andycap Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 After we went 1 up the lack of quality was there for all to see Miggys shooting on sight instead of slipping in better positioned players. Brunos laziness on the ball burns reluctancy to get the ball down the flank at the earliest opportunity. In reality we should of had them penned in for most the second halve. Im not gonna blame howe if the players aren't doing the job properly. The subs is up for debate but howe shouldn't need to hold there hands to get them to beat 10 men.

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I tell you one thing I can only imagine how many piss stained sheets would’ve been out on the line, after the Coventry defeat in Keegan's second PL game in charge for us, were the modern internet fan a thing back then. 🤦🏻 Seriously anybody reading too much into any team's performances before about ten games have been played, needs to give their heads a serious wobble. Is this the first year you started watching football or something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bally21 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Eddie maybe got some things wrong yesterday, but he is a good manager. I'm not saying he's should be immune from criticism, but for me its a bad day at the office, learn, move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 15/01/2022 at 17:01, Away Toon said: Maybe a slight overreaction to that result, but Howe is completely out of his depth and should never have been given the job, Trippier is way way past his best and his positional play is really not very good, Wood well we knew he was limited but that performance was so innocuous he might as well not have played. We have two weeks to buy a new team and changing the manager wouldn't do us any harm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Ridiculous some of the nonsense in here. We would have been relegated without him and the squad last season had no business qualifying for the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 We were incredibly slow with the ball and barely switched the ball from one side to the other, something you should always do against 10 men. Do that at pace and they’ll tire and you’ll get an overload. I’m convinced that’s what Eddie wanted because that’s what any manger would’ve wanted. It’s just that our players, pretty much collectively played completely within themselves. Perhaps on some subconscious level the players think they’ve ‘arrived’. With any luck Sunday’s result will disavow them of that notion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Think some credit has to go to Liverpool for stopping those quick balls to the wingers. We were moving it side to side but the final pass, particularly to Gordon, was often blocked off. Edited August 28, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve never changed your opinion about something, never engaged in any critical thought, never had an opinion that evolved over time? When Howe wins something with us he can be called great, at the moment he’s looking good but as a team and a club there are still big steps to make.

You have a posting history of lifting takes and of just being inherently miserable, also one of ceasing posting when things are going well; "x is shite", "can see where this is going", "wonder how we'll bottle this", "no wonder, not won a trophy for years." Genuinely wonder what you get from this tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, he took a team that had not only been flushed down the shitter and facing almost certain relegation and got them into the CL. Yes, money played a part as did the backroom staff additions but he led this team on the pitch to all that success. He's going to be given the benefit of the doubt for a long time by me.

Displayname Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Got no problems with the subs either. Only critisicm from me is that we didnt try harder to finish the game and allowed Liverpool a last minute push. Also slightly worried that we look kinda clueless against a low backline.

Ste Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 We have a coaching team that works alongside a sports science team, which will guide decisions when it comes to how much load a player can take on, what type of running he has done, at which point a strain is more likely to occur, and so on. For me, it’s difficult to judge the substitutes without being privy to this information. Disappointing result, that we know for definite Howe will go through with a fine tooth comb to iron out our weaknesses and look to improve on. No worries at all with his management so far from me.

The Prophet Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Since the start of last season that's 7 losses in 41 (2 x City 3 x Liverpool, 1 x Arsenal, 1 x Villa). Incredible really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Be canny In 20 years when history is rewrote and people realise how good Eddie was before he was forced out by our stupid fans They'll all deny it though. The same as they do now with Robson I'll go with Mourinho as this eras souness Our fans deserve fuck all success 👌 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinstonFC Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Some serious whining in here about criticising Eddie. Hes a fantastic manager and we are lucky to have him but he fucked up a few decisions on Sun, hopefully he learns from it. Brighton getting spanked last weekend should put a few nerves at ease, we can put things right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
