ponsaelius Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Obviously the overall picture isn't, but in isolation this definitely has been as bad. We've looked staggeringly open and with almost no threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in time for the mackems as well. One week ago we beat Chelsea, Man Utd, and were one minute away from winning in Paris. ”doesn’t look good”… get fucked.

LiquidAK Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 It really hasn't been as bad as the depths of Bruce, not close to it, it's just the relative disparity between our usual performance that's making this look bad. Howe will learn from it, but so much of this is the turboshit hand we've been dealt here, not a lot you can learn from that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the time of year, games coming up, and derhy looming. He also had more options earlier in the season. As ever, people can't see the bigger picture. This is a proper rest for him.

This has been genuinely as bad as anything under Bruce. His first big test was dragging out of the relegation zone. At the beginning of last season, we could only draw games, so obviously another first big test. Then people were saying that our poor form before the cup final was his first big test. How many first big tests does this guy have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the perspective of our injuries, extra games, poor away form and being ahead of where we should be at this stage of our evolution need to be factored in ?

bobbydazzla Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) what’s he supposed to do when the only option he’s had is 10 fit outfield players playing every 4 days and now we have a clampit in goal too ?

We’ve lost two games in a week, poor, tired performances. But why wouldn’t he be able to turn it around? He’s been nothing short of exceptional since taking over, and the last two matches have significant mitigating factors. 3 minutes ago, Turnbull2000 said: Knackered, injury ridden squad or not, this week has shown he has some way to go to being a top tier manager like Klopp, Guardiola and Emery. errr, last season’s Klopp says hi!

Aiston Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) 5 away points all season. It's horrificly bad away form. Hope he has a way of improving that when players are back fit. Better in the way of subs today, still though Trippier should have been off 20 minutes earlier (or half time).

BShearer Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 seems very hard to replicate last season away form: we were 3rd best away team with 8-8-3 record end of 22/23 season now after 9 games we are 16th with 1-2-5 record next 3 away PL games: Luton who is managing to make top teams suffer a lot a home Liverpool... Villa who is on an 8/8 home record so far this season just beaten City and then Arse too we certainly cannot go to these places and end up getting 0 or 1 point from these combined. would maybe sign 4 points now tho on current form/injuries. Howe needs to come up with a plan, not the same plan he had today or vs Everton.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
