We don’t know what the target is.  My view at the start of the season was that 7th/8th would represent a decent campaign, and my opinion hasn’t changed.  Part of the issue is the lop-sided nature of the season creating recency bias.  

Not claiming to be itk but my mate is the football secretary, he gives absolutely nothing away but you get the occasional snippet when he drops something in conversation ?‍♂️

It will, it'll mean the player with the most assists in the league is the one who sits back. 

 

Why can't Tino play the same role as Burn and let Trippier push on when he wants to? 
I'd much rather have Tino as last man back with his recovery pace then any of our other defenders.

It’s a bit of an overreaction granted but you can barely keep yours dry when anyone is critical of Howe on here. Surely you understand that people are going to be frustrated seeing the same glaring issues game after game to the extent we’re only 2 points ahead of Wolves?

 

I don't kick off at everyone being critical of Howe because some of the constructive criticism is perfectly reasonable. Some of it is complete nonsense though.

Assistant football secretary you mean?

Yep. You DO want Tino to be able to bomb forward though.

Maybe we'll try something revolutionary like have both full backs able to go forward when the situation warrants it?

 

Seem to recall Trippier getting plenty involved going forward against Man U and Chelsea when Tino was at LB. Set up the Gordon goal against Man U.

With Eales publicly targeting Europe as a goal in Jan, if he doesmt achieve it he will be under pressure and it may even cost him His job.  


Eales publicly inviting bids for our top players was more ridiculous than expecting Europe when we had no money to spend. And whether you want to debate one in and one out, that’s another story but he and our our board can fuck off if they attempt to try and push anything on Eddie after the injury luck we’ve been dealt with.

Does Tino have recovery pace? I've never seen him as particularly fast.

He won't be under pressure and he won't be pushed out either. Don't pay any mind man.

Nothing wrong with setting goals and targets - it’s the consequences of not achieving them which should be thought through carefully.  I don’t think Howe should be getting the tin tack for not achieving European football, but it absolutely should be one of the things he’s aiming to achieve this season

 

I can’t imagine Howe not wanting to aim high - for himself, the players and the club

Isn't it as simple as if Tino bombs forward Trips stays in the 3 and vice versa?

'Eddie Howe's drawing at home to bottom half teams mags' doesn't have a good ring to it.

 

Not sure if the board sees their own failings in this season. I hope so. He deserves another crack at this, but with some thinking and less spunking.
