If the Burn thing is about loyalty then Howe needs to learn fast that loyalty only gets you so far in football. There's going to be a lot of moving parts within our squad in the coming years and he is going to need to be more cut throat dropping players who have played big roles for him.

says the resident dipshit

 

I just think that he is making a massive mistake sticking with Burn and venting my frustration. So is your little outburst disagreeing with that?

I'd not be devastated if he replaced Southgate if I'm honest. Last season was a 9/10 performance. This year is closer to 5/10.

Good for financial fair play if the football association buys him out of the contract.

Fucking hell. 

 

He's been a great unifying spirit for the club and taken us miles from where he found us. And I'm not desperate for him to go - he's not a Pardew - but I am increasingly disappointed by him this season. To the point that if he's poached by England... I'd not be crestfallen.

 

That's just my feeling.

 

There could be better people out there for NUFC for where we want to go. Don't think that's madly controversial.

Livramento must wonder what the fuck he has to do to start a game.

 

Burn can only be in for his height, in every other respect he's a worse player than Livramento.

 

So the answer is "be taller than Dan Burn", which is fairly tricky.

 

I'd be fucking livid if I was in Livramento's position and I was being blocked from playing simply because I wasn't tall enough. Normally at least you can ask the manager what you can work on, but "grow 12 inches" feels somewhat unachievable. Especially for a position that doesn't normally need height.

Livermento out for the next 8 months due to leg transplants! ?

I'm sure played Burn to to get him back in the saddle and restore his confidence. Unfortunately, Burn remains dismounted and looks shot against any pace.  Wilson looks shot too but there's no choice.

It’s still half time, but this shows our previous bad form has nothing to do with fatigue. Injuries and suspensions definitely played a major role, but there is another factor that caused our form to drop compared to last season, other teams have learned how we played last season, and they have found ways to beat us through bypassing our flat and high-pressing midfield and targeting our slow fullback. 
 

Last season, we took the league by surprise, no body expected us to be a top 4 team. Teams now have watched us play well, and they have analyzed our style and found effective ways to beat us. Howe has to learn how to counter that.

I feel like you are not factoring in so many things to arrive to this conclusion. But if that’s your opinion still, then fair enough.
 

Some of his decision making has been questionable, of course. But no manager is perfect. 
 

I still feel he is 100% the right man for us at this current time and that he should get another transfer window and a crack at next season with players returning. Unless of course the wheels properly come off between now and May.
 

I’d be gutted if we lost him and I don’t see who is going to come in, in the here and now and do a better job. 
 

I think almost suggesting you’d sort of Partridge shrug :lol: if he were to leave is fairly controversial.

Apart from publicly available info and what I read you saying a little while back about being itk regarding Howe's responsibility for overworking our players earlier in the season, are there any other reasons for you cooling off on him? I'm interested.

Is he auditioning for the England job?

Southgate is getting giving a new contract apparently. I guess the FA will consider it a success so long as we get to the quarter finals, so therefor he’ll take us into the 2026 World Cup.

4 consecutive away wins for the first time since 2016.

 

My gaffa.

 

 We somehow didn't manage that last season when we were one of the best teams in the league away ? :lol:

Unbeaten in four, 4 wins in 6, into the 5th round of the FA Cup, with our only lose in that time to a De Bruyne masterclass. 

 

Not bad for a shit manager. ;)
