I was sat thinking 'easy collection for Pope', then all of a sudden sat wondering what the fuck had just happened. are we certain he didn't get a shout? it looked like keepers all day long. I thought there must have been one and that's why Tripps was so frustrated with himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he wants to keep a winning or unbeaten team but I don't see the milage of that when players are hanging. The small pool of quality squad doesn't help, especially when you throw all your eggs in one basket and he's then out for weeks/months (twice that's happened now) but we've got to get fresh legs and minds into the team quicker than we do. Our fullbacks are both liabilities at present and one of them, their quality cannot be questioned, therfore it's got to be fatigue. God help us if we qualify for Europe. It’s going to demand a different approach from Eddie next season if we can get a Europe spot, which would be a disappointment at this stage if we didn’t make. Will be great to see Eddie having to adapt to the new challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll never know but I'd assume Pope would have called it, or tbh you'd think Trippier would have been aware Pope was there anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Definitely looked like Popes ball to me and he must surely have called it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magvicar Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Pope may have said leave it but in the heat of the moment Trippier has a split second choice to make. Had he not slipped and actually cleared it we'd all be lauding him. It's a finicky old game and one fine line can be the difference between outstanding and frustration.

TRon Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Looked like Trips was just making sure regardless of any call by wellying it clear, but he slipped while doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magvicar Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I thought Eddie Howe got it fairly ok with the subs. A bit of experience in Ritchie coupled with a fired up Miggy and a misfiring Wilson getting a chance to go up against tiring players. Wilson wasn't anything to write home about for his time on the pitch but he had to replace Isak who was tiring after all the hard work he'd put in considering he's hardly had any real game time for a good while. It's too easy for us as fans to be over critical and expectant considering the team/squad have been over-performing and we can all turn into managers but we all know it takes a lot more than words from us to solve squad issues and rotations and so on. I'd give Eddie Howe a nice 8/10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Isak scored a good header at the weekend didn't he, just wondering if you show him videos of Les Ferdinand in training?" Of course he doesn't, you div, now put your thumb back in.

TRon Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 The real genius of Howe is that if there's a sliver of talent in a player he is going to unearth it, assuming that player actually wants it enough. Just look at what he's done with Almiron. Got him making far more aggressive moves for goal pre-season, which he carried on into the first half of the campaign. As soon as he dropped a touch, on the bench, then he came on with fire in his belly to score the winner last week. Willock has been transformed from a half arsed moocher, into a box to box machine selling dummies and back heels and hunting down defenders in the press. Even Murphy looks like he's playing with some purpose now, and if there's an ounce of desire to reach his potential, Howe will find it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's in them, Howe will find it, if he wastes good time and money looking for it, and sees it's definitely not in them, he doesn't wanna be sued 'cos they haven't got it, so, you know, not gonna get him on that.
