reason we haven't been winning is our shot conversion followed by it's because Longstaff does extra defensive work.
  12. This feels like it's got quite a few goals in it.

    I think this is a little harsh based on what we were left with after Ashley. We could have definitely done better. But we could certainly have done much worse. We've managed 4th/7th so far with the business we have done, and despite a rocky start to the season I think 7th+ could still be on the cards this season. Our transfer business was never going to be 100% right.
  14. I expect us to be full strength for this. If we had a CL game we would be. Treat it like that. We need to get our first XI clicking and this is a great chance to get some confidence in, especially if Chelsea field a weakened team. We have to be strong favourites for this. If we lose then Howe out, Saudis out, etc, etc

    Will get as many minutes for us this season as Wilson.

    Eddie Howe

    Was avoiding this thread over the weekend but now it's calmed down a bit thought i'd add my own twopenneth. Obviously the vibes around the club don't feel great at the moment, but I'm still willing to put that mainly down to PSR. With PSR in mind has our transfer business been perfect? No. Was it ever going to be? No. We started with a squad decimated over the years with very few saleable assets. Howe has enough about him and enough in the bank that I'm happy for him to be given the chance to turn things around. We've had two windows now with essentially no signings. We've got Mitchell - January is a test of whether they've worked together to sort out some of the most pressing issues in the squad. Given the squad as it is currently I'm not sure who else we'd get in that would have the squad as it is now performing at a better level. They'd need a transfer window or two and at this point I'd rather go for consistency and give them to Howe. It's not to say I have 100% blind loyalty. There are obvious deficiencies which need to be ironed out. But this isn't the same situation as sticking with a Pardew or a Bruce for instance.
