And 5 of those 10 were against Arsenal, Man U, City, liverpool and Leicester - throw in missing his first game with covid and Clark’s howler against Norwich, not doing too bad so far. some of the stick he has got is undeserved and I really think people should wait to judge him until he has his own squad

Overall very good, few dodgy spells in the 1st half but it looked down to a lack of confidence to me. Got better as the game went on, hopefully he can take some confidence from it and build from this.

I think people are forgetting just how much influence our league position has had. Ever since the new owners came in we have been in the relegation zone if I remember correctly. Regarding the manager, yes it seemed to take a long time, but it’s an important decision to make. They obviously wanted to get someone of the highest quality possible, but our league position put a lot of people off. Therefore the process slows as they work their way down the list. There is no doubt in my mind that if we were mid table, Bruce would be gone sooner and a new man would have been in a lot quicker. It’s the same with transfers, we probably wouldn’t need to do much business in January if we were mid table, and therefore transfers could wait until the summer. We could then spend this time to do a thorough search for a DOF (which they are doing) and again I believe this is because they want to be sure they get the right man for a long term project. However, because of the position we are in, transfers are a necessity right now and the players we want to sign have reservations about coming, because potential relegation throws a spanner in the works. If we were mid table, recruiting players would be much easier. Everything they are doing is the best interests of the club, but it’s a simple fact that they took over the club at a bad time and we are in a bad position. There is an endless list of things that need doing and yes, curtain mistakes have been made but not intentionally and there has been some ridiculous over exaggerations both on here and social media.

Very similar strike rate to Wilson so think some people are over reacting slightly

And if we survive this season I’m sure we won’t have half as many problems attracting players in the summer. But I can see why players would be against the move right now, it is a risk

We’re 19th in the league, it’s hardly a surprise

For me, I am trying to think of strikers who are good enough, available, and would be willing to come to us right now - I can’t think of any really

De Jong was the name he was given but his personal opinion was it wouldn’t happen - he is one of 2 accounts that are usually pretty accurate so I would trust him on the Botman info

Isak is one to watch

Bit early to judge him imo. Overall there has been clear improvements since Bruce left. Howe took over a team half full of championship players, and our PL level striker is injury prone. He can’t do anything about the playing squad until now, and we are only 1 week into the window. It will take until the end of the summer window really to have an 11 that Howe wants and then can implement his style of play on. He’s been given a bag of shit so not sure why any short term drastic improvements are expected. We have gradually improved but there is a very low ceiling of performance that these players are capable of reaching, regardless of who is coach.

Be nice to see Stephenson get some minutes up top, see what he can do

Arsenal favourites ahead of us

Now this is an extremely reliable Twitter account

Growing more and more confident this one gets done

From my experience he is up there with the more reliable ITK accounts

Central midfield a problem did you say…

Bet it’s not even going to be today

I don’t think he is as bad as people are making out. In his 2 1/2 seasons so far at Sevilla, he has played 100 competitive games with 26 yellows and 2 reds.

On the de jong front, this quite reliable account posted this before Christmas ..
