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 If he stays with us for a few years and actually wins something I wouldn't just say he's "up there" If he does well, stays with us and wins us trophies he will surpass Keegan for me. There's nothing to suggest Keegan has/had more "class" than Howe for what I've seen so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 1 hour ago, Yorkie said: Yep, great point. We were absolute perverts for a points-dropping individual error, right up until the end of Watford. Basically none now. Fraser got it spot on in his interview. We do still make individual errors, but now we respond to them: “To a man, we fought and worked for each other. If somebody made a mistake, somebody else bailed them out. The togetherness is unbelievable." Largely the same players, but Howe has got them running through brick walls together. Bruce had them sat on brick walls eating their second lunch.

Dr Venkman Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 4 hours ago, Yorkie said: 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. The Edge is fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie has a long way to go to become a club legend but he’s well on his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 He puts the work in and it shows. I also appreciate how his message doesn't change. We're in great form and he could be lapping it up like some of our former managers would. Instead he doubles down and preaches the need for the same level of hard work, focus, and commitment. We've heard a few players - most notably Ryan Fraser - talk about the level of detail that goes into our preparation and I'm delighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Interesting comments from Howe post match, saying how aware they where that we have 4 consecutive away games coming so they knew how important it was to win. Think it explains the second half performance a bit more, and hopefully that pressure is released on Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) The man never has and never will rest on his laurels. It's not in his nature. None of this "letting our hair down" before a 0-5 howking like Pardew or taking massive credit for an occasional win and threatening reporters like Bruce. He's a workaholic and we're incredibly lucky to have him. There may come a time in the future when we need more to make the big leap, but i'd like to think he could be our boss for many years to come and we can achieve our goals with him and nobody would deserve it more.

joeyt Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 The run we've been on have been mostly without our marquee signings too of Bruno and Trippier He's done so well to get a tune out of the same squad that struggled so much at the start of the season with additional signings which wouldn't have looked out of place in the Ashley era (Wood, Burn, Targett). That's not to disrespect those players but it's not like we've bought our way out of trouble by signing superstars, it's still majority the same squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillingtonMag Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I love him absolute privilege to have him as our manager over the moon we didn't end up with Emry or Rafa back because honestly believe he is the man to end our trophy drought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Very good chance that once he finished the match, press duties, he’s had his post match meal and he’s already analyzing the match today either on his own or with the back room team and analysts. Unreal stuff. He’s focused every bit of waking hours to keeping us up in the PL. What a man. He’s doing that for us, our club, his players, and the trust the owners gave him. And the PFM friendly press tried to hound this guy out of football? Fuck off man. Love Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I have been so impressed with his mentality and his approach to things. After all the talk when he was hired of his inability to coach defence - and after that crazy 3-3 with Brentford - I was concerned about how he would coach and whether he had evolved in his methods. But he has shown without a doubt how much he’s improved as a coach, we are so much more competent in every phase of the game. We defend with a purpose and with composure, even without Trippier or having bought our preferred CBs. I remember Klopp, I think it was, talking about his team being a “mentality monster” and it seems to me that Howe has us headed in that direction. We are hard to play against but we also retain a creative outlet going forward. Even under Rafa, we often didn’t do both. We seem to have belief and composure. He has raised the level of play from everyone and eased the pressure that was all-consuming. Unbelievable professionalism. I think he’s a great fit, his attitude and even-tempered nature help to keep the lid on what can be a boiling atmosphere at the club. He deserves a lot of credit and I think he can grow as a manager alongside us as a club. Terrific job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Mental that “the bloke who got Bournemouth relegated” is doing a job that the fat, odious cunt who has somehow shithoused their way to managing 1000 off games could only dream of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) He’s probably in the running for manager of the year if we finish 12th-14th or so. How many games did we jizz off before he came in? Edited March 6, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Another lead turned into a win, pretty much without any risk of an equalizer. No saves by Dubs, shots off the post, folk tripping up when clear through etc. Up to the dizzy heights of 1.6 points a game where we take the lead. Still comfortably bottom three, but now above Burnley and Leeds. I didn't notice before the game, but Brighton have won 7 out of 8 when taking the lead, so it was important to get that first goal. https://www.transfermarkt.com/premier-league/punktenachfuehrung/wettbewerb/GB1/saison_id/2021/spiele/alle/plus/1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
