I don't see the controversy in stating the obvious - Howe is not an infallible manager, nor some all-knowing oracle. He's allowed to get things wrong. In hindsight, it seems beyond reproach that they could've gotten the ball rolling with Lewis ~6 months earlier, even if that just meant subbing the lad on at 60 mins when we're up a couple goals or blowing out the opposition (think Sheff United in the fall) The top managers in the world make mistakes (all of the time). Hell... Pep just sold Cole for a pittance for goodness sake. But no one thinks that calls into question his overall competence as a manager.

Caught word from an ITK Dan has started a new lego set - he hopes to finish it by next weekend

He'll start for us next season at LB and make his mark, book it!

Brilliant stuff td from the young lad - we'll need him no doubt next season

Absolutely formidable today thrilled for the lads - Hall's looked absolutely fantastic

I'd settle for not giving him 90 minutes every game

Hall's offered more in 20 minutes than Burn has in 90

Had wide open sights on goal and was looking to go down - easy no call

Longstaff an utter spectator

Thrilled for the lads. Europe in our hands now.

Might draw some ire, but this is for the best. Trips was shockingly poor on the defensive end for a good 3 months before his injury. Happy to keep on with the current squad and their momentum.

Personally no - Minteh is all upside based on what we've seen. Could easily see him fetching 40, 50, 60 million quid one day. Chance he flames out sure, but these are the risks we need to be taking as we try to overcome FFP imo

Don't see a world where he's not brought in next season - he'll be 20 by then and can immediately make an impact for us

Thought he played better than he's getting credit for. Quite tidy on the ball and thought he held his own against Iwobi.

Agreed on these points -- I think he'll do well to develop a bit more patience/composure on the ball. He's relentlessly positive, but you get the sense he'll see dividends with more experience as the game slows down for him and he learns to advance play with some more control.
