toon25 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Been blown away today - in every respect. The focus and professionalism to training, the personal touch to fans, the fact that the job means something to someone beyond empty platitudes. Watched those clips today and thought 'fuck me, I want to be there'. Massively excited, though it's also revealed just how utterly fucked we were under the previous regime. What that fat cunt was allowed to get away with on terms of preparing the team was beyond criminal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss poor attitude. 5 years of being indispensable due to Ashley refusing to sign a replacement and knowing it. If he doesn't see the light by December 31st, he'll soon learn very quickly that those days are over once the transfer window opens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I'm sure Howe wouldn't have players leaning against posts for long. Heard a clip of Jack Wilshere saying that he didn't let players sit on balls during training sessions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWTL Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Would have loved to see Emery sign on the dotted line but I think I'm now more excited for Eddie, yes it might end up flopping but I think he will really give his all, he will try and play the football we all want to see, he will engage and care about fans and not giving us bullshit. I'm still worried for this season as its still the same shit players and it's going to take longer than a few weeks to see improvement and increase fitness enough but who knows. I've not been this excited and engaged in everything black and white for years now. Edited November 10, 2021 by HWTL Spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 2 hours ago, The Prophet said: It really is a minor miracle that we finished 13th last season (not a compliment). Willock, someone Arsenal played as DM, went on a run we've not seen since Cisse's first dozen games against teams on the beach. Maybe a new manager bounce from Jones as well. Empty stadiums were also a factor, since Bruce and the team were saved from what would have been lots of deserved pitchside grief. We were arguably worse in Bruce's first season, but Dubs had a great full season and goals from defenders papered over the gaping cracks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 fwiw, my kids yearly did bleep-test shuttle runs, a standardized test of endurance, in elementary school in Japan. That's children who are 6 to 12 years old. I doubt our training under Bruce was even at that level. Shuttle runs are short-interval sprints, so highly relevant to football. It's a real shame Howe is facing an instant rearguard action, because there is wasted potential in the team. So far it has looked obvious that ASM cannot play in the middle, but the truth may be that he cannot play in the middle under a buffoon who simply tells him to "run". With the right coaching and time (we don't have) to adapt, he may be capable of the wide forward to CF or second striker transition we have seen others do. The further forward he plays, the fewer midfielders he's going to be surrounded with, the less important any loss of possession, and the less important his defensive contribution. Joelinton, Alimiron, Murphy etc. may also be capable of much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
