It's the performances for me that are the most concerning. It's a definite trend and that trend is a mid table side. We dont have an identity, a way of player. Howe says we are transitioning, wish the media ask him what style of play does he want us to transition to and why?
Maybe one that will incorporate Nick and Wissa.

Pepball... Howe is obsessed with man city and he licks peps arse at every opportunity.
 
I never said otherwise.. Just highlighted a massive flaw in your post.
But surely if he was obsessed with Pepball, he'd just a second rate imitiation and unable to beat the real thing? Which he has twice. And even when we've lost recently it's been close 2-3 and 3-4 games.

A far cry of a year or so prior to Howe, when City were hammering us 5-0.

It's pretty obvious watching what he's trying to evolve too.
 
It's a brand going out of fashion.. Even pep has moved away from it to a degree.

I know this, but I don’t see anything in Howe remotely resembling forward thinking or evolution of football. We had periods of regression last year, when reverting to type saved his bacon before a poor end of season. It’s that form, that style, that has carried over and I don’t see the players really wanting to work for him.

The difference is Pep keeps evolving. All howes doing is trying to copy!!

I'm not sure I get the Pep comparison tbh, all I meant was that if Howe turns out anything like Pep in terms of trophies, then happy days.

Some problems this season, but that's what it is. Guy is clearly far more than a failing Pep wannabe.

Anyway, game in a few mins.
