Chicken Dancer Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Fantastic win and finally a good performance, but very important not to get too high. They are absolutely dire and one of the worst teams we've played in a while. Great scenes at the end though. Felt proper chuffed for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEntertainer Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I don't want Howe out, but if you want a list of names who could have a go at doing a job and are realistic in the summer: Iraola Glasner Carrick (if he doesn't get the Man U job longterm) Nuno? Mourinho? Southgate? Alonso? I'm not convinced any of them would do a better job than Howe, but they also probably wouldn't completely fuck it up? I think Alonso might not be interested and Nuno would be a risk, but they are all realistic and not crap. There's bound to be more big names on the continent who I just don't know about as well, Le Bris has done well at Sunderland and he was hardly a household name. Point is there are options, are they better options? Probably not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 28 minutes ago, TRC said: I think we need someone who can play more progressive football and not rely on athleticism. I dont think that works when playing every 3 days unless you have a massive squad or have special inhalers. I think this undersells how difficult it is to find players that have the combination of physicality required to play in the PL and that next level of technique. In a world without PSR or one where we have more money and more cachet our squad might include Ekitike, Pedro, Olise, Szoboszlai, and Guehi among others. Maybe it still wouldn't be the brand of football some want, but I'm not sure how anyone could be certain Eddie couldn't take us up another level with that kind of talent.

JT24 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 IF he was to leave, I’d do whatever we could to keep Andy. And then I’d approach Sebastian Hoeneß and see if he wants to work with Big Nick again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They change identity every season and it's only gotten worse since Kane and Son left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been decent against weaker sides at times this season, but the more resolute ones have given us problems. That said, we played some nice football yesterday and Ramsey and Willock gave us mobility and the desire to crash into the box from midfield. More please!

Whitley mag Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Howe needs a good recruitment team, hopefully Wilson and Suds prove to be that. I’d like to see some evolution in our style and a bit more flair in the team, I do find us a hard watch at times, but would only take a couple of good signings to change that. Ive never committed to a change of manager as unsure who we’d end up, but it’ll always be a results business and still maintain he needs a strong finish to show he’s the right man for next phase of the project. Of course PIF need to step us as well and convince us their ambitions are realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe we just double down and give Eddie a team of athletes. Sadly emulating Arteta might be the best way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant. I'm now fully Howe Out. Yeah I'm not Howe out either, but someone was asking repeatedly for a list of options, those are some of them. It's virtually impossible to say if they'd be a success or not though right, but as they aren't knackers I'd hope they wouldn't burn the place down.

Vinny Green Balls Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Anyone who mentions Mourinho as a potential replacement has completley lost the plot. I will reiterate this. Look at Spurs. We are in the Poch period. There is a very good chance that we will end up in the Ange-Frank period if Howe walks. I should have worded that better.
