Amir_9 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) If after today it isn't clear to everyone that he isn't the issue then I don't know what is. I say this despite disagreeing with his starting line up today. I'd be happy to see him stay here as he has experience working with top quality players in the highest level possible. We need a new manager and some Premier League quality players in and quick, as well as totally different game plan. Others have changed, we haven't.

Thomson Mouse Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Seriously, he’s a coach, clearly a good one.

The fact that he selects players who are an obvious weakness to the team. The fact he holds off making substitutes causing confusion within the team. The fact that we currently have no threat whatsoever as an attacking force and the fact the last two games we could easily have conceded five in both despite attempting to set us up to be more solid.

You've just picked his faults as a manager, not a coach. He's not a manager. And if he stays at NUFC he won't be the only coach our new manager will bring in.

nufc4eva Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 He's had 2 games to try and cobble a team together. Even if he was here with Bruce he wasn't calling the shots so unfair to judge him based on that shit show. He's probably not right to be manager because he is a coach and by looks of it a very respected one. He hasn't chosen to manage us, he has stepped in to help and I think people need patience. Frustrating as it is, this team isn't good enough, we knew that even with Bruce making things worse. A load of the players should have gone after promotion under Rafa and are playing a league above their level - Clark, Ritchie, Manquillo, Darlow, Shelvey, Hayden and Longstaff are possibly championship at best. He could have picked Schar or Fernandez but would that have changed that result when your midfield and full backs are shit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think he was coaching the team also the last two weeks or was Agnew promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 You could tell by his body language that Schar thought Bruce was beneath him. A proper manager will use him properly, completely drop any idea of shelvey and set up so Schar can launch the ball for the actual footballers to chase. His attitude is a problem but it’s a solvable problem and he has genuine quality, as well as being a decent defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones is not the problem at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeepShow4life Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 For the people sticking up for Jones, don't you think it's worrying that after all his time with us, he still thinks Clarke and Krafth should be playing ahead of Schar and Fernandez? Thinks it's a good idea to play Ritchie at LWB. Thinks Maximum can play well through the middle, thinks it's a good idea to bring Shelvey on etc. We were blaming Bruce and not Jones for our tactics but since Bruce has gone, we are playing the same players with the same tactics, so it's obvious he had a lot more input than we believed under Bruce.

mouldy_uk Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Are people seriously annoyed with our caretaker manager (who isn’t even a manager), who is managing a championship level team, who haven’t won a game all season and have zero confidence for not going all out at the European Champions How can you expect a midfield of Longstaff and Fraiser to press, when they can barely jog from one end to the other without bursting a lung.

jackyboy Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Taking over after 2 years of Bruce demolition is one hell of a task for any manager. Jones is doing what he feels is the best way. He has said that Willock had been played with pain killing injections so he's trying not push the lad. Ryan Fraser is a player he knows well and he feels he can do a job. Considering how much he's played it will take a few games to get up to speed. When Rafa was here he had to rely on Joselu so goals weren't going to come easy so Rafa stopped us from getting battered every week because he knew it could all come down to goal difference. I've no doubt that Jones sees things in a similar way. Give the guy some credit, he's being professional and trying to drag us up out of the gutter and that will take time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 For me as a coach he is just as culpable as the other coaches. Nothing has changed from the time before he arrived to now, well actually, we look even worse if that is possible. Really don’t see where the “he’s a good coach comes from” he seems just as run of the mill as all the others we have. We can only go off how crap, lost, clueless and unfit our players look, and we are up there with the worst we have ever looked. That has to come down to the coaching methods.

I agree that the chat about Jones is getting a bit ott and that none of it is actually his fault but I don’t see why he’s picking the same 11 essentially that has lost every week under Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, not digging at him being a manager, it’s more for me he needs to go with the rest of the coaches when a new guy comes in. The new manager has to have his own team with him, not have someone else’s hanging around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
