You’d hope Almiron will be more open to a move now considering how little he has played.

Really good today, some lovely touches on the ball which impressed me. Fair play to him hope he keeps it up

It’s interesting to me, I don’t dislike Longstaff and often finds the stick he gets unfair. I have seen a lot of comments praising his performance last night, I don’t recall anything of note standing out in a positive way. the below clip did stand out at the time in a bad way, that’s so poor defensively from Longstaff imo, he should be following Felix into the box. https://x.com/nufc/status/1851994535661912105?s=46&t=V2wv_sDmp20-elneeiPmQg im not saying he had a bad game overall but I don’t recall anything amazing.

I’d put him in over Burn purely based on pace and passing ability. we’ve been hampered a lot recently by how slow we are in central defence, it needs fixing and Kelly can plug that hole. no dig at Burn who has been one of our better players this season, but has limitations on the ball and is never going to get quicker.

Couldn’t help but smile to myself when him and Bruno did their little passage of 1-2’s

Not bothering to read too much today, plenty of shite being spouted on Twitter (as expected) but Howe is not to blame for poor decision making by multiple players. he’s also not exempt from criticism, his subs and persistence with the 433 need questioning, but would isak have passed to joelinton for example if we had a different manager?

For me, especially with Hall and Livramento at FBs, I think we need to either play 3 at the back, or have an actual DM who stays back and allows the FBs to get forward. with our current squad it would have to be 3 at the back, I wouldn’t mind seeing: Pope Schar Botman Kelly Livramento Tonali Bruno Hall RW (this is the big issue - Murphy and Almiron are not good enough, however it may be more of an inverted role so maybe even Willock could do a job for now) Isak Gordon could even put Gordon right and Barnes left. It would mean plenty of cover at the back at all times, plenty of width, and talent in the middle. however I don’t think we will deviate from the 433 - but we need to tweak it if it remains.

The amount of garbage I’ve read since yesterday about Howe, I’ve just looked at be table thoroughly expecting to see us 14th/15th. We should have won yesterday, and the fact we didn’t is down to poor execution, not Howe. we are still playing without a right winger, again not on Howe (completely anyway). I agree he needs to improve, be it more flexibility with tactics/formation, but I can’t believe so many people are firmly in the ‘Howe Out’ brigade.

Hypothetically could we see PIF/PIF linked companies giving out sponsorship deals elsewhere to raise the ceiling of our own future deals in terms of FMV?

So is this big news or not?

Believe I saw a star earlier which said either 11/12 or 12/13

With a disappointing window behind us, does anyone know what our position is looking like post June 2025? I am assuming we will have more wiggle room but I don’t have a clue about the figures to be honest.

My apologies, always told myself I would never get done by a fake Twitter account, just when you think this day couldn’t get any worse.
