The College Dropout Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 8 minutes ago, Jaqen said: 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. Aye but Barnes is quick. Tonali is more technical than anyone except Bruno but his physicality marks him out imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else feel like this? Of course not you madman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 You definitely expect him to do better if you believe he is the one to lead us to winning trophies. There are tons of questions on the table but I hope a win against Man City would wipe them all away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Rough night for us, we didn’t look at the races tonight and played somewhat in to Chelsea’s hands. Impossible game coming up as well, fortune really has been against us this season nothing much has gone our way at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) He's got enough credit in the bank to get at least the first dozen games next season, but if we're mid-table then I think he could be peddled. Edited March 12 by Beth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I didn't see the unedited one I'm intrigued now Didn't really see the match. Sounds/looked like things carried on as they have been. I'm truly shocked that the additional rest and training time has seen us become less coordinated. I really didn't expect that, and am not sure what to make of it.

GideonShandy Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Eddie performed an absolute managerial miracle in the 2021-22 season by getting us from 19th place and odds-on relegation to mid-table safety. He performed an even bigger miracle in 2022-23 in getting us to the Champions League and a cup final. That people are seriously talking about getting rid of him because he hasn't performed yet another miracle this season is absolutely batshit crazy.

KingArthur Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 6 hours ago, The College Dropout said: Longstaff and Almiron have had contract extensions since Howe arrived. If he prioritised technical he wouldn’t have bought Tonali or Barnes. Tbh Tonali is athletic and technical. We also have had to keep players like Almiron or Longstaff. We do not have the FFP room to replace them, and cannot let them leave for free. At least one of these will be gone come summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Lacking confidence Knackered Riddled by unprecedented amounts of injuries Bad luck Key players out of form / dropping clangers Poor tactics and game management Weaker players getting too much game time Rare glimpses of our brilliance from last season Awful cup draws Too many wasters still on the books Financially hamstrung It’s been a mediocre season and we deserve to be where we are in the league If this was last season we’d probably be fairly happy with mid table and a couple of cup 1/4 finals but it isn’t 2023 and the bar is now set much higher We need to see a return to 2023 performances toot suite, Eddie needs to dig himself out of the mud that we’re currently mired in.

Sibierski Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 How about a reijig with the coaching set up that’s around Howe? Obviously Howe has final say on that so it’s down to him, but some different voices and input on the training pitch may be needed. See it often with the top managers, they refresh things around them so they’re challenged, see things differently. Maybe Howe is stuck into a mindset because no-one is offering alternatives.

And I really hope he does I think a lot of people now, with the benefit of hindsight, will reflect on a disastrous summer window as a huge problem. Lots of unforeseen circumstances but it’s turned into a horror show in the present, albeit may pay off in the future. However for 23/24 it’s been a shitter.
