His substitutions have always been his biggest flaw. It was quite clear at half time Joelinton needed replacing but yet again he waited until the 60th minute when we where behind.

It’s not a bad squad to be fair, certainly better than it’s showing at the moment. 

Pretty clear it's not cut out for playing with the intensity we need week in week out though and the RW issue has left us massively lacking up top.

 

It's partly Howe's fault, he has a good eye for a player for a manager but we should have brought someone like Mitchell in years ago.

Flaw not floor. 😄

U don’t just sack a manager after few poor results/ performances ffs, has my backing till the end of the season at least. 
in 2 weeks we could have 6 points against Leicester and Ipswich and in a semi final 

 

Aye

[AngelofTheFourth]

Brentford, Brighton, Fulham, Forrest  and Bournemouth should not be above us in the table. All of them apart from Bournemouth with a game in hand. It's not good enough. What can you actually blame it on? 

 

We can't have 2 seasons in a row out of Europe if you want to be one of the big teams. You can't just have 1 UCL season and then dip. People are no longer taking us seriously and it is very worrying. 

[mighty__mag]

We seemed to change what we're doing to accommodate Gordon, fist half I was quite satisfied, second half we've forced Barnes out to the right, he's then not affecting the game and is hauled off for Miggy, at this point Howe has now used every winger while also introduces Wilson into the game and keeping Isak on?

 

We could simply have left Barnes on the left introducing Wilson, for Murphy, and instructed Isak to play and cut in from the right, didn't understand complications using everyone, and I've said it before, it seems Gordon has priority where Eddie's choices are made, it's bizarre, because he's playing average all season, and has become lazy out of possession. 

 

 

[Matt1892]

It is easy to say it because the players are not good enough, but who from Brentford would get in to our best eleven? Or from Bournemouth, Fulham or Forest?

 

You would be lucky to have 2 or 3 from each team getting in to our best eleven, yet they are going out and playing decent football because their managers have them motivated and sending them out with a game plan.

He shouldnt be given a substantial amount of money in January tbh. Not because I dont trust him, but because we need to have money for new signings available to entice a top place manager to come if Eddie doesnt fix what is clearly broken.

[The Butcher]

The apathy is setting in like.

 

Don't see how that will change without a change now. If Howe stays he must make changes in his staff now.

 

We need fresh blood.

[Paullow]

W5 D5 L5 is not good enough especially when we have pretty much all of the better sides to play away in the final 23 games. The likes of Fulham and Brentford away clearly aren't easy games, but when you have the 'big 6', Villa, Brighton etc. you simply can't be getting 0 points from Fulham A, Brentford A, West Ham H, or Brighton H. 

[J7]

What’s ’Sir Bobby all over again’ supposed to mean. Are the people talking this nonsense 20 and been listening to Mackems? 

[Stifler]

He won’t be proactive in subs.

We can’t defend, and haven’t done for 2 years now. He won’t bring in a defensive coach.

We are fucking shit at set pieces, and he won’t bring in a set piece coach.

 

If a player does come to the club, he’s got to wait ages until they get a game. Hall and Livramento last season when Burn and Trippier were giving away goals game after game. Osula this season when he had both Isak, and Wilson unavailable.

 

Our press has gone. We can’t break teams down. Simple passes are misplaced.

We aren’t even a shadow of the team he had us as a couple of years ago, and nothing so far indicates that he’s going turn it around.

The problem isn't that it has been a few poor results/performances. We have been so awful away for a long time. We still have the same issues that we had 3 years ago. Its not just about this year. Its about the results regardless. He got to have his "injuries" excuse last year. This year he has nothing. The system isnt working. The players are for some reason only motivating themselves to play top 6. There is a change needed.

3 years ago when we made the champions league from the fucking relegation zone the season before aye? Injuries excuse we were decimated man 7th was an alright season overall, 

This year so far has been inconsistent but couple good league results right back in the fight for Europe and could be in a semi final don’t be so quick to throw ur toys  

[Collage]

Was he not backed in the window or was he part of that problem? Still a big question.

Not a great analogy, given that Robson should’ve been sacked a lot earlier than he eventually was, and the failure to sack him when we should have damaged us badly.

I actually don’t trust him. Elanga coming in on the right wing for 40 million. No thanks.

Agree about SBR but at what point does it become untenable? And it’s dependent on the owners, not the punters. They will have expectations and if he’s not meeting those expectations he’ll be bulleted. Simple as that and whether the punters like it or not. We’re owned by businessmen , not football people and that’s how it works now.  
SBR was a good tactician who could adapt and modify his approach to a game as it was happening. This all seems a bit one dimensional, which is how Keegan got found out too. Great motivator, poor coach.

Sacking Robson wasn't the issue, doing it 5 games in and replacing him with Souness was.

Which manager is available?

Honestly, I have no idea.

 

But I also had no idea who Thomas Frank was until he turned up at Brentford and he's just embarrassed us in that second half. I still can't pronounce the Brighton managers name and he seems to be doing alright.

And the fact he was replaced by Souness. And the fact it was 20 fucking years ago.

Simple passes misplaced has nothing to do with Howe

[Aiston]

Our easiest start to the season in a very long time and we are languishing in 12th with a poor goal difference and we've played well maybe 3 games.

 

With literally nothing looking like things will change.

I see that you want to clean over the issues due to his lucky CL position. Im sorry but I dont share that sentiment. Even if we managed to luck ourselves to a 4th, it doesn't mean there wasn't any issues. The big hole between the midfield and defensive line has been there ever since, never fixed. Tonali cant perform in our team due to the weird flat 3 that just doesn't work. Yet in Italy in a double pivot he looks amazing. We have no bite, and at some point its not down to just the players. Its down to the system, they get asked and tasked to do a job and this is how it looks.
