    It's a process we have to go through and it means we might get worse in areas before we go fwd. It happens and let's not forget our lot haven't played anything but boot and run since promotion.

    It'll be fine even if we go down I dont really mind. The futures bright that's all I care about.

    If we're like 10 points adrift they can forget anything like that.

    No top players will come, so they might aswel start building a side for the championship promotion push.. Get them playing together for an extra 12 weeks before preseason

    Our best chance on Thursday and Sunday is to deploy our 4 keepers 4 centre backs and 2 wing backs and Wilson.

    It’s currently looking pitch black.

    But yes at least we are in a position to clear out some of the players that are milking the club.

    I don’t doubt the players effort. But I’ve played football with better players than some of them just not as fit.

    I also agree it’s s process. I just hope Howe is learning and realising what he’s got.

    Does anyone else think max is readying for a move?

    Looks like he's sick of it here

    I've loved the guy at times but not now. Time to shift him on for the balance of the team.

    How is it looking pitch black?

    We've got owners worth hundreds of billions so eventually we'll get promoted and go from there.

    I'm not sure I think there's around 20 players I'd get rid of 1st.

    We need to keep our correct better players until they're the ****test ones and then move them on

    So your saying they don’t really have a clue what they are doing.

    Because atm I don’t think they actually do.

    They have to start doing these so called changes. In the right places.

    No DoF worries me. And this crap about taking time to get it right is another way of saying we don’t know what the **** we are doing.

    We need every single mercenary out there come Jan and **** FFP. Dembele, Icardi,
    Hate to tell you this mate, but for me he is one of the ****test ones presently. He just never looks up and passes or crosses man.

    You say eventually and I agree. But at the moment it’s very dark. We are going to change I agree.

    But this set of players is clearly not good enough for this league now. I hope we get some new recruits in Jan. but I can’t see many wanting it.

    Well he's not mate he's got goals and assists. He's been poor though but there's much worse in our squad.

    He can leave. He’s not the player I thought he was. He creates us as many problems as solves them.

    He’s a luxury player and in the modern game no team can cope with an enigma that doesn’t stick to the tactic.

    He looks good on the eye but he’s just a liability.

    I have to say mind I was very concerned going into this simply because of how confident our fans were. That's usually a sign of being destroyed.

    Can't see anyone being too confident vs Liverpool, so we might only lose by 2

    I think fans are fickle there.. Why not focus on ****e like Fraser 1st.

    What you do is build a collection of players than are good enough.. Chopping and changing your better ones doesn't strengthed the squad because you've still got Fraser when you could've had max as back up

    So get people in who do.

    I also don’t buy this “it happened quickly” lark either. They seem to dally making the decisions which means that they didn’t have a plan to start with.

    If they had a plan it didn’t matter how long it took for the takeover. The plan still remains.

    It’s all just a little bit weird.

    Back four, average though it is, picks itself with Manq, Schar, Fede and Lewis.

    Hayden is **** but he’s a DM, Then have Almiron, Willock or Longstaff ahead of him. Shelvey changes the play for the worst and needs to be out. Then it’s Almiron left, Wilson middle and Joelinton right. Hard workers is now we get out of this, or stay in touch. Just for the love of Christ stop playing 2 cms.

    Then set about replacing Gayle, Fraser, Hendricks, Clark, Ritchie and Shelvey with PL quality players to let the dross in the starting line up shuffle back to the reserves.

    Apart from one is naturally left sided and one is right sided.

    I'm going to say this is as usual an emotional over reaction from numbers.

    We're 3 points adrift on we go.
