I’ll inform my Italian sister in law of your opinions as to my acceptance of our cousins from the Penisola appenninica …..

 

Tbh when the Whyte & Mckay gets cracked open she’d probably agree with you

Hit the post last night when he should have scored. 

Get rid.

It would appear PL’s opinion on what makes a good midfielder is akin to his opinion of what makes a good shirt 

[aimaad22 4933]

For someone stubborn and unable to amend his style of play, Howe sure does solve a lot of tactical problems. Not saying it was without hiccups but rarely anything is in football, no doubt the midfield structure will need to evolve again at some point but I for one am absolutely loving having a manager who's always thinking, working his socks off to get the best out of the team, besting much more fancied managers time after time.

I liked that post, but think the first sentence is utter bollocks, the rest is good though.

[Holden McGroin 7833]

Agreed. He tries to find a solution to win a football game. He is probably the least stubborn manager in the league.

I wasn’t the only one as this thread suggests. He wasn’t blending at the time and I thought at times he looked a bit disinterested. The solution is brilliant and has been key to the huge upturn in form over the last month. He’s now the player his flashes of skill suggested he would be. “Never in doubt”

If it's any consolation, I think I was a little hesitant about the signings of Gordon and Isak.

(I will never admit to having said this.)

Aye.

A lot of Bournemouth fans and a minority of our fans think he's stubborn.  He isnt. 

[Gemmill 51960]

Yeah TP was having problems with his reading comprehension yesterday. Same happened in the cricket thread. Probably the cold weather.
