Its only 10 games and city can lose points in plenty of them in their current form. If i remember correct we went on a very good run after the last cup final, after looking really poor the games before. With 6 home games and being done with the auto-losses against City and Liverpool if think we atleast have a chance of ending up above City.

Dont give a shit how we won, didnt expect anything better. Going to sleep with a smile 10 games left, 6 of them home.

Whats even the point of bringing Longstaff on when he obviously need some game time to settle in.

True, but as you said. All that matters is that we win. Things will hopefully change after this summer, especially if we get CL.

Really poor game by Isak today, probably our worst tbh

I hate VAR, cant cheer in the moment anymore..

Depends what you mean by better side i guess. If by passing slightly better in the middle of the pitch then sure.

Find it hard to agree that we have been the better side when we havent produced a single proper chance.

I know Burn has been good this season, but Jesus he has alot of brainfarts.

I know Tino has been bad, but its to much focus on him here imo. They have "all" been bad.

It comes down to playstyle. Other teams dont need to play with so high intensity to be good. When we try to calm down we just look out of our depth.

If its not serious then I dont thinks its THAT bad news. Doubt he would had been able to get himself into a good form and make much of a positive difference by the end of the season anyways. Thats assuming Schär and Burn stays fit ofcourse.. Looking really thin back there now. Hopefully its a freak injury and not an indication of what his injury record is going to be like in the future.

Sounds great that we have money to spend this summer without sellinh players. Guess it makes sense when we are getting the earlier seasons after PIFs entry off the books.

Any official news or just people here hearing things?

B after he gets some rest.

Talk of how we are doing compared to x and how many points we are below/above x spot goes both ways like. Eddie should just be based on our own performance imo, ie how many points we get. Think we are just about were we are should be in the league, with 1 fantastic cup run and one disappointing one. Slightly concerning that we have looked rather poor for the most part expect for that one insane month tbh.

From what i remember the extra game was almost automatic if the appeal got turned down.

Know it used to be that they added 1 extra game if the appeal had no grounds.

He has done alot more for us this season than what could be expected from him. Not his fault we dont have anyone else above him in the pecking order. The hate against him is just ugly.

Our squad couldnt have been that fucking shit when Steve Bruce managed to keep us in the Premier league like. To me atleast its obvious than a couple of managers have gotten more out of their squad than Eddie this season, but its also a little unfair to just compare him to managers that has overachieved. Cant expect him to deserve manager of the year every season. For me we are around where we could expect to end up if we are looking at average points pr game.

No idea tbh Probably possible to have a low basic wage and bonuses for certain things?

Hard to give anything but a E to a 33 year old striker who has scored 3 goals in 16 months. Would probably still give him a pay when you play contract if he was interested. If stars align and he stays fit I think he still could be decent after getting match fit. Fantastic striker at his best.

Arguing that it should get overturned because he was just unlucky that he hit his head is quite something. Humans have actually got pretty good control of their body movements, especially athletes. If we are going to set a precedent that people were just unlucky for hitting/kicking someone a certain place then that could be applied to pretty much every challenge.

Sorry for being annoying, but im just tired of strawmans like that. None of us in this recent discussion have indicated that Eddie has done a bad job overall.

I am one those you are referring to who is expecting pyramids?
