Rod Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I said similar today to the wife. Howe is a great motivator. The Bruce interview would have been how good the opposition were and we would have to get "stuck in" etc. Howe is a brilliant manager! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he's a hopeless goalkeeper. Why Southgate picks him is beyond belief. You see that assist today? Fantastic. I'd run Pope out there though. Maybe start Pickford against the USA.

I'd start him over T-Rex I think. edit: David Edgar was already on it. I would play him, but tbf to T-Rex, although there's a mistake in him at any time, he's just not done that with England, he's not let England down so far.

Rod Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 30 minutes ago, midds said: Best thing about today's performance and result was the fact that Howe was definitely more bullish about the game in the pre-match pressers. He talked about going out and treating them as equals, matching up to them and using them as a meter to judge where we are and how far we've come (paraphrasing obviously). He talked us up and said we'd have a go AND THEN FOLLOWED IT UP with that performance today. That's huge. It's all well and good being diplomatic before the game and being respectful but he made no changes to the team at all. Same players, same formation, fuck it, let's have a go and the team responded. He's a breath of fresh air, doesn't talk us down, doesn't show too much respect, doesn't come across as a meek little fucker before the game and is brave enough to have a go on the day too. Not just that but he's got enough nous to adapt it in-game too. We are absolutely pointing in the right direction under Howe, he's got it, he's proving it each week. 11 minutes ago, Geordie Ahmed said: He's been good for England and his distribution is very good, it makes sense why he keeps getting picked 1 minute ago, McDog said: You see that assist today?

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Came in here thinking it'd be unanimous praise for the manager but weirdly there's discussion about a third-choice blow-dried sack of shite keeper incapable of defending his near post.

Stottie Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Well played to the players, but Eddie is the key man, I reckon. For training them, improving them, and organizing them. What was that stat that flashed up after they scored? Man CIty's record when scoring first since 2021(?) under Pep, P31 W30 D1 L0. We came close to winning this match.
