Doctor Zaius Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Absolute credit to him tonight. From the way we set up and started. For me though, it's that Livramento sub and a switch to a back 5. Totally nullified them when they were on top. Not sure I can remember him changing a back four to a five when we're ahead. Something I'm assuming we've worked on in training. Great stuff from Howe.

That one substitution killed the game off. There were a couple of tired players (Murphy for example) but they were still playing the system well and we saw in the 97th minute when Murphy got back to help win a goal-kick that he knew exactly what we needed there.

I was think more for keeping the best players fresh for the weekend, Howe should have faith in his bench and they should be able to slot into the system. Anyway I'm going to stop twisting now cos I'm over the moon with that result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Best away win under him, that. Probably for some time in general given the context of the season, the away form, Villa's home form, what happened at Villa Park last season et al. Brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) He's had Emery's number this season. From giving fuck all away in the pre-season game in the USA where he played a random system so they had nowt to go from on the opening day, through to bringing Barnes and Wilson on to finish them off that day, to that substitution killing the game off today. Fair fucking play. Edited January 30 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he came here he managed to correct just about every wrong that’s happened under his watch. The only one he hasn’t is Liverpool/Klopp, and tbh he kinda did in the game at the start of the season until the mental last 10 mins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Was interesting that we pressed with the two 8s tonight rather than Bruno being the main presser in midfield. Felt more like last season. He got it spot on. The Livramento sub was the right one but I wish he’d made it before Villa scored, because it felt absolutely inevitable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Masterclass from Howe tonight. Fixed the Bailey issue by going five at the back - it was more experience than what was happening in front of me that made me a bit nervous after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where it’s due but he has had ample opportunity to do that in other games and hasn’t. The no plan B comments have been spot on to-date but hopefully this is a sign that he’s learnt some new tricks. It was a class tactical move! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
