11th December should be date for rubber stamping Saudi getting the 2034 World Cup. Do we expect anything to start gathering pace post that date? Feels like needing to keep UEFA/FIFA onside means they’re not willing to rattle the cart much. It does however give us a long term view what Saudi are working towards.

I just can’t see how he turns this around.

If we’ve got no money to spend in January, we may as well let him have this season. Cup quarter final still come. If we have some money to spend, get rid of Howe as I just don’t trust him to spend it wisely. He looked like a beaten man when walking off at the end…

Normally when conceding so late it feels like 2 points loss. But this still feels like 1 point gained after that horrific performance.

Only argument I can find to keep him is that we have a quarter final of the cup to go… Starting to feel like I’m scraping the barrel.

Horrendous performance and result. Big couple of games coming up now after this result.

Second half has been Bruce-esque management. Just chuck players on without a clear formation and expect something to happen.

What formation are we playing?

His first reaction is always to back off.

Horrific.

Wilson I think

Yes, signed him before that change.

Crazy this went in. Some swerve!

Aye, still think it definitely went in! Same as I still think Joelinton’s goal went wide.

The clubs won’t vote to change the rules as there’s too many teams it benefits (the cartel clubs plus their gravy-train cucks). Unless they can compromise on the APT stuff then it feels like the legal route is the only route for this to go down.

Has to be the worst player of ‘heads or tails’. Has he lost every toss he’s been captain at home? Think he lost both tosses at Forest for the penalties as well…

As long as Saudi are awarded the World Cup in 2034 (they might have been already) then I don’t think we have anything to worry about.

Must win, then a positive result against Arsenal and everything changes

Yeah, we’re not finishing top 6 this season with Howe in charge. All down to the cups. Must win on Wednesday.

The amount of times I’ve seen this season where keepers play it long over our midfield to the striker who dropped deep. The gap between our defence and midfield has been there for a long time now and not solved. The flat midfield as well doesn’t give enough support to the striker. At least defence can be blamed on injuries and right wing on lack of investment

Tindall sorts the defence. Howe has said himself he’s more of the attacking half of the management team.

I’m torn between: 1) he deserves this season as still has enough credit in the bank, is a good manager, and it feels like the right thing to do against… 2) I just can’t see us becoming a regular top 4 side who wins trophies with him in charge. He seems too loyal and too stubborn to how modern successful clubs operate While we’re still in both cups and could finish top 6 then deserves that chance.

His first goal tonight reminded me a lot of his goal against Southampton away

Botman might return from an ACL injury quicker than this.

He’ll still be getting used to managing a club the size of what Newcastle is now. Even when he joined, he could control a lot as we were short of management bodies. In a recent interview he said how the biggest negative difference compared to Bournemouth is the difference in control he has. I’m with you and hope we have success under Howe. If we don’t then we’ll move on and have success with someone else. Our base compared to when we appointed Howe is significantly higher and he’ll forever have played a key part in any success when end up having.
