But the debate takes less than 2 lines.

We need extra depth in the MF and we didn't address it.

 

Now let's get it together and make the rest of the season as positive as possible.

 

Or we can bitch and moan for the next 3 months.

 

 

 

Can we at least be negative about the Green and white strip?

Or we can think both things at the same time, because our brains have the capacity to do so, without being told off by a bunch of strangers for it.

I think the point is that most fans, at least in this board, accept that we're a bit light in midfield, no one has really disagreed on that point.

 

It's more the repetitive revelling in the "missed opportunity" that was the January transfer market.

Defy anyone to have predicted that at mid February we would have lost just 2 games of football so far, be 4th and have a legitimate shot at staying there and we'd be preparing for our first Cup Final in 24 years. This season has been a phenomenal effort from Howe and the team, they've entertained us and made us proud of the club again. There have been some results which have been frustrating obviously and maybe another player or 2 in the window would have been useful and it's fair to point it out.

 

But if people want to dwell on the very few negatives repeatedly rather than celebrate the positives then I really don't know what to say to them tbph. It's sport and sometimes it doesn't go perfectly and that's fine. I'd urge everyone to take a few steps back and have a look at what's been achieved by the team in it's entirety, it's an amazing transformation and it's going to get better and better as we build this club and team up - just try and fucking enjoy it :lol:

Eddie broke the PL-era record didn’t he? Took it from Pardew, no? Which made me throw up in my mouth 

Aye this is our longest top flight unbeaten run and joint longest ever in all leagues

I don’t really mind people questioning tactics, our transfer window, our substitutions etc. it’s all for game on a football forum. What I can’t be fucked with is knee-jerking reactions like “has Eddie peaked already and is it time for him to go?” What’s the point of following sport if the second you get an average result you want to torch the best thing about the last year

Can’t comment on others but I don’t think it was a missed opportunity, I think it was a needless gamble. Anyway, cases made.

For me it’s the whole “we have made a huge mistake not buying x and y in the window” and “the owners have made a serious mistake”, as if: 1. It is as simple as just buying your target in a tricky window 2. We have the capability to just spend whatever we want without considering FFP and 3. We didn’t make an attempt to bring anyone in. People tweeting the owners etc man, ffs. 
 

The plan is for evolution not revolution. Aye we have a good chance of getting into the top four, but say we spent £45 million on Gallagher and that comes out of the summer budget and we fail to get into the top four, where does that leave us? Why settle for players that the recruitment team and Howe don’t think will improve us as much as we’d like. 

 

I’d have loved us to strengthen further but there is a bigger picture and we are clearly looking at the long term. Let’s show some patience and enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

Not one of the septic 6 was going to loan us a player either, so it would have had to be someone from abroad. The only player that I thought may have been on was Maddison. Not sure the if's and why's of that one. Sounds like he has numerous suitors.
