Barnes is pretty ****e also tbh.. Every week people think swapping a player will make a big difference, but the entire side is playing ****e and devoid of confidence.

The more I look at this squad and its options, the less I understand what Howe and his team were/are trying to build. It’s crap.

Can we go with two up top (Wolte and Wissa) from the start and see how it goes..... Something different please. So bored of pass it out to wingers, run 10 yards, turn back, pass to defender, get pressed, pass to keeper, pass to defender, hoofs it forward or out.

Nah. We need to double down on 433, because it worked before, and everybody needs to practice the one two near the corner of their box, because it worked before (a few times).

I’m telling you now if Howe moves to 442 - which is the only likely outcome of going with two up front - you might as well put a job post up for a new manager.
 
Well unless Brentford happen to put out City, Chelsea look like the best semi final draw for us should we get through this. Made hard work of it against Cardiff last night.
