He’s been badly let down by players he trusted in the last two games. Team selection at Liverpool will be interesting

 

This was probably the game to switch it up. It's unfair to make massive changes and then judge those coming in against one of the top teams in the league. They'll get benched again.

Howe has enough credit in the bank to be allowed to have a dodgy season and at the moment I wouldn't quite describe it as a dodgy season but it feels like it is heading that way

 

This recent run has been poor and he rightly should be questioned/criticised for decisions made 

 

I've said it recently and it's even more true after today but he really needs to be ruthless, if next season the likes of Burn/Miggy are starting then he only has himself to blame and that is what will be his downfall


Yeah, but surely there’s no chance that Howe actually wants that?

Absolutely he’s got credit - and I think the frustration here is everyone loves and wants him to do well. But he’s equally been heavily backed.
 

Whilst a a 5-7th finish would represent consolidation and a solid return on investment; finishing outside of a European space would be us going backwards, potentially quite detrimentally, with the calibre of players we’ve got at our disposal (do we retain an ambitious Bruno or Isak for example).

That wouldn't be solely down to Howe as he's not in charge of recruitment. I'd place more responsibility on Ashworth but even then I don't know how true that would be as the owners are quite hands on. 

Agreed 

 

I guess it's difficult to predict what next season looks like but if he's picking Burn when Livramento is on the bench then that's on him

 

And when it comes to Miggy he needs to be making it clear to the club he needs a RW and that Miggy can be sold

Every area I thought we really needed to strengthen in the summer didn’t get done, that’s the main issue for me currently. Going forward I think this will be addressed.

What was that though? I think a goal scoring wide man and good central midfielder was exactly what we needed.

Winger, central midfield? 

A starting Left back, RW and DM, a pacey CB as well. Obviously only my opinion but I thought they where the biggest areas for upgrade needed in the summer, and still are today.

He deserves to see out the season and start next season, however a loss to Sunderland will make a lot of people turn on him, he is doing more wrong than right at the moment.

If you're going to pull the trigger (I would not, right now) you ideally do it in the summer.

You think Alonso is leaving Leverkusen this season?

They are 4 points clear in the Bundesliga and a top seed in the CL 2nd round.  
 

He’s one of the few managers I would trade Howe for. But I reckon he is Real bound at the end of the season with Carlo going to Brazil. He could possibly come here but certainly not this season. 

He would be my pick if they did move on. 100 percent. Not advocating it, just in that instance. Prob get one shot at him when he leaves Leverkusen

See the above post, just my opinion of course.

We ended up with a good LB in Livermento if Barnes hadn't got injured he'd have been able to play Gordon at RW and Tonali would have been good In the centre. Probably didn't have enough left with ffp for a CB?

Though the weird thing is that we might view Howe’s reign as successful to date and we’re calling for patience, because we know what we’ve been in the recent past.

 

It may be that the ownership don’t view it as successful on their own terms, and their expectation is for what they consider success, not us. 

We are ( despite this season ) ahead of schedule . They will have a long term plan and so far Howe has us further ahead than they thought we'd be . If , however , this season is repeated next season , then yes he will be under pressure .

Fuck me the usual yoootooob fuckwits out in full force chatting shit

 

And I ain't saying the man deserves zero criticism but it has to be fair, reasonable and taking full context into consideration.


I dont see too many saying too much? Howe has my support 100%. I do think some things could have been done differently though.

But even there you are almost putting square pegs in round holes. For where we want to be, I think we should have really upgraded the areas I mentioned with top quality in that position. We didn’t and are suffering now as a result imo.

I didn't mean this forum, I meant from the neutrals and YouTube "pundits"
