ilikenewcastle Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Sanctimonious Man U fans are the worst. Really hoping they lose a game soon and fall apart, I don't think their place in the top 4 is as guaranteed as some people make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likelylad Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Living in Manchester and having mates who are Man U fans. That 0-0 has really stuck in their craw. They can’t let it go. Fucking hilarious tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 As others have said, we might see a potential relaxing of the rigidity, possibly enforced by injuries and the personal available. But perhaps (in home games atleast) it maybe rewarding to play more attacking line ups and trust our back 5 to still keep things tight like they have all season. Especially those home games against sides we are now "expected to beat". Yes it may mean our amazing clean sheets record this season is in danger, but we would be far more likely to outscore the opposition and avoid those frustrating 0:0s. We shall see in the coming games. As mentioned, we are short on Cm's currently so likely enforced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillDanceForChocolate Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Thought I'd pop by as you lot must be absolutely loving Howe right about now. It was never in doubt, in my mind. It isn't just the way he manages a team though, is it? It's the way he communicates his message to the fans. Fingers crossed from me you can pick up some silverware and carry on bloodying noses in the league. Also, I saw a headline that said Fraser was transfer listed. Nice one Eddie! He didn't forget after all. Perhaps there's a nice club in Siberia in need of a player on loan? Pretty sure they prefer them quite left wing up there but don't let that stop the move from happening.

Did Eddie fall out with Fraser at Bournemouth? Firstly Howe doesn't seem the type to fall out with a player longer than a training session and secondly, "wee man" even though he hasn't featured has seemed to be quite happy being part of our squad, and Eddie seems happy to have him too. I'm sure I've seen an interview where Howe says anything that happened at Bournemouth was sorted out not long afterwards. Just never seen what actually happened.

GeordieDazzler Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Frasers interviews last season makes me think there’s no animosity there any more. He was almost gushing in his praise of Eddie. Frasers always done an okay job since Howe has been here but has just been kept out by players in incredible form this season. He knows the squad is only going to get better too and think he wants to go elsewhere to play rather than any falling out with EH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've seen an interview where Howe says anything that happened at Bournemouth was sorted out not long afterwards. Just never seen what actually happened. We had an injury crisis, especially with wide players, but Fraser was running his contract down and we could all see from the sidelines he wasn't trying. Didn't want to risk an injury, didn't want to put in 100%. However, due to the injury problems Howe was forced to play him. Later in the season Fraser came out and admitted in an interview he hadn't been trying but promised he would from then on. Shortly afterwards there was the Covid break and Fraser refused to extend his contract for a month to try and help us out of the mire. I can have a certain amount of sympathy with the contract bit, but when you're visibly not trying on the pitch and letting your team get dragged into a relegation battle then you can do one. He then had the gall to come out after the season was over and say "I could have kept them up". Could you Ryan? Why didn't you then? Not sure on the swearing policy here so I'll leave it there. Maybe Howe did sort it out with him but I can promise you it hasn't been forgotten down south. We may not be the scariest place to visit in the world but I wouldn't want to be him on an away trip there as I think it'll be pretty hostile. Oh, and Eddie does fall out with players sometimes. If they don't toe the line. For example, we bought Tomlin from Middlesbrough just after we came up. The story is he turned up overweight and wasn't prepared to put in the work to get into what Howe considered good shape. Never really got a look in and was moved on quickly. If you buy into what he's selling then Howe willhave all the time in the world for you. Go up against him and he's ruthless.

Scotty66 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Yeah that's pretty shitty. He's never really hit it off here even under Bruce, Ritchie has been a good servant and was fantastic in the championship. It certainly won't be long before both of them leave now though.

54 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 After half a season (19 games) last year, we'd only won one game, this season we've only lost one. Weirdly, we have the exact same amount of draws (8). We had -23 goal difference at this point last season, and have +22 goal difference this year.
