Don't think he belongs in this group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The only real gripe I had with the lineup was Murphy in there ahead of Barnes, but then he started well and ultimately provided a really good assist. Do feel like we need to get Barnes in there though. I think he probably knows Pope is better than Dubravka so I assume there's good reason for why he went with Dubs.

Don't think he belongs in this group. I don't care really, he is terrible in general play and it causes too many problems over the course of the game. We don't have the luxury of just carrying him, until he is in position to put in a first time cross for an assist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Howe needs to learn to be confident and deliver under pressure. To end the season without Europe from where we were is shite.

Geogaddi Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Still have 100% faith in Eddie but he needs to be ruthless in the summer , is a good 5 or 6 of them that started tonight that should either be sold or be nowhere near our starting 11 next season .

Murphy does have good moments in him, his delivery can be excellent, but I find all other attributes of his game are so variable that they can really hinder us in general play. He's not canny with the ball, it's a bit all or nothing depending on his one trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ruthless thing thrown around is ridiculous tbh. You can’t be ruthless if no one wants your players, and FFP restrictions mean you can’t spend much.

Either way he does have his favourites that always seem to play no matter what and even when they aren't very good . It won't happen obviously but I would go as far as saying that only Isak, Bruno , Gordon and Hall of the players that started tonight should be getting regular game time for us next season .

Donut Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I don't understand why some of you get so rattled when it's pointed out that he might be under some pressure right now and heading into the next season. He's not your dad you know? He's had a tough and difficult season having to deal with so many injuries and the Tonali situation and has done reasonably well all things considered. There's been some amazing games and there's been some abysmal ones. It is what it is. The business is absolutely ruthless. Just look at other clubs in the country. I'm certain if we can keep injuries at bay and shift some of the deadwood in the squad, he will have a truly excellent season again. Time will tell.

johnny36 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Murphy has a good delivery in him but hes too weak.. Loses any 50/50 that he contests or is afraid to contest..Maybe its harsh but we cant afford passengers if our journey is to go to the very top, let alone 4 passengers each lineup Edited May 15 by johnny36 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I’m assuming Pope musn’t be ready to return. Wouldn’t bother putting him on bench if so, i’d rather see Karius in goal than Dubravka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that unpleasant (as for anyone else) you're more than welcome to put me on ignore. After all you're just a person on a message board who I'll nearly certainly never meet face to face. I'm not some whistleblower, all I'm saying is that in my opinion he will be under massive pressure and then what happens is that some spit their dummies out instead of actually trying to give their opinion on why they think that is not the case. It was the same with Rafa also when he was manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhSholaAmeobi Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 If we finish 8th then serious questions need to be raised about him tactically. Definitely mitigating circumstances this season but I have big doubts about this uber-press style and it's ability to win big games and sustain throughout a season going forward. We have very little control in games. If he starts next season poorly i'd be looking at Hoeness or Fonseca come November time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 the Pope thing is weird, like. I think he should explain it. If it's unsafe for him to be in goal then surely he shouldn't be on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
