Been a solid CL campaign. Get something out of the PSG game and we have done brilliant :clap:

 

 

 

Barca aside the three home games have all been very comfortable. Annoying that had we not fucked that equaliser in Germany we’d probably be through without play offs, ah well.

Feel like the absolute shit show of the summer isn't talked about anywhere near enough.

Eddie likes to bed his new players in and work in a system. We had literally no pre season with our current squad, and he had to chuck Woltemade straight in. Ratboy fucked so much more than just leaving, he literally ruined our entire preparation for the season.

Plaudits where they're due, Howe has taken a lot of flack recently, some of it deserved, but everything clicked tonight and he deserves as much praise as ire he's been getting. This has been a strong CL campaign by us in only his 2nd ever attempt and he has to take credit for that.

He deserves huge credit. Our first CL campaign wasn’t exactly straight forward either, very hard draw and then our injuries were shocking too.

 

Other than Barcelona we haven’t looked second best against anyone this time. No reason we cannot progress quite far.

Quiet in here tonight.. after the wolves game there were 7 new pages in this thread within an hour after FT.

 

This is the most annoying part. At least the "happy clappers" are here rain or shine, other than sometimes needing a sanity break. 

 

We should probably be spending more time debating what he needs to do to guarantee a statue instead of whether he's the right man for the job, but for some reason there's a group of people only interested in the latter.

Every manager has to deal with problems, whether that's in the summer window, winter window, international breaks or just a random Thursday in February.

 

It's not much of an excuse to just say the summer was turbulent or that our preparation was ruined by one single player. Having said all that I do think Howe has dealt with it as well as he could have done. It's not all entirely on him as to whether we sign players or not and I'd suspect he has less say than we all think he does.

I feel he has slightly made a rod for his own back by over performing so much since he got here.

 

Now, even when there's a brilliant, crushing performance in the champions league it just seems like somehow it's expected, or maybe it's  just that there are no new superlatives to throw his way.

 

Got it spot on yesterday, the players all seemed bang up for it too. Delighted for him, don't believe there is anyone out there who would do a better job.

Agree. Personally I have been disappointed with our PL campaign, think it has been less than what I expected. Our football has been disjointed, we aren't playing with anything like the same fluidity as we have in previous seasons, but there has been a lot of disrupting factors, and I think the biggest was probably losing Wissa immediately after losing Isak. That's a pretty big hurdle chucked in our way so to still be in there with a shout of qualifying for CL is not too bad. 

 

The season could still go either way, but we are still fighting on most fronts and that's decent all things considered.

No bump today, lads?? Lads???

Wait until we have a few bad results against the best teams in the league and cups away from home during February, this thread will be nauseating.
