He's stinking the place out and is a clear weak link every week now. Get Barnes in on the left and Gordon on the right when fit until we get a replacement in the summer.

Think Tino needs to be starting tbh one of our best players during the recent poor form.

Gonna smash these.

Here here. In Eddie we trust, couldn't be prouder to have him as our manager.

Internet hard man ? merry Christmas anyway, ya misery.

Get a grip eh ?

What's negative? Odd comment.

See more from the likes of Schar or Botman tbh, his discipline is too poor to be a captain for me. I love him btw not a moan just don't think everyone is suited to be a captain, Joelinton would be similar for me.

Love him but don't think he has the correct mentality to be captain like.

Don't think that's the case mind. He's not immune to the sack but it's not something we need to worry about currently. He will turn things around and we'll look a different animal once we have our strongest team back.

Shite kick off time mind they really don't give a fuck do they.

Last 3 seasons, 13 goals, 11 goals, 13 goals the last being in a relegated team. He's a consistent premierleague performer and goal scorer. Almiron isn't in his league.

But the whole point of the post was with everyone fully fit. Barnes is a brilliant finisher, if he'd had the chances our wide men have had this season he'd be our top scorer.

No way should Almiron be getting in ahead of Barnes, Barnes left, Gordon right is 100% our best option if everyone's fit.

100% we could be looking at dropping down to 10th for the foreseeable if we don't win. Our January fixtures are difficult.

But we are losing to teams with a lot less quality than us now.

Aye they will.

The league cup wasn't a lesser important game though, it was a cup quater final one of if not the biggest game of the season. It wasn't the time and place to rotate or rest at all. Earlier in the competition Howe did rotate quite successfully, the rest of the campaign including the league the opportunity has been taking away from him through injury.

I love Eddie Howe.

This 100% behind him. If we have a full squad back and still see results and performances like this over a long period of time I'd be concerned. That's far from the case though. In Eddie we trust.

Doesn't make it less embarrassing for me.

Eh? it would be the most embarrassing result in our recent history.

Think that's a load of bollocks, out of Europe, outside the top 4 people have been more than reasonable and understanding on the whole. Minging performances against Bournemouth,Everton, Luton and the performances are called out.

Lose the derby and will be an awful cloud of negativity mind. Needing a win against Forest on boxing day for sure cos can't see Liverpool away going well.

I feel for Howe I think he done everything right over the summer really. We devolped a good identity and style of play last season- high intensity pressing which he knew would be hard to maintain with our extra games. He signed Barnes to give us 4 competing wide men and to add more goals to our side. Tonali so we weren't over reliant on Bruno and to allow us to retain possession more and two young full backs to allow us to rotate and keep us fresh for the press. He's lost the ability to do any of that mainly through freak injuries and suspension.
