  1. Dont want to go through the whole match chat, but what were the names that Eddie was called etc? 

     

    There are (maybe)some valid points of criticism that people are raising, and then some good discussion on those points on "both sides". Hardly anyone has wanted him sacked or anything like that. Surely It is very hard not to like him as a Newcastle fan, whatever you think of Burn or Hall or anything?

     

    I have been thinking that it is almost a straw man or something imaginery when people raising some points get branded of hating Eddie etc. 

    But maybe there really are some name calling or this and that.

     

    Clearly the win ment a lot for Eddie today btw :thup:

    I swear Howe said he wanted a 'fluid' midfield three that just rotates when it needs to.

     

    Would he even use a 'DM' despite all the calls from fans for one?

    This is the thing. He is not using one, and that is why we have not signed a "6". The conversation of a 6 is pointless in a way, if he would want someone just protect the defense, surely Longstaff or Bruno would be asked to do it - even if its not their best position

    Pretty much been that way since about November. I've given up trying to reason with anyone, let them keep looking desperate defending him at all costs.

     

    Yesterday was some of the most basic, panicky, amateur football I've seen at SJP, we were lucky to grab a point. All you've got to do to beat us is play through the static mid or counter down our left with some pace, and its pathetic how easy we fold. We've enough players back now not to concede 4 at home against Luton. 

    Also, everyone is pointing out that we dont have naturaly defensive minded midfielder and that is correct. But i dont think it would matter who we had in the roster because no one is asked to do that job. That is why we dont have a "6", we dont play with one. 

     

    By the way, how did we do it last season? The midfield structure had to be little different? The answer cant be just that Joelinton is injured?

     

    That is where the frustration comes from, some things seems so obvious but nothing seems to change. 

     

    Well, let's win the cup and worry about these things in the summer.
