If I were them I'd just show off the player and leave the rest of the shite back at little Benton.

Well that's a cheery thing to see on blue Monday isn't it

Why would you honestly waste your time on that, bloke is a fat fucking failure just like his dad and a shit wum. I wanted Bruce out because he was causing unnecessary friction in the club and it seemed like the easiest win for the new owners. The Howe appointment was a bit of a meh appointment, but I was just happy to not have absolute cunts associated to my club. If we go down this season which is looking likely, they need to assess whether or not EH has shown enough in the remainder of seasons to entrust him with the promotion push and beyond.

Would you trust staveley and mehrdad again to make the managerial choice? I know PIF were supposedly in agreement on Howe, but do you think they sort of just allowed AS to push on in her management of the club? I think we need the right man in place as DOF before we make anymore big decisions. We need a clear vision for how they want this club to be and allow this person to make the moves.

Fair point. I personally believe joelinton has improved and Lewis, even Murphy to a degree. Wilson was enthused but his performances were a bit iffy prior to injury, although the way we were playing was basically giving him scraps to convert. If we can put some real quality in the middle of the pitch this January I'm confident we can start turning some draws into wins. EH wasn't my first choice, but he said the right things and the owners were impressed by his interview so I've tried to put a but trust In him. I'll be honest, I was so sick of being negative and hating nufc I'm struggling to get myself too worked up now. The very fact conversation is so charged now is that we all want the club to stay up and push on, 6 months ago I wouldn't have gave a fuck.

Aye, with shite instead of Jam in the middle.

I get it I really do, but we aren't cut adrift yet so there is still hope. But that hope is purely based in New recruits and soon. If that doesn't happen then this current team is relegated, possibly even bottom if Burnley win any of their 20 games in hand.

I hadn't watched a full game since the start of Bruce's tenure. Never watched highlights and struggled to come on here and read the constant in-fighting and despair. We still have in-fighting but it's now because we are all back in and feel something. And that's a positive I said I'd take relegation if it meant feeling something for my club again, unfortunately I'm getting my just desserts

On the showings since Howe came in, hell, since we got promoted! We have needed to overhaul the entire squad. We are a joke of a PL team cobbled together with journeymen and championship players. We've knew it for ages but had to back what we've got because Mike Ashley thought it was easier to give extensions to contracts because replacements were too expensive (Hayden/Gayle etc.) Unless we make significant changes with proven quality this window I'd say we are down. And I'll take it just for the absolute purging that should commence, it'll feel lush.

I honestly feel a few of them players know for a fine fact they are wanted out of this team/club and don't have the right mindset for this rescue job. Lacelles/shelvey/longstaff are absolute suicide for us right now and it needs sorted like now. EH has my support for now, along with the management. But the improvements are marginal and if it is a case of shit personnel, then they need to rectify that sharp. Nobody is immune to criticism, but when I weigh up what we had 6 month ago to now, I try to mellow a bit because I know(hope) deep down that the club is in better hands going forward

I'm still not a 10. Whilst we are still in touching distance and have some window left to better the team we have a chance. But that's only if we do some business. Because I don't think, nah, I know this current team doesn't have the mentality to keep us up.

We drew with man u lads remember, shit we should've won tbh. Definitely not secretly fuming

I'm not sure Rafa having an intimate knowledge of our shite is any added benefit whatsoever, I think everyone knows we are complete shit and don't have the mentality to win/close games out. If I were a manager I wouldn't be sweating at all, it's a case of when you score against us, not if.

It's just poor all around. If I were the owners watching that I'd seriously consider holding back from any mental signings because I think the job is just too big for a January window. Dunno, mind is all over the shop after this one so I'm gonna take 5 out to think about it all.

Mentality is so weak man. And we just have way too many poor Individuals.

Poor team still poor and suffering from the panic that we all are. They need to soak this up and break the losing mentality. Win at all costs now.

Yeah the sense of panic is real now.

How can any of them players not get a clean shot on target ffs. Longstaff with so much time just blazing it over, just how!?

ASM just needs to to the simple things right for us first!

Draw at a minimum, but a win is more than just 3 points at this stage. A win could be the catalyst for a second half season charge. We already have a lot of the club pulling in the right direction now, we just need the team to find that extra something to join the dots.

Depressingly accurate. We don't need any fluff. To quote the big man himself, everybody needs to roll their sleeves up and be accountable now.

I remain hopeful my cock will eventually grow a bit bigger, hope is not always based in reality though. I'll just have to try and live with 10" for now.

Like, his points were all good and what I want to hear. But just something about the way he tried to convey them came across as very clumsy haha. As long as he sticks a few goals away and gives his all for the cause he can speak however he wishes for me.

I mean, by the sounds of it he very much could be sold, at 80m. Seems like a no-go this one atm. Right player wrong time for us.
