54 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Personally starting to think if the players are phoning it in, and arn't caring due to all the noise in the transfer market. These seem like the bunch that instead of going "I'm going to make myself undroppable, fuck these new guys" they're going "We'll im getting replaced anyway so what do I care".

Saying it's the squad only this result is making excuses for him today. We looked very predictable for most of that match. Way to early to say you’re concerned. The guy is trying to turn 2.5 years of Bruce around and has shown good signs so far. Edited January 8, 2022 by Thomson Mouse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I like him, and that's not going to change while he's forced to play this bunch of losers, but it was a dumb idea to start with such a strong team, if only because they aren't that strong anyway. And why on earth didn't he use Anderson in a team that can't shoot for shit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He put out a team of premier league players and they lost. Simple as that. Embarrassing loss and everyone needs to hang their hand for that. But the next PL match matters more. Hopefully we’re days away from bringing in more and more starting quality players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I don’t get why he waited until we went 1-0 down to change anything. Should’ve done so at half time, we weren’t exactly playing scintillating football. He’s still trying to put square pegs in round holes and is playing players in positions and tactics they’re unable to fulfil. Said that for weeks and he’s persisting with it. We need five or six players to suit his style (in addition to Trippier), or he needs to adjust the way we play to suit the players he has, otherwise we’ll end up with shit like this regularly.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The plus point was how good Trippier looked compared to the rest of them. If it’s true that we are looking at around 6 new players and if they are of a similar calibre to Trippier, then that would be a huge boost for the second half of the season. Only make a couple of signings though and we will be in trouble, as the current team/squad as a whole are all shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be concerned under any manager if you just lost at home in the cup fielding a full-strength team against a bottom-half league one side. Howe’s not a special case.

Guest HTT II Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’m still behind him, but today was very worrying, one of the worst performances I’ve seen in person at SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He's also playing players who clearly want to be off/know they're not wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon_Geordie Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I think he's a smart guy. His comments this week about not upsetting the squad and around wages, makes you wonder if he's already aware of how 'delicate' this bunch we have are. The core group have been here for 6-7 years thriving and hiding within the mediocrity that we all knew. A nice cushy number, making great money, doing very little. average players making above average money - win, win! It's going to be difficult to strike a balance after today. Even the interview from Hayden suggests there is a attitude within the camp of complacency. The new regime and that attitude don't mix. So it's time etc shape up or fuck off! I'd get them all in tomorrow. Make Tripper Captain and ask each player, who wants to fight or who wants a taxi. If they want out, let's replace them in the 3 weeks or start giving the kids a game. I'd even be tempted to tell them, they wont be let go but will stay with the reserves for their contract duration. Fuck the cowards!

Rod Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Yes this was an awful embarrassing result but can everyone calm down a little. We hammered them actually and Callum Wilson would have had a hat trick today. We do have some awful players mind. Write this off and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
