The Saudis are in it with us to win and dominate they don't do things half arsed or settle for 2nd best or an also ran. I genuinely think that if we finish 7th or 8th say and don't challenge really for either domestic cup Rumayan and the bosses will be disappointed A mate said to me after the game that he felt a tinge of sadness tonight as he thinks that will be Howes last game as a champions league manager as he thinks by the tike we are next in the competition we are likely to have someone else I neither agreed or disagreed with him but I could see his point in it

Weve seen him in 3 games now and being honest has anyone seen anything that gives you any semblance of hope that he can be able to make key saves or decisions that will ultimately make us win a game or prevent us losing one I see nothing in him i think hes probably one of the worst keepers in the division i certainly cant think of anyone worse maybe the kid at Luton or Foderingham but thats it

Exactly what Klopp said about Liverpool

9 goals in 3 games man. We have 3 absolutely shit keepers behind Pope all 3 need binning off end of the season. I said it after Spurs but if we are playing this guy for 6 months then we are going to concede a lot of goals and are going to lose games frequently. I truly cant see him keeping 6 clean sheets from now until the end of the season

That looks horrific from that angle hes ahead of the man and just has to tap it in with his right

You need more than that to be a player for an elite team, lets be brutally honest anyone can track back and make runs hes simply not good enough for where we want to be as a club. If Almiron is still starting games in the 24/25 season then something is wrong

I'm not saying we are going to lose im saying that any fan over 40 has been through all this kind of heartbreak before. Emotions are just raw tonight

Are we only allowed opinions if they fall in line with everyone else's then? That's not how an opinion works but fair enough I take your point on board Telling someone to delete their account because their opinion may differ from yours is not how a forum is meant to be

Delete my account because I have the absolute temerity to criticise Howes game management tonight That was terrible and naive tonight we had that game won and going to the last 16 to just throw it away like that is a disgrace really and anyone that thinks differently is naive too This was the Liverpool game all over again game was won but the changes and our approach once they scored fucked us. Once they scored we all could see what was coming

Very Very bad game management by Howe for me exactly like the Liverpool game He shows his naivety at times in these big games. This one's on him for me

We don't have a plan B that's his biggest weakness

In typical heartbreaking NUFC fashion the season is starting to unravel in 4 weeks we could be out of Europe, out of the Carabao, way off in the league and it all culminates with getting beat off the mackems We've seen this all before im sure we aren't allowed to have nice things and the club is cursed

Yep basic fucking defensive mistakes again 3 games in a row

Really poor game management again for me at 1-0 we looked comfortable, as soon as they scored we were never going to score again In this game and the games against Dortmund we've had chance after chance come and spurned. We simply are not clinical enough in front of goal at the top level They get 2 chances and score twice that's the difference

Defensively we've been utter shit the last 3 games wide open and mistake after mistake. You get punished for them kind of errors

Once they scored only 1 team was going to win, you simply can't miss that many chances at this level

Absolutely

Why would people move on Willock hes the best direct midfielder we have and when hes not in the team we miss him massively

Probably only KDB, Odegaard and Rice

To be the complete midfielder you need to be looking at 10 goals a season, hes grown massively at the club but lets be honest does he get into any other elite teams midfield, the answer is no and that is the level we are wanting to be at Ideally we upgrade him and relegate him to the bench/squad player to come on and kill games off in the midfield physically

Realistically so does Joelinton hes very physical in the midfield but his technical ability and goal threat leave a lot to be desired

Absolutely especially to close games out when leading take off a forward for an extra defender

if youre talking 3 loans from Saudi it has to be Laporte,Veiga,Mane

And the one the year before in the fog when O Brien scored the chip

Agree totally theres a reason Allison is ahead of him in the Brazil pecking order
