Some will probably try to tell you that Tonali is playing like this because Howe had him on the bench last few games, so this somehow proves that he managed him perfectly. As if he wasn't a good player before he was benched.

 

 

 

 

I called this a while ago btw.

I mean just becuase you "Called it" doesn't mean its not necessarily true like, that literally proves nothing 

Its like saying when your stomach rumbles "I'll need a shit later".   

[Smal]

nobody ever cares if you “called it”

It's more like knowing someone will desperately try to frame everything in a certain way having seen it before, so you know exactly what it's going to be. You're right though, it was predictable.

"Desperately"  

 

Come on man, people can have different opinions to you, you don't need to be really condescending about it, personally I think you're wrong.

[Aiston]

Absolutely class again.

If Tonali does well after sitting on the bench, there was allways going to be someone trying to say that it was a result of him being benched. The thing is, maybe he would have played like this if we had given him the run earlier? I also think there has to be a distinction made for each case. For example the Hall and Livra situation was wildly different to the Tonali situation.

Howes man management shines again 

[David Edgar]

He's our best player.

Was anyone saying that ? Can't say I noticed. I was wanting him played more but could understand why he didn't as it often didn't work, him and Bruno together that is.

Tonalis class shines again you mean. 

[pubteam]

I reckon his heat map is just a giant red rectangle by now.

There is a difference between "Being benched" and being eased in like, he started 7 of the last 11 Premier League games, and a couple of the game he didn't start we:

 

A) Won the game.

B) Was after a couple of games in a row where he played or an straight after an international break. 

 

Just because you don't agree, doesn't mean its necessarily wrong.  

 

Also, he's fucking quality.

Nar, Howe has played a blinder with him, he could have burned him out by now by playing him every minute, but he's used him perfectly 

[andycap]

The games he started though majority he was dragged off first every match even if Joe or Bruno where having stinkers. 

[Lush Vlad]

That engine. The commentator was saying how we looked leggy around 92 minutes. During which time Tonali had just sprinted back 30 yards or so. Then hounded the Brentford player all the way to the touchline until he pressured him into losing the ball. 
 

Leggy  

[Conjo]

Masterstroke by Howe to ease Tonali into the team after his suspension. Fucking godlike today.

[The Butcher]

Masterstroke? We're 12th.

 

He should've played much more than he has.

[Steve Charlton]

Part of the Caporegime now thats for sure

 

Bruno Captain

Joelinton Enforcer

Time for your bed I think 

[LionOfGosforth]

Could argue if Eddie had eased him in slightly slower, he'd have played a bit better at Chelsea in October, lessons to be learned
