dave s Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He’s done a great job so far. I’m so glad we got him under this new ownership and not Ashley lol ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Feels like the best fit for this club since Keegan and SBR, and that's no disrespect to Rafa, this is purely about football philosophy which fits the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 He's the perfect fit for the club right now. He's obviously expected to grow with the club, and vice versa. Could well be the next Fergie if the club doesn't outgrow him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely was glad Rafa went to Everton because think a fresh start was the best for the club and now we have that with a better brand of football.

54 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 What a man, he managed that second half really well. Says something that they didnt have a clear chance in the last half hour despite the pressure Villa where applying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 That second half was as Rafa as anything, but his Bournemouth side couldn’t defend, fucking tremendous! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) You really want a manager ramp-up rather than a manager bounce, that’s what you get when someone gets to work over time and gradually improves each player. Have to admit I doubted him for a while, but he’s really impressing now. Edited February 13, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Deserves all the praise after what he inherited. Biggest concern (as ever), is the injuries but hopefully Manky and Tripps are both ok. Edited February 13, 2022 by mouldy_uk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I thought he should have made the change sooner as we had lost control but fair play he didn't panic and the players gave it their all Even Krafth came on and was largely decent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I’m always the first one to admit I was wrong - and now it seems like I just should have listened to my first reaction, which was that he could fit in well. He has learned from his mistakes and improved our game. Hopefully it will continue like this, because we have lots of crucial battles ahead and although now it feels great, only one bad set of results sends us back where we came from. Long way to go still, I’m not getting too excited yet, but at least now we have manager who doesn’t repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

mighty__mag Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Proving any doubters wrong. With his favoured 11 on the pitch we see just what he wants to get out of them, let's face it, Villa were stunned in the first half, in the second half, yes it wasn't pretty, but, we saw the game out. The premier league form table is speaking for itself. The transformation of Joelinton under this manager is incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokerprince2004 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Said in the match thread but I will say it again in here. We have picked up 10 points from the last 4 games compared to 11 points from first 19 games. Eddie Howe deserves great credit for turning this shitshow around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 One thing he's not getting much praise for is for how good we've been defensively, in the last 5 games we've only conceded 3 goals, given his reputation when he first came in, that year off has clearly taught him a few things.

At least you admit yoy overreacted. Some on here have been utterly insufferable, and will Just slink away and pretend that they didn’t spout garbage. I will certainly remind them.
