The one thing that I get pi$$ed at, is the “Remember how bad the football was before Howe” as if it is only Howe that has brought success.

The obvious answer is “Remember how bad the investment was before Howe”

In terms of spending, we are 4th highest in the Prem since Eddie took over… I think we should f**king well expect better football.

I like Howe in terms of his ability to deal with the press (most of the time anyway) and his steady approach wether we win or lose, all good stuff, and he comes across as genuinely a very nice guy, but it’s a results based game… and like a fair few others have questioned, I do wonder if we have seen the best of Howe.

I’m sure I read that Bournemouth saw the similar attitude to sticking to his tactics and his favourite players when they got relegated… not saying that I think he’ll take us down, but I thought 14th was the lowest we could finish until Leeds beat Man Utd… and I’m not sure 14th is the lowest possible now.

14th!?!? I think it’s fair to say that no one expected us to be in this position now, injuries haven’t been as bad as that first season in the CL with him where we finished 8th, and we might, and hopefully/probably will, finish a bit higher… but after the Palace display I’m not confident we’ll get much in the remaining games…Bournemouth, Arsenal (a), Brighton, Forest(a), West Ham and Fulham (a)
