Is this not when he should be showing his management skills.
Even adopt a sean dyche approach ?
He had a sulk with Ryan Fraser remember, he was a great engine for them,could be difference between mid table or the drop.

Comes back to the argument, do you show pragmatism and adapt your approach to suit the players you have or stick to your principles and accept that mistakes will happen? Bournemouth have gone for the latter.

I think Howe has and is fostering a certain playing style and a certain culture down there that, they believe, will reap rewards long term. It’s certainly paid off for them to date. But if you try and play that style of Football without top level players, you’ll always struggle at times.

Inevitably it means that they go through spells like this, which they have done as long as they’ve been in the league. They always finish strong and never struggle. I think for them it’s got to be a long term project to remain a Premier League team and to be seen as a place where top young players can go and get regular game time and be taught how to play how top teams should play. Pressing, attractive Football on the deck. They don’t get that at a Burnley or a Palace.

Brighton are doing something similar with Graham Potter. These clubs want to encourage young players to see them as a stepping stone to better things. Look at Harry Wilson who has done really well there on loan, he’ll likely go back and go straight into the Liverpool team.

Be quite happy if Bournemouth go down tbh

OK, If they do, I’ll donate £100 to a charity of your choice.

If they don’t, you’ve got to have a picture of Eddie Howe as your avatar for the duration of next season, yeah?

Not the whole season, I couldnt cope.

50 quid and till xmas.

No doubt.
But if all these stepping stone players take the Ryan Fraser attitude they'll be goosed.

Mooy looked great today. He's on loan from Huddersfield who won't be back up next year and will be looking to get rid. Definitely could do worse.

Can run a midfield, good engine, box to box, always wants the ball.

Not gifted with pace but neither do most our midfield. But we've only got Gomes who is similar and when he's not there, it's a glaring hole missing.

Carlo doesn't have to get Mooy, but someone similar would massively help

I hope they go and Norwich stay up

Palace have a goal disallowed for offside that’s somehow even more ridiculous than the Brighton one. Someone needs to get a grip of VAR and offsides

Just noticed that Norwich Spurs match is on Sky One at 5.30. So even the most basic package will have it. Nice one.

Dean Smith will be the next to get the bullet.
Reckon Villa will go straight back down with Norwich and Bournemouth

You can get it for free if you have Now TV.

Attacking formation for us.

Hope Norwich can beat Spurs

Later game (Burnley vs. Man United) is on BT as well today. Surprised West Ham versus Leicester not being on TV even though it's a late kick off.

You should have enough to beat these, but the whole José and Spurs thing really doesn't feel a good match at all. He'll get you wins, but at what cost?

Decent pen save from Fabianski from a gray pen

 

[Goat]

Nothing side Leicester without that little rat up top.

 

[Ring master]

That pen miss
