Burn did play well tonight. But I guarantee if our team consisted of them 3 every week, every week one of them would be at fault for something idiotic. I think game had been a massive make or break for Europe.
We have a situation that running around all game pointlessly is crippling our entire side, but we simply throw more players into the grinder. If Howe was a commander, he'd love sending his soldiers over the top. "20,000 lost souls in 20 mins? Bad luck."
I only had the radio for this, but all I heard was "....to Longstaff....oh, he's not found xxxxx", or "Longstaff on the ball.....now Everton have it back". I didn't watch the useless knacker but he sounded like an absolute liability (again).
On another day we score 3 or 4 goals and win that comfortably. I can’t blame Howe for that mate. Nor can we blame him for Dummets decision. Maybe Howe should not have put him on the pitch in the first place. We missed so many good chances and we pay the price for that. The stats show we where the better side.
He was useless even a decade ago... the upith players would've been a better way fwd... needed legs. Howe is possibly the worst manager I've ever seem when it comes to squad management and in game management.
I said with the West Ham game, the players we have, all we can do is attack and try and ride the crest of a wave. I said that Isak dropping off a little helped massively. But none of that seemed to happen. So if we're too tired for that, go 5-3-2 or similar and try to just be patient, or counter. I just cannot understand why Howe seems to have one "tactic". Didn't he spend 3 years travelling around places like Atletico Madrid to try and learn??
Longstaff is the worst player in the league.. I don't think he would succeed in the championship. He's absolutely dreadful.
What are we thinking of by giving Dummett another years contract. He's 5th best by a mile and that pen he gave away was a joke as the ball was going nowhere near Young. Clown.
The youth and squad are so bad, that apparently we STILL need two keepers on the bench. Why are people like White and Murphy even there if this ****ing idiot manager is just going to leave Longstaff on, or putting Dummett on? It was the youth he doesn't trust who saved us Saturday, yet the second he reverts to his 'loyal characters' we draw with a ****ing awful Everton. Howe just cannot, or will not, learn.
I find it tough to be hard on Dummett to be quite frank. He shouldn't even be at the club. Much like Longstaff, he shouldn't be playing every single game. We have to spend some ****ing money soon
I absolutely agree and this manager has gone full Southgate with Burn and Longstaff. It is absolutely shocking how poor Longstaff is. He's the least gifted player I've ever seen get so many games. He is absolutely appallingly bad and doesn't even look like a professional footballer. He looks like a fan that's won a competition to play.
