18 points from 8 games, who the fuck saw that coming post Watford :lol: 

 

I said immediately after that game that I was a bit disappointed with him cos he wasn't giving us any sort of edge at all. Turns out that was totally wrong, and that edge has been gained on the training ground and through fashioning this incredibly functional 4-3-3.

 

Play well and win, play badly and win - the edge is definitely there now.

It sounds daft but it's so refreshing having a manager who can tailor plans based on the opposition rather than what our previous manager did.

 

Looked to me like a clear plan to allow Duffy possession on the ball because he's their worst footballer

What has been evident is we seem to have minimised our individual errors. We were making clumsy and comedic mistakes not so long ago that would lead to goals or fouls or penalties or even red cards. Everyone has been well drilled and discplined whil playing with focus.  Howe and the coaching team are doing some job. Well done.

Up against these three in the shortlist

 

Mikel ArtetaP3 W3 D0 L0 GD+3; Ralph Hasenhuttl: P4 W3 D1 L0 GD+5; Jurgen Klopp: P4 W4 D0 L0 GD+11.
 

Eddie Howe: P4 W3 D1 L0 GD+5.
Newcastle United moved out of the bottom three for the first time since September with 10 points from a possible 12. Howe's men beat relegation rivals Everton and Brentford in that run.

Yep, great point. We were absolute perverts for a points-dropping individual error, right up until the end of Watford. Basically none now.

The difference now is that even with an individual error players are well drilled enough to cover.

Up against managers doing jobs they should be with budgets/teams that should be getting those results.

Thought he left it a bit late to change things today, like.  Was clear from the beginning of the 2nd half we were struggling.

We looked jaded. Proactive team selection would have been helpful to overall performance

Think you’re going a bit far like, Keegan is in a league of his own for me, with Bobby in a league of his own after. Keegan wasn’t just a revolutionary figure for the club but just a man of pure class. I think Eddie has some of those classy qualities and if he wins something for us and stays for years he could prove to be right up there but let’s give him a few seasons first
