We've got a Director of Women's Football now haven't we?

Like many on here I love the idea of an Eddie-Howe-inspired HBA but how would that actually play out in real life? Eddie has all the tools to coach but what if the player isn't really bothered about being coached? It ends the same as ASM ultimately - although HBA is clearly on a different planet ability wise - he gets moved on and replaced by someone less skilled but more reliable. I say this as someone who both loves Eddie and has HBA as the best and most exciting player I've ever seen live.

Gerrard has turned down Rangers Always nice for the new boss to know who's lined up to replace him before he's even got through the door...

Absolutely right. Even if an on-field or VAR makes a massive cock-up they shouldn't be being abused, same with players, managers etc. The issue with VAR isn't that the decision making isn't perfect though, when you've got judgement calls there will be occasions where two people see two different things. The problem is the absolute nonsense decisions that get made - the recent Celtic "handball" for example - where the blokes looking at the screen see one thing and literally everyone else sees something different. Edit - or the one that turned me fully against VAR, we had a goal disallowed for a foul on the keeper, but the clip the VAR showed the ref started after our attacker had been pushed into the keeper. At least give the on-field ref the entirety of the available footage to make the decision ffs. Intentionally or not, they showed him footage that led him to make the wrong decision, the exact opposite of what VAR is supposed to achieve.

He basically just needs to make the deals happen, but have a strong grip on our PSR position. Say Howe wants a particular midfielder that he/Andy H/Nickson have identified. Wilson handles the negotiations with the player & club. He may need to go back to Howe and say "It's going to cost £Xm more than we thought so if we do this deal we might not be able to sign your first choice RB", then Howe will make the ultimate decision on that. Wilson then either seals that deal or moves on to an alternative. Likewise with contract negotiations. Howe won't be Wilsons boss, but it's absolutely right that he ultimately decides which players are coming in and out of the squad because it's his job on the line if we don't perform on the pitch.

Could we play Trippier LB, two of Burn/Schar/Botman then Thiaw at RB? He's clearly comfortable carrying the ball and he's quick enough. I mean, we all know Burn is lining up on the left but it's nice to imagine isn't it...

Working for me. Love that away kit but I'm a Northumberland fan boy

Reads more like he is giving himself/Sweden credit versus Congo rather than being specifically anti-Newcastle. Tongue is clearly up Liverpool’s arse obviously but to me that seems to be about how they've managed his minutes so far.

For me, Bruno and Trippier are locks. Both elite players that joined with the club at an incredibly low ebb, dragged us up the table in 21/22 then led the way in the seasons ahead. Both offered quality on the pitch and set the tone off it. The third spot is really tough. Burn is the emotive choice. Tonali in terms of just pure quality. Isak in terms of productivity then his sale helping our financial position going forwards. I think I'd go with Isak on the basis of both what he achieved while he was here but also what his sale may allow us to do in the next 12-24 months.

Absolutely. Previous Howe seasons we've had 8 (10th), 12 (8th), 12 (7th) and now 9 points (11th) after 7 games so considering all the disruption we faced this summer, it's not a bad start really.

I was getting proper agitated in the lead-up to the penalty, first it looked like he and Murphy were discussing who was going to take it (surely you work out your penalty takers beforehand??) then he did the little stuttering run up which I hate....and then he just thumped it into the top corner 😂

I've ended up in the Partner's Lounge and there's been a power cut so if you're not sat in the dark you're doing better than me, although our cutlery is 100% metal so swings and roundabouts...

One of the best bits of qualifying for the Champions League in it's current format is that you're guaranteed at least a couple of really big games. This format basically gives us 8 Europa-level games to earn the right (as if qualifying wasn't enough...) to play those games.

Exactly what a newly promoted team needs, the opportunity to get points on the board. So far they've played 19th, 18th, 14th, 5th, 16th, 17th and now Man Utd in 9th. Wolves are 20th as it stands so they'll have played the current bottom five in their first 8 games and only two in the top half.

He's always been streaky tbf 23 PL goals last season & 13 of them came in a run of 10 games. He got four in the 11 before that spell and six in the 13 games after it. 23/24 was similar - a run of 10 in 9 then 11 in the other 20.

Would have preferred that goal to have come after another 7-8mins added time but I'll take 90+6 👍🏻

I wouldn't be surprised to see either Burn LB or Thiaw RB on a fairly regular basis, possibly starting tomorrow edit - almost going back to the 4-5-1 out of possession, into 3-4-3 in possession

Ok then Captain Hindsight, you've got the £55m we spent on Wissa...go!

Done my own research and yes he came from FC Midtjylland (which I am pronouncing Mingeland)

Is it Mitjylland (or whatever...) the club we got our set piece guru from?

Can only assume they think it's hit his arm not his head? Mental decision. When I first saw it (before replays etc) I wondered whether maybe he'd managed to stamp on the defender making the challenge but it's clearly not that.

He can't have had a straight face when he said that
