Agreed but its happened and I think they have recruited poorly off the back of it when they had a real chance to strengthen there position.I doubt they were planning to be in top 4 last season. They can’t have foreseen Chelsea imploding and the scousers dropping off a cliff.
They need to dump Almiron. His 6 week purple has ended.Agreed but its happened and I think they have recruited poorly off the back of it when they had a real chance to strengthen there position.
Hopefully not, he deserves the full season.Could Howe be in trouble if they can’t qualify out of their tough CL group, get knocked out of the Carabao Cup and be 8th at Xmas?
Guess we might learn how ruthless their owners are.
Really tough for them, but they should be absolutely relishing the test.
I hope you smash it mate.We are relishing it. It could hardly have been any tougher but why qualify if you're going to moan about who you have to play. I don't expect too much from us as I hope that we make playing in it next season a higher priority than how we get on this season. We need to qualify for Europe regularly if we're going to grow the club.

Going to bugger up their PL campaign big time.There group reminded me of City’s draw when we first qualified
Should have gone for Mitoma.I'm pleased with our recruitment. Hall should replace 31 year old and very limited Dan Burn at left-back, Livramento should replace soon to be 33 year old Trippier at right-back, Tonali has pushed Longstaff out of our starting 11 and hopefully Barnes starts on our left with Gordon moving to the right to replace Almiron who I would sell if we receive a half decent offer.
Our next purchase needs to be a pacey ball playing replacement for Schar at right centre-back and then we need to spend on single quality upgrades to push starters on to the bench. We really could do with a Peter Beardsley type player who can offer something different and unlock teams as we’re far too one dimensional and seem to replace like for like.
Jesus, saw the Toons' group last night. What with being drawn against the best club side in the world for a domestic cup competition — in effect, a Tie of Death — and now this Group of Death, they must be wondering what they've done to anger the god of football.
I’d say that Almiron and Joelington need to be replaced too if you are striving to get to the next level.I'm pleased with our recruitment.
