That’s what I meant. I’d rather not qualify for anything other than CL (but I want us to win a cup and realise that may see us qualified for a competition I’d rather see us avoid).

Why would anyone want us to not qualify for Europe?  We might as well stop following football if qualifying for European competition is seen as a bogey prize.

Well football is more complex than we win = Howe is mint, we lose= Howe is shit.

 

We seem to go in this same circle every few weeks. We have a couple of tough results and "questions need to be asked", then Howe and the team put together a string of good results together and it makes people look a bit stupid again. Perhaps this time we just avoid the stupid bit?

 

Also this isn't a "can't criticise Howe" post, you can but you have to be more specific about what he's done wrong and then I'd still ask the question about why people would criticised him? To what end? 

 

The team has performed shite. I don't know why more needs to be said.[emoji38]

‘The team has performed shite’  you’ve said it yourself, yet you react when someone else calls it out. 
 

Maybe take two steps back, let other people have their opinions before calling them out?

You didn't say that. You said its on Howe. Very different. 

 

I've never said anyone isn't entitled to their opinion, in the same way I'm entitled to laugh at their opinion.

They’ve been shite and Trippier certainly got punished for his shitness. But I think it’s harsh to even single out individual players.
 

1-11 we’ve been awful and look clueless. So are they all just not putting it in. Or is there more to it? 
 

 

 

Trippier making it so easy for them on the first two goals just puts us in a hole so early.

 

Willock being so anonymous in the middle of the pitch both going forward and defending, just invites a ton of pressure.

 

I think the fact they were both yanked off at the half was a pretty clear indicator of what the manager thinks too.

The ‘streaky’ nature of the results are notable, mind.  But the vacillation between ‘he’s mint’ to ‘he’s shite’ definitely happens.  It tends not to change my view - he’s an excellent coach with some limitations.

Those limitations are what people are discussing if it will prevent us from taking a step up.

Given the outstanding success he's had, he can't have many limitations, unless but limitations you mean an over expectant fan base and a transfer kitty filled with moths.
