We survived with sheer luck two seasons ago, loads of late goals from defenders, then last season we looked doomed until Willock arrived and started scoring for fun. This season we had 3 points from 7 games and the park the bus tactics had been rumbled. There's no way we were surviving playing that way either. Expand Agreed but don't forget they were coached by an utter buffoon. They all looked competent under Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make any sense to do that, especially this early. People did the same with Rafa though so if they did it to him they're definitely gonna do it to Howe. Expand Are you Kid Icarus btw?

It’s glaringly obvious you can get more from this group. Expand That was 3 years ago. Would they be better defending for their lives?

Guest Biggsbond14 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Baffling to take murphy off and can’t see any reason at all to put Ritchie anywhere near the pitch he is dog shit , Almirón did absolutely nothing but make him self dizzy and asm is a over hyped show pony with zero intelligence, add a new keeper for next season too too many errors slipping in now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcher Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I really don't want to, but I can see myself losing faith in him if we fail to beat Watford. We've had a lot of winnable games during his short tenure and we've still only won once. It's not been good enough. He can't keep losing games.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I don’t want him sacked like, but the insinuation of an ‘overreaction’ from fans to the result seems odd. It’s a shocking day for the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is nice bloke and says good things, but can’t help thinking what these results had been with Emery. Expand Bruce had this team winless and on trajectory to be comfortably one of the worst premier league teams of all time. That's what Howe inherited, not the team that finished last season.
