Has Joelinton done an interview since Howe came in? If so could someone post the link please?

Anyone think we might benefit from a rebuild year in the championship? As long as the consortium don't decide to sell us to some cowboys if we get relegated

So this is what it feels like to actually enjoy watching a football match. Heart attacks may become a more common occurrence at St James Park under Howe though

Tbf this is just my assumption as Howe started to favour the 3-4-3 towards the end of his Bournemouth reign. Anything is possible I guess.

I think they'll be playing like Aldi versions of Reece James and Chilwell in Tuchels 3-4-3

It's a 3-4-3 with Ritchie and Murphy wingbacks

Will be interesting to see who out of Tindall or Jones actually takes charge.

How the fuck is Shelvey gonna press for 90 mins

I love Mitro but surely he wouldn't be ideal for an Eddie Howe team where the team needs to be a well drilled unit working hard and pressing.

Does this guy actually know anything? Hasn't he been wrong about loads of stuff?

Don't know if this has already been posted in another thread but this concept kind of fills me with dread. I don't want a kit with Saudi green and definitely don't want fucking swords on it.

I completely agree with this and these are my feelings exactly. At the same time I find it funny how few of us made our position on this clear before the takeover happened. Before the takeover was confirmed I saw very few posts (from our fans) speaking about the terrible terrible people that were trying to buy the club. I guess it just shows how desperate we were to be rid of Ashley and have some hope again.

It's difficult for them to compete for trophies this season because Ole managed a top 3 squad in the world to where they are at right now What he did to Van de Beek and what he is well on his way to doing to Sancho is a disgrace. He signed CR7 and Varane, that should demand immediate success. If he's playing two 35+ year olds at striker with Rashford, Greenwood, and Sancho on the bench that would suggest all he cares about is immediate results. I watched Man U vs City and they looked like Bruce's Newcastle What is Ole's excuse? Pep got 100 points in the Premier league with Delph at LB, Klopp got to a CL final with Lovren and Karius.

I don't think people are obsessed but just genuinely baffled at man u fans support of a manager who is clearly not good enough. A lot of them have even convinced themselves that they wouldn't have taken Conte and even that there is literally not one manager out there right now that can do a better job than Ole

This account is well worth a follow, really knows his stuff about tactics.

It's a tough one because we need our wingers to track back, which ASM doesn't do. Remember that game where we got destroyed by Lamptey and ASM just couldn't defend against Lamptey to save his life. He ended up sulking and getting subbed off I believe. If it was Almiron on that left side tracking Lamptey I'm certain he would have done a miles better job shutting him down. I guess this is where we have to trust Howe to get the tactics right and adjust for the opposition which he often does. The game Bournemouth beat Conte's Chelsea 3-0 at Stamford bridge was the first time they had played 3-4-3 and Howe did it to match them and press their wide CB's.

Makes me more comfortable about our manager search. Villa are a way more attractive prospect than us, their squad is miles ahead of ours and don't forget they aren't afraid of spending money either. But, their shortlist is about on par with our shortlist.

The funny thing about Ole is that you only hear the excuses for why he's not a terrible manager. You don't hear many reasons for why he is a good manager. Would any other club in the premier league take Ole after he leaves Man U?

Nobody can argue that what Ranieri did was a miracle but I think the fact he's been fairly average everywhere else is why people don't rate him that highly. Would anyone haven taken. him at NUFC? I wouldn't have.

They play some fantastic football, they create a lot of chances they just don't have a clinical striker to put them away. Regarding net spend, that's fair enough but their squad is still not great, they've come up from the championship and their squad needed/needs a lot of investment.

OGS 9th? Please explain? Genuinely curious.

So how are we hoping Howe will line us up? I'm hoping for this: Wilson St Max Almiron - Hayden - Willock - Murphy Ritchie - Lascelles - Fernandez - Manquillo Dubravka I'd want Schar and Lewis to start eventually but I'd prefer if those two are eased in, I think they could both end up being a liability if rushed back in. Also hopefully Eddie could bring something out of Fraser because Murphy is not a premier league standard winger. Ball winning midfielder who can control the game should be the priority in January.

Nobody else rate Klopp higher than Pep? For me what he's done for Liverpool is more impressive than pep for city.

It's the thought that counts

Rafa was wearing a black and white tie at the Everton Spurs game today Anyone got a picture?
