All the Eddie Howe out moogers have disappeared for a week or two. 

They will be looking forward to Saturday night in case we get knocked out the cup and will be back here in a flash.

Who?

[Sir Joel Inton]

I think because of the defence we need to out score the opposition as much as possible. We were fortunate last night imo that we came up against a truly terrible side.

 

Burn and Trippier were extremely vulnerable and exposed with the same difficulties in the last 3 games but as soon as Odobert went off, they gave virtually no threat.

 

Our options at the moment are to try and fix the defensive shape or outscore the opposition. Think we’ll see a lot more of the Leeds and Brentford game scores (either way) until we get Miley/Livramento back.

 

As for the striker situation, I still hold a vague hope both will come good but cannot blame him at all for dropping both as they’ve not been good enough.

 

We still have loads of issues to address but hopefully this gives us a bit of momentum to build upon. A win on Saturday would be a massive lift too but equally not the end of the world if we do go out as it’s tough opposition and will free up some fixtures

I've said this before, but the gloating from the pro-Eddie crowd whenever we get a good result is really painful to see. We had a good result, the team were miles better, we still looked really nervous and shaky in the last 20 minutes, but Eddie made a lot of good decisions and I'm really pleased for him. I'm not sure why people can't just enjoy a good result and instead want to score points over people with a different opinion to them. People can have different opinions and that's fine, I'm not sure what you want. Do you want people to be coming here and apologising for ever daring to have a different opinion to you? Or do you want people to be coming on here and continuing to be negative? I just don't understand the mentality. 

 

I've been very negative about Eddie this season, though I'm not Eddie out, but I thought he got a lot right yesterday though there's still clearly a mental fragility that needs to be worked on. Fingers crossed we can use this result to get some of that monkey off our back.

A bit of humility, patience, slack and loyalty would do tbh.

And how does that manifest on a thread about Eddie Howe the day after a good result? 

[Geogaddi]

3 points off 6th and a very winnable game to get us into the last 16 of champions league , I reckon 99% of us would have taken that in August .

It can't if it doesn't exist, which is the point - I think it should.

I am probably in the stage of not caring what the performance is like. As long as it’s 3 points it can take the pressure off from Howe and the players. You can see that after the final whistle.

 

Hope we can win the next few one and turn things around.

I personally think people who are overly negative about our current performances are people who cant deal maturely with negative emotions. Big teams have bad runs, results can be disappointing, what matters is perspective. Objectively, everyone across the world of football who doesn't have an emotional reaction to our results, would agree that Howe has done an incredible job and that dealing with challenges the club have faced has created some inevitable negative results on the pitch. They would also agree that the likelihood of him performing well in the future is very strong. Objectively the club look to be in transition but doing fine. The negative press comes from reading comments on social media, not organic stories from objective commentators questioning the management of the club. Thomas Frank didnt have this objective case, objectively they looked poor with some mitigation from injuries and a good showing in the CL. Not enough objectively and thats why no one is really shocked. The world would be shocked if Howe was sacked. And in that is everything you need to know about the objective case against Howe. There is none.

Now write the same passage but change it from pro-Eddie to anti-Eddie and maybe a penny will drop for you. This place just likes a fucking piss and moan sometimes , regardless of what’s happening on the pitch

Exactly. The majority of the Eddie Out brigade wouldnt know a good thing if it smacked them in the face. 

 

Its like relationships... ever growing, takes work, takes effort and you can never give up. Sacking Eddie is like throwing the towel in your marriage because you had a few rough months where you were under stress. If you want it to be successful, you don't quit when it gets hard, you dig in. 

 

Fair enough, if we were out of Europe next season and its the same story, then you think about downing tools. But not now. Not when we were in 4 competitions up until 1 week ago and playing football every 3 days, bedding in 5 new players and the loss of our striker talisman. 

 

So yes, I do think the opinions of the Eddie Out brigade are a load of shite and I'd like to know what they suggest as an alternative. I'm all ears.

Very interesting point, there's a fine line between the emotion that football elicits in all of us because it's so important to us all and not being able to cope with those emotions. I know personally I'm often severely negatively impacted in the moment and I'd think people would be lying if they said they weren't. A case in point yesterday, I was still annoyed about the disallowed goal at half time because it was such a daft decision even though we'd gone on to score another. I tend to be alright after sleeping on it, but football definitely creates some big emotions both positive and negative.

You're a lot more articulate in prose than you are on your godawful clickbait YT vids - you should consider print journalism Adam Lad ;-)

Sorry to burst bubbles, but just because people dont post, re Howe out doesnt mean they don't.  Ive had a liad of shit because im Eddie out and still am, he is not the guy to take us forward to where PIF want us, and as most know on here Im a supporter from the early 60's and been on here since 2007, whereas some have only turned up on the last few years.

No manager on the planet can take us where PIF want us with PSR the way it is. I am not even sure PIF would do what they needed to do anyway to get us number 1 in the world even if they were allowed but that's a different story.
