Weezertron Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Eddie is still the completely the guy. He could be doing more though. Think we’ll stay in this cycle (in the prem atleast) of performances until the end of the season. I’ve been hoping for things to click for what’s feels like 3 or 4 months now. It’s not coming. it won’t be an embarrassing season (league wise). Just kind of blah. Edited January 25 by Weezertron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 17 minutes ago, Wallsendmag said: Unfortunately he's brought in a whole load of players who are totally unsuited to the system he wants to play. Wissa been poor, but looks totally isolated anyway. Woltemade looks like he might be a decent enough number 10, but he won't play with one. Elanga appears to be happy playing in a counter attacking team where he'll have space ahead of him to utilise his pace, but we don't play like that. That's £180m on players who don't look suitable to how he wants us to play. It’s really baffling like. Presumably he was in a strong position to control our recruitment last summer, but seemingly has targeted players that aren’t plug-in-and play with our system. I actually think we were the team suited for Elanga’s style about 18 or so months back. Now teams let us have the ball and dig in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Think what would help him is some new faces in the coaching set up next season. You can be a great coach, but sometimes you are that close to the action, you can’t see what needs changing because previous ways worked so well. Some fresh voices and direction could get him thinking differently, and he can lead the new way. Been the same core set up since day one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say 86% of people on here (me inculded) are in agreement with you that Howe is still the best man for the job, so just relax and stop getting worked up about something that doesn't really exist.

He wanted Wissa early on and loads of clubs would have been happy with Woltemade. He’s far from shit and has been out of position in nearly every game he’s played. We just plough on with the system that suited Isak, a totally different player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work the ball wide and lump it in is the order of play. Absolutely nowt from central areas. Don't disagree but I think if you look back at a lot of games, we keep missing gilt-edged chances whether they're created through our own play or defensive lapses. We're not ruthless at all. It's true we don't create relentlessly though and I would hope that is one of several aspects of our play that needs looking at in the summer.
