Iraola, Silva, McKenna, Southgate and Lampard haven't done anything to suggest they'd be any sort of upgrade on Howe.



I agree with your overall point. The candidates aren't inspiring.

But even if someone isn't an upgrade on Howe... if Howe's methods have become stale a new face can be a ...

Coach or players , something has to change next year. Mentality is so poor

Feels wrong but want Sunderland to win because lol spurs

Murphy in the attacking role is similar where he's happy being on the bench, however attackers are meant to be game changers and he's not able to change a game anymore. So I agree it's time to go.


We won't get any decent money for him and his wages won't be massive. If we get rid we'll have ...

Hard ones for me

Tonali -dont want another transfer saga which I feel it will be
Gordon - same
Tino - I love him... But his injuries scare me so maybe cash in

Who would be a good replacement? A realistic target


I don't follow broader football as closely nowadays but this is my question.
The elite clubs seem to suffer from a lack of top managers. If Liverpool, Man U can't find one, how can we?

Remember how Amorim's appointment was greeted warmly as ...

I'm seeing gossip about Tonali, Gordon and Bruno. City want Tino I think.

Got me wondering, is it maybe in the clubs interest to do a big reset? Sell the big names and reinvest in younger talent.
As I see it, we will have to find a solution from Nick/Wissa/Osula next year, too much invested to buy ...

I worry about nick how often he loses duels. Not just aerial ones but ball on the ground too. You can bully him off the ball

I think I prefer the appeals route to the time limit. The slight concern being that having made the appeal a subjective decision might be weighted in favour of the appealing team.

The whole thing is a can of worms regardless, it will never ever be a perfect system.


Only if managers get silly ...

I like the time limit and sticking to "clear and obvious". Not spending 5 mins searching for reasons to disallow.

I'd be fine with no VAR but it seems unlikely

From the BBC:

On how team-mates can help Nick Woltemade and Yohan Cabaye

They spelled Kebab wrong

We can seemingly either be free scoring and brilliant going forwards but lose all ability to defend completely. Or solid at the back, dominant in possession but lose all ability to create / finish chances. Need to try and find a bit of a balance.

4th 0-0 of the season, throw in the 1-0 defeat at ...

Why do I watch away matches?
