    Neither of those two anywhere near comparable to Eddie Howe.

    If Vile lose their next two games it'll be their worst start to a prem campaign a i read somewhere.

    There next two games - Arsenal and Man City.

    He caught Celtic at a time of transition in a two-team league and got a bigger job than he was ready for (not that Rangers isn't a big job but the Prem is a different proposition).

    Between him, Lampard and Rodgers as to who gets the boot first, imo.

    There really isn’t any comparison and the press/pundits should be shouting Eddie’s name from the rooftops (along with Potter’s).
    Both of the latter have transformed their teams and, in Eddie’s case, in rapid time. 64% possession at Wolves (compared to cabbage??!!).

    Seems to be falling out with a few players, reminds me of another Anfield midfield legend who went into management…

    There is a difference between an ex player and a manager. Sure, some ex players can make good managers but there is a world of difference between having skills with the ball at your feet and the physical attributes to be a good player and having the brain to be able to come up with good strategies and tactics to be a successful manager

    Makes you realise how well we did in that 3-3. TBH, I think Haaland was just finding his touch so we probably played them at just the right time. Because I was obsessed with the guy before he left Dortmund, I was studying his movement in our match. In the 2nd half, it was frightening the way he makes a little shooting space in front of him for the ball to be played into and how unplayable he is in the air.

    The return visit to the Etihad should include a free diaper on every away seat...
