I'm not bothered but I'd like I said initially prefer to have played the side that's being getting rinsed... ie the known entity.

Side that have taken 1 point from their last 5 games, and are about to appoint a useless hoof ball knacker of a manager? I ain't worried.

There seems to be a misunderstanding from the pair of you. I don't recall saying anything about being worried.

Would howe prefer to prepare for the known or the unknown?

Did say you were worried, just said I'm not.

Roy Hodgson might have some life left at Palace, but Allardyce is ancient history and smacks of complete desperation. Plus Allardyce will be inheriting a team used to playing attractive football, and not his tedious hoof ball.

my question?
 
Every game can be argued to be unknown, as a team may mix tactics, changes the team, blah blah.

We're familiar with these Leeds players, have a whole season of analysis of them to use to prepare for the match.

Would it be easier to prepare without a manager change? Come on now.

Howe has commented on this in the past himself btw.
 
I can just imagine EH picking up the fat sham folder
A single piece of paper with one sentence on it :biggrin:
 
Why would he bother analysing anything when it can be different anyway?

Yes it would be perfectly easy to prepare for a manger change in this case.

Everyone knows what will happen with Fat Sam - 90 mins of cack-handed hoofing.
 
You just said it changes every week anyway so there's no need to prepare surely?

I'm getting dizzy here....

Oh course there's need to prepare like there is in every game.

My point was I don't see this being a huge new manager jolt to life, as they've just unearthed a fossil from the Jurassic period.

So then you agree it's now more difficult to prepare.

We can't be sure what the impact will be and that's the entire point.. it's just not as easy to prepare for.

No. As the better team we should dictate the tactics and have the quality to adapt if and when necessary.

We prepare for all possibilities which I would expect we would do anyway.

So you're saying howe doesn't analyse the opposition? Is he Steve Bruce?
