Right but I thought you were saying it was significant point, which it isn’t. 

 

When you have 3 games in a week rotation feels pretty significant for me tbh. I felt like we got that wrong yesterday, I don't think we should be starting Joelinton and Bruno with a CL game on Tuesday.

I agree with the theory, I’m just saying he hasn’t had very many good young players to call on.

Just my personal opinion, but I think Miley is good enough now to be starting games when rotation is needed.

We’ve played the same style since he arrived tbf - it’s why we still struggle to break down any side likely to finish between 7-14th.  I don’t have an issue with it tbf - we’ve been successful with it - but the last creative technical footballer we bought was Bruno four years ago.

 

I don’t mean any of this as a criticism of Howe btw - Guardiola plays the same way he did a decade and a half ago.  I like the way we tend to play under Howe.  


You might be right that he’ll never change, and eventually that could become a real problem for me. I don’t think trying to outrun teams for 50-60 games a season will work anymore, even the worst teams in the league are really athletic at the moment. Right now I trust Howe to realise that and try to address it though.

We could really use a decent back up LB. If Murphy's not good enough, then we need to get a young hopeful who is. 

We currently have Tino and Trips capable of playing  there also. Its just unfortunate that 2 out of the first 4 choices for full back are injured. There's only so much cover you can prepare for.

Krafth love him or hate him never gets a look in when our fullbacks are lacking. 

Which is daft in my opinion he should be good enough to play as backup I'd have him in over burn at leftback. 

Or Krafth right and Trips left ?

Also in terms of Howe's job I consider him to be one of the very best in the league. He is as close to being Newcastle United as one man can be at this point for me. 

 

As long as you're happy you have the right man you stick with him through the good times and the bad. 

It'll be interesting over the next year or two as we hopefully get more depth and options how we evolve or do we rigidly stick with 433 and intensity.

:lol:

 

Yes he is now. But he’s one player and I thought you were making a general point about Howe not trusting young players.

Yeah I agree with that, bad luck in that regard. But it does feel like Alex Murphy isn't really up to it at this level so you have to question his future here.

I was, and I was using Miley as an example. I also included Anderson in my first post, so wasn't just one player.

I still think Howe and his system are likely to bring more success, and at this point the squad is moulded completely in Howe’s image.  Time is as usual needed for the new signings to bed in - and not all signings are going to work out. 

Do you not think Woltemade and Ramsey are a move away from that ?

He wasn’t an 8 at Milan, and he looked poor there for us because he was out of position.  He’s a defensive holding midfielder.  

 

Aye, the thing with Eddie and the way his team plays is we have number 6, but not a rigid one. 

 

The 6 has licence to roam, and it get us in trouble sometimes, like yesterday.  We are vulnerable to spaces between our lines.

 

It's always been there, not sure Eddie is going change now. And if I'm going to criticise Eddie that would be it, but we are where we've got to because of the system he loves.

 

Rough with the smooth i guess.

Not in terms of Ramsey, who I think is a Longstaff upgrade (with a Willock injury record) - but Woltemade is an interesting one, given he’s not a traditional centre forward by any stretch - but neither was Isak when we signed him.

Pretty sure you're wrong with this, but you say it with 100% confidence and certainty as usual, so...

Be interesting to see what he does when Wissa is fit. The current system doesn’t allow them both to play together, unless you move one of them wide.

 

Not sure either will want to become the bench warmer and Woltemade’s start makes it very difficult to drop him now.

 

The ideal scenario is Woltemade as a 10 which we just don’t play. I suspect if Elanga’s form continues we’ll see quite a bit of Wissa on the right.

History of his position at Milan here - and there is zero need for the snarky, bitchy personalised shite at the end.  I don’t think we’ve ever even had a discussion on here but there is an ignore option - suggest you use it if I irritate you.
