Amir_9 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 As much as we can all agree he's earnt the right to start next year, he really needs to shake up his ideas and quick because we were so close to ending our season there and just limping across the finish line and we still have 3 months to go.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 He sent out a team more than capable of smashing Blackburn and some of them put in genuinely spineless performances, like. You can go on about coaching blah blah blah but we're a significantly better side than them, players have to take responsibility in those scenarios. You can't have players pulling out of 50/50s, playing blind balls around corners or absolute hospital passes, relentlessly passing the ball backwards when you're 1v1. These are not things that have been synonymous with Howe for the vast majority of his tenure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmk Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Holy shit some of the comments in this thread. The team is just off an absolute battering. Against a side who has a free hit to get to the QF of the FA Cup, and played out of their skin. Particularly their GK. Wondering why all the individual mistakes and the poor finishing is on the manager. Sure he picked Burn.. it's hardly criminal. He was a big part of a back 4 that got us CL and to a cup final just 12 months ago. The narrative that is forming in this place is only going to get worse and worse and we know where it ends up. The next manager Mourinho or whoever isnt going to do better with the players. Just enjoy the win. The overall trajectory of our club is upwards.

KaKa Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I do not envy this guy one bit. So many players look void of form and the team has no rhythm or flow to it at the minute. Not looking forward to the game at the weekend at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Agreed, the long ball hoofs can’t have been what we practiced. I just don’t know what that performance was tonight on the ball. Hopefully they can start making improvements in training now that we’ve actually got a squad to play with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times we had good runners timing excellent dashes and chose to ignore them and pass backwards was infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenC Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Find it hard to believe he wouldn't have told Miley that if it was all square with minutes to go he'd be coming back off, we might be in a rut but he's not stupid.

I guess it was a different team that had beaten Man City, Man Utd, Paris SG in cup competitions already this season. All with a squad decimated with injuries.

Sibierski Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Lack of changes and doubling down again on formation during game. Got over line, but same issues persist. Now more players are coming back, we should be seeing different things moving forward, as clearly our way from last season has lost its edge, which is fair, it peaked with players like Longstaff/Almiron etc. so it’s time to evolve the style. Need to work on better patterns of play IMO. Tino at RB was great, as he had the individualistic ability to just drive with the ball, which then creates space. Just does leave us exposed on turnover as we have no recovery pace in midfield/defence, so something to work on structure wise to mitigate it to allow that extra dimension in attack. Showed with corners that others can take them too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
