I won't spoil it. 14:05 on the presser. Someone get that bloke some help, man.

 

Holy fuck. That's way worse than I could have imagined.

 

Why? Just why?

 

Makes me want to choke to death on my own vomit.

Is nobody going to tell us what was said?

He made some weird comments about how buff Eddie was looking, and asked if he’d been working out

1990/91 remains the worst season in my memory banks.  Yes, we were even more shite the year after, but that did have the KK ending.  Being midtable in Division Two is as grim as it gets.

 

I wasn’t around for the humdrum horrors of 78-82.

Makes me laugh when these "Johnny Come Latelys" (*) moan about things now.

* only joking

Today's the first match which makes me think there's something more going on that tactical frustrations/confusion.

 

Gordon lashing out like that isn't something we've seen from him since he's come here. Clearly frustrated.

 

The culture of the club is Howe's absolute crowning achievement, allowing players to overperform and effectively make the team more than the sum of its parts.

 

It very much feels like that's fraying around the edges, to me.

[wyn davies]

Something's not right

[TBG]

Hasn't immediately ran across to celebrate with Howe

 

[Ellis H]

If Isak and Gordon miss the final it’ll be hard to put into words just how destructive those few minutes were. The Premier League don’t need to sabotage us, we will always do it ourselves.

Just forget about the final, sick of talking about it

Usual kneejerking bedwettery from you. Gordon was frustrated because he was being held over and over again. Brighton got under his skin and there's fuck all else to it.

 

Edit: sorry for the snark, @ChrisMcQuillan - the polite version is: I disagree.  This team of players and coaches battle for each other without fail.

None of it looks right, been masked with that fantastic run this season. We haven't looked like playing the football we did with pressing, attacking and opening teams up. There was a time when we scored we immediately pressed to get a 2nd or in 2nd halves rushed teams, looks stale and boring now 

[JoeyBartoon]

Surely that’ll be big Joe wide left for the final. Hopefully Miley start with tonali and Bruno

It’s Joelinton’s best position for me - I hope Howe does play him there

No need to apologise mate, it's fine to disagree.

 

And I honestly think that for the last two years up until the last few months, you're exactly right, they do normally battle and fight for each other.

 

It just doesn't feel right at the moment on the pitch at all, not what we've been used to to for the last few seasons.

 

I remember during the Pardew era we'd go on these winning runs, then losing runs, and the winning runs got shorter and the losing runs longer.

 

It kinda feels a bit like that at the moment, but more in terms of performance. We click for a few matches, then it gets painful again.

 

I've learned at my own cost to underestimate Howe at my peril, but I'm not sure what else to say. It just feels like something's wrong. It's fair enough to disagree, fully respect that. Don't think it's bedwetting to want to talk about it though haha.

Need to address our possession trouble. Its ruining almost every game now.

[TRon]

Another ping pong game lottery. Another losing ticket.

 

There has to be a better way.

[Menace]

That run has masked in my opinion quit a lot of drab performances. Beginning of the season we were playing poor but still winning. I know people will say we're 3 points off 4th. We're also 2 points from 10th. It's not really much credit considering most teams this season have been completely inconsistent.

[mouldy_uk]

[Pilko]

We can't control home games frequently enough and I don't think he knows the solution. I really hope he can find it.

[Aiston]

Still massive problems in possession and nothing changing on it.

Making 3 subs at a time doesn't seem that well thought out tbh.
