I still cannot believe we kept fucking playing Burn at LB when we had Lewis Hall there - what a fucking player he has been since he had to start playing him.

We weren’t bad. Had our chances.  Lacked a bit of quality and luck in crucial moments. 

We had chances, we where also bad.

Hall himself has admitted he was struggling in training for a while after joining.

Defensively away from home we must be down with the relegation fodder stats wise. Much work to do in summer where fucking dreadful at the back and the sooner he realises a number 6 would be beneficial away from home the better.


We have the 15th best away form in the league this season, picking up 3 points more than Burnley on the road.

 

4th best home form.

The big calls tonight for me were Joelinton and Pope and you're ultimately defined by the result regardless of which decision you make. Pope especially should have been a no-brainer if he's fit.

I don’t think we played badly at all tonight. Just shit defending for first goal + woeful goalkeeping all game + missed chances + dodgy VAR.
 

My only criticism of Howe tonight is that Dubravka wasn’t hauled, the absolute fraud.

I think he’s under massive pressure right now. Getting Europe after all the injuries this season would have been impressive but to be in the driving seat with 3 games to go and to pick up 1 point from 6 against two teams we can and maybe should beat, it’s going to raise questions.

 

They will stick with him but there’ll be a magnifying glass on him from the start of next season now.

I don’t think Joelinton is fit enough to start a game like. Agree on Pope though.

While our away form across the season is a cause for concern, I don't think he did loads wrong tonight. Fine margins at both ends of the pitch cost us.

 

Ultimately though, for a number of reasons both in and out of Howe's control, we've been too soft on the road for a top six finish.

Did wonder how long it would take for the usual to get horny on main for ruthless daddy Yassir.

 

He's under no pressure, everyone with a brain cell is massively impressed with how well he's done given the hand dealt this season 


And here are the sheep

We had three games to get into europa league sitting in pole position. And he still played our weaker players when we have our best back. Subbed isak against brighton when a win would of took the pressure of us tonight. 


True, mind. Love Eddie, happy for him to him to be in charge next season but he’s got it massively wrong last 2 games and pretty much all season away from home - 17 points from 18 games! He’s not ruthless or clever enough in fixtures like this and he has to improve. Sincerely hope he does.

? No there won’t man… if you believe that you clearly haven’t been paying attention to how Amanda and co want to run this club. It’s all (quite rightly) about stability and growing together.

 

Theres is literally no other manager out there that I’d have instead of Howe… I just can’t see any logical feasible argument for him being under any pressure at all really.

Say no more that’s pitiful and has cost us massively.

You don't have any say in his position going forward, thankfully.

Think he/we need to sign players that allow us to play and win matches in different ways, especially away from home. We doubled down on the high intensity, pressing style that got us success last season in the summer. Tonali would've aided with this and will next season, but we largely have only one way of playing and don't alter it too much (think the only time we only really did was against Spurs (H) which we hugely benefitted from). Away from home we don't and he needs to improve in that regard to regularly be alongside and compete with the elite sides.
