I’ve seen plenty ask what Howe would have done HBA - I reckon HBA would’ve been out on his arse in a heartbeat. Remy would’ve absolutely thrived under Howe - he would’ve become one of the league’s most effective players in Howe’s 4-3-3 with Howe’s coaching alongside it.

Displayname Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Overall I thought it was a good game and that Eddie made the right decisions in taking off Tonali, Hall and Gordon. Hopefully this can be the start of a great run. I'm a lot more positive now, especially seeing all these players returning from injury. No one would be more happy than me if I'm proven wrong about being sceptical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maze Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Eddie is a great coach, but his stubborness is holding him back. Playing the same players, using the same tactics and style, will ultimately halt our progress. We can’t afford to miss on transfers, but we can’t expect to hit the jackpot every time either. To counteract this, I wished Eddie would loosen up, and adapt to what we got a bit more. After Staverly and Ashworth left, it’s gone slowly downwards (this is not on Eddie btw). I really miss the optimism, the great communication and interactions with the fans, the trangers rumours, the quick dealings, the signing out of nowhere, everything that made things buzzying the first few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Remy's my favourite Ashley-era striker. Not sure I could see him pressing though, whereas Ba and Wilson would. Honestly think it's Wijnaldum by a mile like. The epitome of a Howe midfielder and a really good and successful one at that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 IIRC Wijnaldum was relatively lazy and only performed in big games. But TBF I have tried to forget that whole era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Yeah he was the invisible man in away games. I'm classing this more like him at Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Only thing id be worried about is Howe fancying the challenge but everything suggests he'd stay here and we should fight tooth and nail to keep him here. Edited January 5 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both came in for massive criticism, and they had their flaws, but they were pretty comfortably the best players we had at the time, and that's how we got big money for them. The market usually trumps opinions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t keep a manager that wants out, it can tank the team far more than any grumpy player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Sissoko was a shitter and slightly fast version of Joelinton IMO. He had a horrible touch and his passing was awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Think it would have been interesting if we’d had Ivan Toney under Howe. I’d also have liked tiote in the current team and tried to turn Tonali into a goal scoring midfielder. More seriously I’d have loved Ben Arfa/Remy/Ba. Lejeune would have fitted in so nicely at his best with our current crop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I effing loved Ba, so he'd always be my first answer. My favourite striker since Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
