Here they all come back. 

Ffs we’ve been poor all season - we can criticise where we feel it’s justified and it is justified

His predictable subs and refusal to try something different. Even when we are playing like a bag of shit and don’t look like scoring for 90 hours, never mind minutes. Is starting to get frustrating, I must say. 

 

It's stubborn arrogance. It's beyond frustrating. What we're doing doesn't work unless someone hits a purple patch. Every fucking season it's a purple patch.

My mate text me at half time saying “Can’t wait to see Tonali, Gordon and Wissa off for Ramsey, Wolte and Elanga on 60 minutes”.

 

Only got one wrong and that was because Joe had to go off injured, convinced he’d have got it spot on if he didn’t.

The attacking play is predictable as fuck. And it only works on the counter. And nee fucker is giving us the chance to do that. We are utterly clueless when our pattern of quick switch , overlap, low cross isn't on.

There's a difference between criticising and tripping over yourselves to get in here and have a pop. You can just tell half of you are typing with one hand like 

 

People have made "Howe isn't good enough" their entire identity and it's weird as fuck behaviour tbh, absolutely deserves the mockery

Looks like we will need another rebuild this summer. 

 

I wonder if we still have any of the Isak money left, or did we spunk it all on deadwood like Wissa, Ramsey and Elanga?

Without Isak it’s shit. We always knew it was going to be without shrewd signings and a more flexible approach.

Outfought and out thought by a better side today sadly. It wasn't like we were really bad or anything, there's just far too much reliance on the wing play strategy to try and score. One of them can't be arsed in the league but is picked come what may, and the other is played out of position, so it doesn't work against any half decent side. Absolutely nowt comes through the middle at all. And when we do manage a good cross, our strikers aren't in there.

 

Too many times when we're trying to force the issue, we seem to fritter away the game getting fuck all shots on target. Two strikers who don't ever get between the posts and the most shot-shy central midfield in the league (Bruno aside) will probably do that.

 

Come the summer, we need more artists in the centre/wide positions and fewer warriors to balance the mix. I'm not so sure we will do it but that's what it looks like we need. 

 

Not his finest hour today, but far from his worst one. Still loads to play for and history tells us he'll get us somewhere come the end of it all.

This. £40-£50m on Elanga who offers fuck all. £40m on Wissa who was well past the age we should have been buying players at. Ramsey has looked hopeless. Meanwhile every single team in the league is able to find players from other leagues for half the price.

All because Howe likes Premier League experience.

The Elanga and Wissa I can understand why we signed. They where safe bets(even though they havent been shit so far..). But Ramsey, I dont see how he fits us? Is he central midfield or a winger? Is he thought to be a starter, squad player or what? Thiaw the best signing was imo signed as a backup/squad rotation player.. we need to have a look at our recruitment and scout team, because this summer was horrible and by now it looks like money wasted..

See can't really argue with any of that. It's actually thought-out, valid criticism, not just "Howe bad lol"

We need a big summer not just buying players but selling some of the shite we have in this squad. I have to say given our record in the transfer windows I dont have much confidence but that's not all on Eddie.

Tactics - Subs - away form - poor signings - players overplayed - poor defending - playing style - poor in game management 

 

Thats 6 months worth of evidence not just a kneejerk post after 1 game

I really think he will be here next autumn if we're being realistic and non biased. 

 

Luckily our owners aren't kneejerk idiots and will look at the bigger picture of where we are and the fact we're still competing on 4 fronts going into February.

Does that include some of the recent additions?

I honestly think it depends on how serious the Saudis are about us, or if they move on to their next play thing.

 

We'll do well to finish top 7 at best this season, if we finish below top 7 I think, based on everything that's a poor season

 

Saudis have their fingers in so many pies, maybe they're not that arsed about finishing 8th for example, still money being made from tv coverage, and we've been champions league this season. He'll continue on. But if they are bothered, and see it as a poor season, they might pull the trigger in the hope of someone "better".

He won us a trophy which we are very grateful for but has since than set the team back 4-5 years. Need a complete overhaul in summer. First Howe (sorry) and then Gordon, Wissa, Tonali (to get cash) Elanga, Schär, Pope
