Well thats Howe’s job to play with a tactic the squad’s fitness levels allow them to play. Trying to play high pressing football with unfit players is as naive as Norwich under Farke trying to tikitaka with shit players.

This is a valid argument, I've made it myself. But it does appear as though Howe, like Rafa before him, is playing the system in order to familiarise the players that will still play a part once we have our transfer targets secured.

Turning speed yes but he was always fast enough to at least keep up with players.

 

He was either trying hard and just not able to run, or wasn’t trying and didn’t give a fuck if he caught up or not.

 

I’m not sure what is worse to be honest.

Looking at Bruce I'm guessing he's never heard of agility training.

Really starting to worry about him. I can’t see any semblance of a game plan, the midfield is non existent but we’re not trying other formations and every game it feels like the sub is too late. Joelinton was clearly struggling with groin and played on another 10-15 mins with it when he could have come off.

He needs to get a hold of Willock and tell him to buck his fucking ideas up mind .

 

EH bought Woods but not playing to him at all, allowing ASM to roam around will negate Woods full stop and that’s what’s happening, may as well play Woods at Centre Half .

Last few minutes saw some long balls to Wood with players running on, we need to stick to that.

Well done to him for today.

 

First half was really poor and we looked exposed in the fullback positions, I thought we were lucky to come in level. A real mess and no cohesion, plan, pattern to our forward play.

 

Second half much better, we grew into it, for once took advantage of an individual error rather than committing one, and deserved the win overall. 

 

The fact we kept playing and didn't revert to the 18 yard line after scoring hopefully shows he's starting to learn. Really pleasing to see us pushing up and forcing the issue even when in the lead because if we'd sat back like last week I'm convinced we're talking about another 1-1 here best case.

 

Still work to do of course but a hard fought win that and I hope he can use it as a platform to build on. Hopefully the Lascelles injury sees us push the button on a proper centre half.
