I was disappointed and a little worried with Palace and Brentford away performances but we've responded incredibly strongly since then. That whole period felt like a lot of "what ifs" with the amount of chances we just weren't putting away. To a degree we're now seeing the what if outcome.

Dr Jinx Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 He was always going to turn it around as that's been the way of it, it's when the next international break kicks in or when we have a run of games likes the ones we do coming up in the PL. 4 winnable games, more so than what we've just done. That's when we have tended to slip up. If we can keep that consistency through all that then maybe we have turned a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performances v West Ham, Palace and Brentford were alarming though. The turn around since then has been nothing short of remarkable. Full credit to Howe and the coaching staff.

Rod Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 25 minutes ago, South-Cheshire-Toon said: You could tell from last nights game that there is a need to improve the squad - looking at how Arsenal pressed - it was a backs to the wall situ for 20 mins - we need to be able to do the same - it's not like the players we have are bad, no, they are good, it's just the likes of Arsenal, City, Chelsea have the £££ ability to buy in lot's of players and get good in depth squads, in effect having a 2nd 11 - which, at present, is something we don't have. Exactly this. We need more class players even to sit on the bench. Some on here are suggesting we sell Barnes because he's too expensive to sit on the bench. Total nonsense from them. We need MORE of the likes of his standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 5-5-0 late on in the second half. That time studying Simeone and our streak of being able to play Satanic football coming back to the fore. Get the fuck in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a wonderful riposte to the current vogue of managers playing certain ways and refusing to make any change even mid game as if there's valour in dropping points, we score a lot of goals, good to the eye but not going to make anything easy for the other team. He has made me look a fool for pondering if he'd taken us as far as he could, appoint him for life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola14 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Last night could be monumental result for the club, especially off the back of the MU and Spurs also on the road even if we don't win the competition this time, I think the experience of playing in these type of big games will be crucial going forward a final against MU, all the CL games last season, a 2 leg semi final against Arsenal and potentially another final against Liverpool - should mean this team is more mentally equipped to deal with the next final or CL campaign etc. I think we struggled with the occasion in the 2023 final and perhaps a bit in the CL too as I said, even if we go on to lose the final, it's all part of the journey and growing experience there will no doubt be plenty of bumps along the road but sure Klopp lost quite a few finals before success finally came to him at Liverpool, Ancelotti similar in Italy and am sure there are plenty of other examples so glad the club have stuck by Howe and I'm sure success will come if they continue to do so, with a bit of luck I think it's just a matter of time Edited January 8 by Ginola14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahoneys Tache Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I think he might be the most impressive manager we’ve had in my lifetime. I’m so old Joe Harvey was manager in my lifetime, but not so old I recall him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Being called boring by a baldy, snide bombastic cunt like Edwards would get a rise out of a few managers, Eddie hoofs the tit over the boundary with a knowing smile & parks the twat firmly in his self absorbed world without breaking stride.

This is it for me. I'm not sure it's 'absolutely disgusting'. I think some of the carry on from Louise Taylor and I think one other journo with the Tonali questions would a bit closer to that. But he really is always trying to make some funny comment and be a bit edgy. He gets on one of the 5 Live podcasts now and then. Annoyingly, he isn't that bad at speaking and getting his point across. But he is just a dislikeable character and is always acting the clown on there and all.
