I think it just fucked having any kind of rhythm in terms of getting stuff lined up on the front end and implementing it smoothly. Not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, though. They 100 percent thought they had months to get their shit in order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely forgot about Mings but I think he's a big stiff idiot anyway. Granted he'd still get into our side like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeepShow4life Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Can't see him playing 442 as we only have one good striker. Hopefully he will play 4231. If he plays a back four of Dummett (when fit), Schar, Fernandez and Manquillo Infront of Dubravka, that's not too bad of a defence until we can strengthen in January.

Abacus Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 9 minutes ago, Happinesstan said: Play Dubravka. He won't allow the defence to drop so deep. If Dubravka isn't fit, drop Lascelles as he's doing a shite job of leading . Totally agree. Per my longer post, I've no idea why we're persisting with Darlow if Dubravka is fit. When he first came in I'd wondered why Rafa was prioritising bringing in a keeper when we had other problems. Then it became totally clear - you need someone else that can pass a ball and not just spank it upfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams just get fat sam in and pray. Its not going to be easy but if we can't turn around 6 point deficit then we deserve it. The richest club in the world stuff is shite though. Owners yes. Owners who have said They’ll not be doing a Man City with us. I think we’re down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Didn't Stavely say they're aiming to win the PL within 5-10 years? Sounds like a Man City basically, just a bit slower.

ScottishMagpie Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 They say that now but if we are still in the shit come January they will pump money in. Not saying it solves everything but it will help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geogaddi Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I will get behind him but for me it’s such an underwhelming appointment , just feels like another Mcclaren / Bruce /Pardew type appointment , thought them days were supposed to be over . I think a half decent manager could have attracted some half decent players in January and we would have stayed up but I am 100% confident we will relegated under Howe, hopefully I am wrong but I just can’t see how we stay up under him.

ScottishMagpie Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hot take: this squad with no more additions, fitness improved and players played in their right positions and we would be safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Also, isn't Howe only 43? Who is to say that he doesn't become a great manager? He's already showed some fairly optimistic signs at a very young age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Can anyone name another manager who has done what Howe has? I.e taking a club from the brink of liquidation in the bottom tier and getting them into the top tier within a few years? Give the bloke some credit. I’ll back him to the hilt.
