Crazy, seems like a lifetime ago he was appointed. So much has happened in 12months. I was genuinely underwhelmed with the appointment at the time. A lot of that was down to Emery's u-turn and I thought Howe was a massive downgrade on Emery, plus I didn't think Howe was anything special to begin with. With players like Wilson and ASM in the squad I was always quietly confident we'd avoid the drop as the other teams down in the mix didn't have any players as good as those two. It would have been impossible for Howe to have done a worse job than his predecessor, but I was honestly expecting us to finish around 15th or something at best and avoid the drop with a few games to spare. In my mind, best case scenario was that he turns us into a mid-table side and he'd be used as a stepping stone to a better manager: sort of like how Hughes was at Man City. The turnaround has been incredible. There's not one criticism you can throw his way during his time here. Every player has been given a chance, there's no favourites. If you play well, you stay in the side (see Murphy and Longstaff). Players I'd happily have seen the back of (Almiron & Joelinton) are completely reborn. He's spent wisely and bedded the big signings in carefully. He's really bought into the club and the players and fans have really bought into him. He never puts his foot in it with silly comments, he's calm and meticulous. Mad to think he came close to getting the Celtic job.

From a purely selfish perspective, got no problems with Joelinton not being called up and Bruno not being a starter. I really can't wait for this WC to be over so the league can start again.

We beat them with 9 men under Bruce. Alarm bells should have been ringing then.
