    I don’t want him out. I just want to him to learn from his obvious mistakes.

    Some of which are:
    4-4-2 doesn’t work.
    Krafth isn’t a centre back.
    ASM is not a striker or central midfielder.
    Ritchie is done and not a left back.
    Fraser is **** and his only position is left wing.
    Miggy should be starting even though he needs to improve.
    Manq is not a left back.
    Joelinton is not a CM however he has been playing well.
    Shelvey and Lascelles are not always first choice.
    Yesterday was a mess and he made the biggest mistake so far. The worst result in over 11 years.
    And finally…….
    Start getting results or the topic becomes one which we all don’t want really!

    The most frightening aspect of this is that every point applied to ****ing Bruce too.

    Howe has been utter ****.

    If we look at how the squad has been assembled over a number of years - and I'm not laying the blame at Bruce here.

    We have

    4 x gk
    2 x rb (not rwb)
    1 x lwb
    5 x cb
    2 x lw
    2 x rw
    1 x dcm
    5 x cm
    1 x Almiron - coz I haven't got a ****ing clue anymore where this ****s meant to play
    1 x Joelinton - see above
    2 x strikers

    There's no apparent ****ing shape or thought process at all

    we have wingers as wing backs some times
    strikers as central midfielders
    midfielders as defenders and on occasion rwb
    and going by our season so far I wish some **** would just play our keepers up front too, would make no difference at the back as they've been **** all year.

    Howe's just an attacking version of bruce but he's got the same crap squad so it's unfair to expect any different right now.

    I said before he even joined, managers schooled by the FA tend to be useless. Because the FA are useless. I've seen it first hand, the coaching material is utter crap (at grassroots level) so why should it be decent at a higher level? The FA rely heavily - if not entirely - on the individual qualities of a player rather than any kind of coaching acumen. So unless they go out of their way to school themselves abroad or with foreign influence, they tend to all be the same.

    Absolutely gutted we didn't get Emery. I think we'd be facing Luton and sitting at least 16th if he'd joined.

    I'm not. Don't like the guy and was underwhelmed when I learned we'd approached him. Imagine my initial thought process when it was Howe that got the gig. That being said, I'll support him.

    My thoughts where Howe did it happen.

    He’s not shown me anything on the pitch that has improved things yet.

    But I’m obviously not seeing things the same as the majority.

    The fitness levels are better without doubt, they're no longer blowing out their arses after 20 minutes.

    The defensive **** ups are no longer taking place 20 yards away from goal, they now take place 6 yards away from goal.

    Rather than it being Darlow dropping clangers week in week out it's now Martin Dubravka dropping clangers every week. After said **** up rather than ensuring his hair is back in place like Darlow, Dubravka rolls around the floor like he's just been sparked by Mike Tyson.

    Oh and rather than Willock playing **** in midfield its now Longstaff.

    On a positive note, Joelinton has turned into a better player than Patrick Viera and Vincent Kompany combined in their prime. <laugh>

    Howe one of the favourites to be sacked. Both him and Rafa could be sacked at a similar time. It makes sense.

    I would rather burn my own nut sack off with a lighter. I blame this entire cluster **** on that little fat bastard. He's strung the consortium along till something closer to home came along and that's why there is no grand plan.

    His football was ****e and his transfers were even worse - I hope he sits on specs and breaks them.
