Is Eddie still obsessed with Guehi....WHY????? If our targets are Elanga and Gheui this coming window it’ll be a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Doesn’t play with a holding midfielder, or a creative one, our midfield shape is all over the shop. When Staveley talked about not being able to afford any mistakes in the transfer market, he’s now feeling the brunt of it and worryingly seemed set to compound things further last summer. I think the appointment of Mitchell was timely and Eales was right he should concentrate on coaching the team. Always said a manger is only as good as his transfer business, the season Pardew finished 5th was testimony to that, Howe had a great 18 months but nobody really knows whether he’s reached his level at this point. He’s got some very good players at his disposal, but i think everyone bar Hall has regressed this season for various reasons. This was meant to be the season with no distractions where we pushed on again, it’s looking very underwhelming at the moment. Ultimately the best thing for everyone is that he turns this around and under Mitchell we become smarter operators in the transfer market, if he leaves knowing our luck he’ll end up at West Ham, or Everton and win a trophy and we’ll look like cunts again. If I had to call it though I think where in Howe’s last season and we’ll end up with somebody like Amorim in charge next season, the January transfer window will probably be a good indicator of where this is heading.

My question is what is Howe’s plan long term? To keep trying to play the same way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very stubborn. in games that are getting away from us you never see him play orthodox wingers miggy left gordon right to stretch there defence. When we need a goal he'd rather bring on a Longstaff or a defender instead of giving the forward a chance. Weird decisions in my opinion. 4 3 3 is athletics not football Maybe Eddies found his level and maybe its time to move on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GideonShandy Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 After 8 games people are seriously thinking that "maybe it's time to move on" from Eddie or that this should be his "last season"? The chances that any replacement manager willing to take the gig, however carefully chosen, would do a better job than Eddie are way less than 50/50.

Not saying I want it to happen because replacing him with better while keeping the squad onside would be a challenge, but there are undeniably far more accomplished managers out there. It will have to happen one day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 The team is underperforming and the buck stops with the man in charge. I hope he turns it around quickly because he's been one of our best ever managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two matches the opposition have basically stuck there whole team behind the ball and went break us down. That's why we've dominated these games, we still play the same way as the end of last season barely a press if any away from home. massive gaps for the opposition to get one on one with our centrebacks still over reliant on schar and bruno for any creativity and when gordon ain't firing we are innefective at scoring goals and supplying isak.

black_n_white Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 (edited) As said on numerous occasions - finish outside of the European spots again and he won’t be our manager next season. Fully hope this isn’t the case as I like Howe. We’ll come good again this season I’m sure of that. Edited October 22 by black_n_white Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I's not about one game though, we've scored something like 8 goals in 8 games, and gone 400 mins without scoring a goal from open play, and we've got tougher fixtures to come. There's too much built around Isak scoring, if you can stop him, and stop the LW from coming inside and having a pop, you've pretty much got yourself a clean sheet.

Didn’t we have a goal drought around Winter 23/24 season where we had lots of shots on but couldn’t score for toffee? Then it all clicked for us. I’m sure it will again.
