Because I completely agree - suspect it was just him straight-batting questions because he doesn't feel any value in a public inquisition, when he's got a group of players that will probably be feeling a bit bruised. He probably will be himself. Expand Exactly. I reckon of all people Howe is probably feeling most frustrated and disappointed, dare I say it, fans included.

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 On 02/09/2023 at 19:38, Smal said: Not really. Teams can analyse you and work you out. Both City and Brighton relentlessly exploited the half spaces between our midfield and defence. You need flexibility to counter that and we don’t have a specialist 6 in the entire squad. Expand A specialist 6 isn't going to stop multiple players tucking in though. E.g. City, Bruno already had a man marked but Foden ran off Joelinton. We'd effectively have needed 2 DMs there not just one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave s Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Some under par performances against some of the top teams in the league. Let’s see how we fair from here after the break.

Interpolic Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Under Howe we've never been through a rough patch without coming out of it looking better than before it. People were saying CL was over when we'd dropped off to 5th or 6th last season. No idea why some are always in such a rush to tell everyone we're doomed.

Expand Agree, people are going on like Brighton are some super team of massive stars, but they are anything but. It's one thing to be passed off the park by Man City, but when a team which has been selling off it's best players is taking you apart then it's fair to ask questions about our own tactical set up.

Wilson Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 He desperately needs to pick them back up now. Shocking display mentally and physically today which I'm not used to.
