Not gonna lie, post-Bobby era I used to count how many passes we'd make when regaining possession and it would usually only be 2 or 3 on average before we were dispossessed. Most of our other managers have made keeping possession look impossible. Now I don't even think about it under Howe. Just love the transformation.

 

I remember a period under pardew when we couldn't keep possession on a throw in to save our lives...

We've played Liverpool, City, and Brighton and have lost only once all season. That seems to get forgotten by a few people.

 

We also have the fifth highest GD

 

 

 

And the loss was a last minute goal which arguably shouldn’t have happened, very unlucky not to be unbeaten still

Not to mention the piece of shit decision to rule out Isak's second that night.  

 

Obviously every team can say similar but it's not mental to say we should have five more points than we do. Total robbery dished out by the officials two games in a row.

Seeing us with a positive GD is so, so odd.

Obviously it helped that Fulham were awful and played nearly the whole game with ten.  But when the team was announced, prior to knowing about Joelinton's injury and the illness in the squad that was mentioned.  My first reaction was to piss and moan.  Then remembered I have done it before a few times with Howe and I've always been proven wrong. 

 

Murphy played the best he has since he joined. 

Almiron was on fire. 

Longstaff scored and was involved in the red card for them by committing to the challenge. 

Burn was solid at left back again.

Anderson not starting certainly looked like the right call.  As he did look to get caught in possession quite a lot.

 

Need to try and remember we have a proper manager now and he obviously knows a lot more than me.

We've had so many managers in the past put out piss poor starting lineups because they have no idea what they are doing. 

 

Eddie does it for a reason and that's because he's done due diligence on the opposition not because we need "more fret" or because they speak Dutch or because they've rolled their sleeves up in training. 

 

It'll just take us a while to fully get used to that [emoji38]

Our all time PL goal difference is -36, would be nice to see that being back to a positive one in a couple of seasons.

The Crystal Palace draw was obvious corruption/ incompetence that they admitted was wrong.

 

So that's 3 for a start.

 

That's not really how football works tbf, Palace would have had plenty of time to change tactics to get something out of the game if they were losing

We've not cocked up a lead this season to anyone but City and Liverpool so I'd venture to say based on how we've played thus far we'd have taken the 3 points.

Yeah same here, WTF followed by "well, Eddie knows what he's doing so let's wait and see..."

 

Also maybe belongs in the Burn thread but I have been really impressed with him at LB, obviously he has been immense at CB but he really does a job at LB as well, seems 100% rock solid and he's tidy with the ball. If he doesn't get forward that's not really the worst thing in the world as it gives us some balance, with ASM being so attack minded and Trippier constantly getting forward from RB it's not terrible to have a more defensive minded player on the left.

 

Overall I think Targett starts ahead of him at but I have no issues at all when I see Burn run out on the left.

Regarding Burn it’s been pointed out before I think but when he plays LB we essentially move to a 3 CB system in possession with Trippier almost RM/RW and Miggy in field. It really works well

It works really well and everyone looks like they know what they’re doing.

As much as I really really want Targett to start, the tactics of having Burn there and letting Tripps getting way forward bear out in the end at the moment. Once they get snuffed out I bet Targett will be back in quickish.
