I’m still not remotely convinced that livramento is worth picking over trippier.

 

He isn't if you're playing him alongside Longstaff and Murphy down that side.

It's really hard to see what we're trying to do when we attack, it seems like the entire strategy so far this season is give it to Gordon and see if he does something. 

 

Teams have worked out that letting us have the ball is a pretty decent idea, we've got Joelinton, Murphy and Longstaff as part of our group of players trying to play football and break teams down.

And people on here were against signing a RW saying it wasn’t a priority 

 

Were they?

[Alberto2005]

Hopefully that Barnes and Tonali chat means they're both coming on.

[Aiston]

Tonali to Barnes: "We always have to wait 60 minutes?"

Livramento just wants to sprint onto a ball...always under hit for that by Murphy though

 

He's no where near Trips level yet

Isak is such a lax player. 

Such a berbatov vibe about him. He’ll do nowt for 70 mins and spring to life and pull us out the shit.

[thomas]

mitchell and eales already dreading the barely coherent death tweets aimed their way at half time

[Turnbull2000]

Diabolical that. If we don't see Barnes or Tonali early in the second half, this game is gone. I genuinely thought we would perform today and turn a corner on away performances.

[SiLvOR]

He'll never do it, but Tonali on at half time is so bloody obvious

Murphy's poor but he'd more useful if Tonali was starting. Isak again completely isolated 

 

That's been one of the biggest issues in every single game this season. Hasn't been solved as of yet.

[Novocastrian]

Carbon copy of Bournemouth away. Dogshit.

[Beren]

That is galling.

 

Wolves look so poor. Burn covering at LB for the goal, dragged out of position, and Hall jogs back and doesn't cover for him.

 

Very little tempo. Murphy a non-factor.

 

Three points still very much available but Howe going the unnecessarily hard way again. This would be such a shit 3 or 2 points to drop with our aspirations.

He is but not as someone who is inverting. Not sure what Eddie is thinking with that.

We need Trippier on as soon as possible. Which I guess in Howe's world is 60 minutes.

 

Even less pace in the defence. Wonderful.

[Holmesy]

All fart, more fart

[BeloEmre]

Thank you for nothing again Eddie.

Of course it was a factor, but again he lost it at the other end of the pitch. There were an awful lot of other players who didn’t do their jobs for that goal to occur. But fine keep your pitchforks out for your scapegoats. Fucking worse than Grand Old Team in the match threads on here sometimes

it's not scapegoating when it's happened 4 times prior in this match alone, not to mention that's his level in general

 

fwiw, I put this 90% on Howe as we have a far superior technician rotting on the bench for some reason

And basically every away game last season.

Howe seriously needs to change his approach, man. Can't be having your two CMs press on their own, then always leave one back (Longstaff that time) at best who's then dealing with 3+ runners. ETH stuff this.

It’s like so many managers have sussed it now and he’s not willing to gamble and change - we know he can as he did back end of last season and it worked a few times. This season though Howe has looked one dimensional as a manager so far to be honest.

[CPL]

Poor team selection. Hard to defend Howe on this instance. 

[Numbers]

Longstaff and Murphy dogshit as usual. 

 

Similar to the rest of the games this season, shite

This is fucking abysmal mind. The midfield are all over the place.

When aren’t they? When have we controlled games in midfield? I can’t think of one game in recent memory.

Murphy is just fucking shit.

I have no fucking idea why people think playing him ahead of Almirón is a better alternative.

[Craig]

Doesn't help that they can foul Gordon at will
