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.
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.
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.
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.
7 points from 5 all that's needed mathematically, 5 if anyone draws a game in the run in... Point against the gooners would be huge!
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.
From worried to tizzy without any suggestions of either at my end. I would make a case the people mentioning such things are using mental gymnastics.
