STM Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Not a criticism but in hindsight we should have played a low block and played on the counter. Very hard to get away with at SJP though. I actually think we looked knackered. Whether it was physical or mental, I dont know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bloke to take an absolute hammering on the chin and shrug his shoulders and go on about dust, unlike a few of our past managers. This is what gives me confidence. I started doubting his ability to turn it around after Brentford. Then we hit a 9 game winning streak after making a fair few tweaks. He will be fuming about how bad we looked and how we seemed incapable of beating their press or having any meaningful possession leading to chances.

Bournemouth pressed well and it disrupted our play. Hinted at the fact they were as good as we were bad. Didn't blame anyone, didn't blame the ref, but recognised we weren't good enough. Again respectful and classy as you'd expect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every team will be as successful at snuffing us out either, Iraola has been coaching this Bournemouth in that way of playing all season. I think normally we would punish teams who push that hard by hitting them on the break, but tbf, they were really well set up. The only way you beat that is with better quality players who can beat the press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 15 minutes ago, LiquidAK said: Like it's completely rational to be fucked off with that result and performance, but the desperation from some to catastrophise every time the team has a bad result is utterly tiresome. It's exhausting when we're having a normal run, it's especially embarrassing when we've just won 9 in a row and sit in 4th. It's just so transparent that some have been sat waiting for a slip so they can blow their misery loads. It's going to get called out because it's fucking laughable Spot on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an alternative other than slowly pass it about at the back until we lose it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd started well, it would have made Bournemouth more hesitant about pushing so far forward, but our passing was way off and they bullied Bruno off the ball. Tonali really showed his level today, that man doesn't get bullied by anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Prontonise Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My only criticism or critique of him would be he might of fallen into the trap of not changing a winning team despite the signs of fatigue etc being there. Remember when Rafa would rotate etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 10 players who weren't sharp from the start who were never allowed to regain any rhythm at any point during the game. Think it's as simple as that. Not really a Howe issue. Edited January 18 by Thumbheed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he changes a winning team and it goes tits up, he'd never hear the end of it. I think it's his only major blind spot, he's reactive in-game and it's glaring sometimes.

SUPERTOON Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 At this point, I don’t think he has much faith in any of his subs to either change, or see out a game. Barnes the only one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair, I think we needed changes at HT personally today such was the first half performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
