Yes. I think the CL is so broad that you can blood in younger players and as you say the money we’d get would be more or less the same. It’s a really great view but not one the manager subscribes to.

Bang on. Look at his team sheets the year they went down.

The point was Murphy came in as an absolute last resort, yet looked more than capable. Hall similarly had to wait until a lumbering, struggling Burn broke his back before coming in - and again looked more than ready. Kids of 15 and 16 are playing for the likes of City and Arsenal. These aren’t...

Thought he looked decent, in a difficult match. Way better than Burn has there. Makes me wonder are the likes of Harrison, Sanusi, Neave actualy good enough to be getting more game time. Howe seems so scared and the more scared he gets, the more he retreats into familiarity. Wouldn’t hate it if...

Rumours Brennan Johnson has been made available by spurs. If ever a player had Eddie Howe written all over them.

:emoticon-0114-dull:

No coincidence that our full backs, in this horrid 451, are being asked to cover as much pitch as a wing back. It’s really confused and puts such a burden on them. This formation isn’t working at all, and it’s injuring our best players. It surprises me Howe isn’t smart enough to see it. As...

Not sure what’s going on with this 451 mind. The numbers from our wide players are abysmal, aside from maybe Barnes, and this tactic is surely part of the reason. Can’t fathom why Howe is persevering.

Well, a win is a win. Not great, not dissimilar to the last Fulham game. Still not seeing any real identity or attacking plan. All the wingers are still playing between poor and gash. Stikers still isolated. Howe persevering with a horrible 4-5-1 formation. Not sure what we're supposed to be...

Never, ever going to happen.

and he’s at ****ing right back. Embarrassing from the forwards again for the most part.

Just popped up, been nearly half an hour since we had a shot.

Howe looks like such a prat on the sidelines these days. Hand on chin, just mumbling to Tindell. Get some ****ing passion man.

Phew for a minute there I thought we’d try something new, was a bit scared, but thankfully we’ve kept everything exactly the same and swapped players for more or less the same player.

How you can spend that money and have a midfielder at right back, a junior centre back at left back and not have a credible threat to the opposition goal from any of your paid for players is astonishing.
