Nowt "honest" about that, obviously he's not ripping into the players and is trying to protect them etc (correctly so). Reality is going forwards we scored two wonder goals and barely tested the keeper otherwise all night or created any clear cut chances (Miggy's pot shot the only other half chance I can recall). It's not sustainable at all.

Agree it's really annoying/sometimes worrying when a manager says a performance was good when it was clearly shite - but I think have to think that's because he doesn't reckon slagging the team off when it's low on confidence is a good thing, rather than him really thinking it.

He does that a lot - there wasn't any good Mr Howe

I defend this man a lot and will always have huge respect and appreciation. I’m very worried about the inability to find a more intelligent way of playing. 

I am at a loss as to why we didn't sit back making our selves compact and hit them on the break.  Chelsea haven't the quality to break us down. But instead we were wide open.

He gets the summer window and the first part of next season for me, regardless of how this season ends he’s earnt that. I believe he will be more flexible with styles of play once we have more technical players. 
 

Currently we have a handful who are actually good at using a football, the rest are just athletes

The defensive record is worrying. And is a return to his biggest criticism when he got the job. We look a bit like his old Bournemouth sides.  Good for a goal.  And good to concede a fair amount  we don’t look like we know how to defend if we aren’t pressing. And we pressed poorly.

Howe is pushing the players way too hard. Injuries all over the place. 
Not sure how far he can take this team. FFP isn’t doing us any favours either.

These are his players. His style of play isn’t technical anyway.

Might be knee jerk but for the first time I want him to stay and feel like he deserves another season with all the injuries we have had, but I wouldn’t be too disheartened if he was to go. Anyone else feel like this?

Half of them were already here. 
 

Almiron, Longstaff, Murphy etc.

 

others were necessary buys at first I.e burn. 
 

he has signed trippier, tonali, Bruno who can all play. 
 

his style of play isn’t technical because it can’t be right now due to personnel.

Longstaff and Almiron have had contract extensions since Howe arrived. 
 

If he prioritised technical he wouldn’t have bought Tonali or Barnes.

Is Tonali not technical? He’s certainly more comfortable/skilful with a football than the majority of our squad from what I’ve seen so far.

No he is more comfortable with the ball but he's more aggression than technical

More technical than what we have excluding Bruno. But his physical profile is greater.

Let's be fair there isn't a lot of technical ability in our squad.

Think Tonali is a lot more technical than you give him credit for. And Barnes whole game is based around his finishing and technique, he's never been a grafter at all.

4W 2D 8L is the last 14 games is absolutely shocking like, 14 points from 14 games, relegation form over what is more than a third of a season.

 

I've said it a few times, but the season has felt like a write off to me since throughout December when we lost 5 out of 6 in the league, out of Europe completely, and the League Cup in the space of 4 weeks.

 

I just can't ever see us stringing 3 or 4 results together, I'm expecting us to lose most away games, and when we do, I'm just like 'ah well, next season'.
