Mattoon Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I like Southgate, clean cut, no frills, gets on with the job. After two good runs in the last two tournaments he deserves to keep going until it stops working. However, I hope he doesn't think he's the finished article and keeps trying to learn from his mistakes, he was outclassed and blindsided by a simple tactical change, I would hope he's looking to improve that side of his management going into the world cup. As for Howe, he really was the perfect pick, he understands the club, the fans and has clearly learned a lot since his time at Bournemouth. It's still early days of course but the signs are there, club, manager, players and supporters all pulling in the same direction and he's personified the takeover, kept a cool head in the wake of Bruce and undone a lot of damage in a short period of time.

Me either. Aye, he’d be a fair winner too but Big Eddie deserves it more as I’m full of bias and it might actually force the pro Bruce press to recognise he’s done a good job which is absolutely verboten it would appear at the moment.

Yorkie Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 If we end up finishing in mid-table, the £92million will ensure that the praise isn't heaped on him to the extent it should be; despite Wood being a clear downgrade on Wilson, Bruno not featuring in this 'turning period' and Trippier only playing five games. Not that we didn't recruit well; we did, and they gave the place a huge lift, but the work on the training ground has been just as influential if not moreso. The notion of a team featuring Krafth, Schar, Shelvey, Willock, Joelinton, Murphy and Fraser (plus not featuring ASM and Wilson) winning 2-0 on the road was absolutely laughable three months ago.

Smal Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Fair questions to ask. Wish he'd just respond along the lines of those are questions for the owners or something though instead of providing the journalist with a gotcha.

Kanji Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I don't think these are fair questions at all. He's at a press conference to talk about the match on Saturday. He's not there to talk about Chelsea, or Saudi bombing in Yemen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
