How are the Spanish and the Italian media even more shameless than the English media? That's impressive.

Some interesting #data here:

We are absolutely fantastic when we are ahead. Literally better than Man City. 

 

We are down there with the relegation teams when we are behind.

Find that surprising given the leads squandered against Liverpool, Forest, Luton (twice) and Man City. Milan and Chelsea in cup comps too.

it's weighted 70% to xG and 30% to actual goals, so things like the Liverpool 1-2 where those goals were pretty much their only efforts (they only registered 0.67xg in that game :anguish:) won't register as much as the might have if it were just weighted on actual goals. 

 

Outlier games like Sheff Utd away where we generated 4.75xg and Liverpool away where they generated 6.14xG will exaggerate things too.

Out of the current crop of PL managers, where does wor Eddie rank in most likeable stakes?

 

Got to be near the top, right?

 

Wouldn't be too sure.

 

Going off social media (yes, I know) most other fans think he's a smug twat and eventual England manager.

Eddie's quite reserved and politic in interviews. I wouldn't say in front of the cameras he necessarily comes across as the kind of guy you'd want to hang out and eat wotsits with like De Zerbi, or go out, get bladdered and chin people with like Dyche, or go out and take some pills and rave to techno all night with like Ten Hag.

Got tonight as wrong as he got the Spurs game right. It's not great that we never look like coming back from behind this season.

If this is what ten days of his training and coaching produces we may as well send the lads on a week long all inclusive to Ibiza next time we get a fixture gap.

 

Not sure what he was trying to do tonight and yet again didn't change a clearly shit performance until we went behind. He should have changed it at half time and chose to serve up more of the same below par shite.

 

Thankfully, we've another game quickly and on paper it's our most winnable game of the season. Needs to get it right on Saturday and win because we can't rely on the other teams to get beat again. Tonight will be forgotten quickly if we win on Saturday and that's just as well, frankly, because it was absolutely shite.

Got it wrong tonight. Not helped by some cowardly performances. 
 

I know it’s very basic analysis. But the amount of times they were flying into challenges and we pretty much pulled out. The shithousing from them. They genuinely seemed a yard quicker to every loose ball.
 

That was us last season. But our tactics seemed well off. As did the effort from most of the players.

You say that like we don't normally go on an absolute tear after most breaks we have :lol:

Who wants Thursday and Sunday football next season, it’s a right fucking pain in the arse.

 

Would love that pain in the arse, bare minimum it gets Howe some more experience in Europe!

Think it was obvious within 30 mins the tactics were a bad matchup for palace today. Waited until 60th to make a change. Kudos to palace, they played with a ton of energy. Brave as well leaving only 3 men back most of the match. I think we tried too hard to go route one and there was no outlet ball when we won possession back so it was easy for palace to win it off us. 
 

Few of our players didn’t look up for it as much as they usually are. 
 

Only knock on Eddie today is seeing how overrun we were for 60 mins and only reacting to it when we were 1-0 down. I’m not a fan of first half tactical changes but if it’s that clear you have to change something.
