Almost entering pre-season... it's nearly December 😭

On Yoane Wissa.
'He's working well. He's working with the sports science team and is almost entering a pre-season with them. He's done a lot of work and looked better with every session. He's close to training with us, but before he gets there, it's difficult to give you a return date.'

Gordon. 'He has worked very hard over the break. He is touch-and-go, and we will make a decision on him today.'
Livramento. 'He is very close. He has trained in the break, which is great to see. He has been out a while - we need to treat him right.'
Pope and Tonali are fine.

That's a hell of a way to look at it. And so damn true.
The president is a pedophile. He must be removed from office and put on trial. The Epstein survivors deserve justice.

Right on loads of bits - it's not a Woltemade issue, but a full-back issue. Recruitment was to improve squad depth, but doesn't improve starting 11
But IMO also need to mention that intensity is lessened because we're trying to play possession football AND we could stop doing that with Burn&Tripps

Finally got round to watching this and it's excellent on where we're going wrong, why we're struggling and why there's no easy fix. But especially good on the fact that teams have not just worked us out but caught up with us. Bit depressing really. #nufc

I'm not sure changing the starting 11 would've had a huge impact today. Ramsey was the only real alternative, and he was on after 20mins anyway
But 75mins rolled around with Burn looking scared as fuck, Murphy non-existent and the team looking awful, yet Howe still didn't see fit to make subs

Ignoring results, the major concern I have with Howe's NUFC is that we're really genuinely shit at attacking
If we can press and force errors, we can create opportunities. If we can use set pieces to get our Big Lads on the end of a cross, we can use that
But what do we create from real football?

We've got players on the pitch to break down a low block
But we piss about with it, go sideways, threaten to play through the middle, go sideways again, then invariably lump a shite cross into the middle with zero intent
It's so fucking frustrating, so boring to watch
