Scotty66 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Simone, one of the best defensive managers on the planet. Eddie goes and sees him for a chat and then updates his own managerial blueprint. Just glorious and we are reaping the rewards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I think it's fair for people to question Howe's choices. I'd say we got a bit lucky today, for as well as we did in stifling Fulham we struggled to create much more than a few half chances and had Mitro not slipped and we'd gone on to not win we'd likely have half the forum ranting and raving about setting up too negatively in home games coming off the back of this and the Leeds game. Personally find it a bit frustrating that we're not starting ASM in home games like this. We don't look like creating much when teams sit back against us and he's capable of things nobody else in our team is. However, I do get it. Firstly, he may not be where Howe wants him in terms of fitness. Secondly, it's clear that Howe's priority is to stop teams from being able to have the ball as much as possible and making us incredibly solid. Win the ball in dangerous positions and take advantage. He's turned us into an incredibly formidable side doing it, we can have no complaints. It's obviously going to be frustrating, at times. Had we drawn 0-0 today for the second consecutive PL home game then of course it'd be frustrating that we're starting 3 CBs and 4 CMs and wondering why we can't score. However, the trade off is that we get to go into every game for the rest of the season knowing we're going to give everybody we face an absolute battle. We've lost one game all season for a reason and I'm at the point where I'll be absolutely shocked if we have a game this year where we lose 3-0 and just never look to be at the races. It's a worthwhile trade off, for me. Give it a couple of windows and we'll have a left winger who's as dangerous as ASM going forward but can press like a fucking maniac too. A CM who gets around the pitch as much as Longstaff but is absolutely top class with the ball as his feet. A LB who is defensively solid as fuck but can bomb on and turn into an attacker when needed. Then we'll win the fucking league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikenewcastle Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Sanctimonious Man U fans are the worst. Really hoping they lose a game soon and fall apart, I don't think their place in the top 4 is as guaranteed as some people make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 As others have said, we might see a potential relaxing of the rigidity, possibly enforced by injuries and the personal available. But perhaps (in home games atleast) it maybe rewarding to play more attacking line ups and trust our back 5 to still keep things tight like they have all season. Especially those home games against sides we are now "expected to beat". Yes it may mean our amazing clean sheets record this season is in danger, but we would be far more likely to outscore the opposition and avoid those frustrating 0:0s. We shall see in the coming games. As mentioned, we are short on Cm's currently so likely enforced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
