Nothing about any of the other “big names” that he doesn’t have. He’s younger than most of them too. Merson was my favourite, when Eddie got the job "I just don't think he's the right man Jeff, the fans won't be happy with this appointment and them new owners at Newcastle don't really know what they're doing. It's going to be a disaster" 12 months later "oh he's fantastic Jeff, suits the club perfectly, the owners have done a brilliant job and the fans love him" Not to mention what he said about our signings last January, slagged everyone of them off.

midds Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Tonight's display just reinforces the impact that (likely) European football next season will have on us next season. If you've got 38 league games plus maybe 5 or 6 domestic cup games plus maybe another 10 or 12 games in Europe then you're ABSOLUTELY going to need to dip in and out of the squad to rest and rotate players for a 9 month season. Our first XI is great but the bench is ropey and after that it's simply poor. It needs quality and quantity over the next 3 windows or we're going to struggle to make an impact on the continent and it's also going to affect the League campaign simultaneously. We need 7 or 8 out and replaced with significantly better asap. It needs to start tomorrow as tonight has been dreadful, there's players who have tried hard tonight but only proved they're simply not good enough and nor will they ever be. They need to be moved on whether they like it or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 We do seem to be in a habit of trying to rescue / finish off cup games with most of our better players coming on for substantial game time. Same against Palace. Personally I’d prefer we started a stronger team and made changes if/when comfortable. Having Bruno, Trippier et al coming on to supply Wood, when they could have been supplying Isak for 45 mins, is a little painful. That said, if we make it through on Tuesday then I won’t be too upset. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) As incredible as he has been at making average players into great players, I hope he realised today that a lot of our squad are lost causes.

Dr Jinx Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 You don’t change your whole fucking backline, literally the cornerstone of all our success this season. A bunch of trauma centre coulda beens looked like it was their first time playing together because it actually was. By the time Eddie Howe reacted it was already too late. This one is on him.

Pilko Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Cross your fingers we get a PL side in next year's third round cos Eddie doesn't do League 1 teams. I kid of course. That was a stark reminder that whilst we've made great strides since the takeover, beyond the first 12-13 players we've got a raft of absolute divvies who we can't trust with anything kicking about. Yep, great lads in the dressing room etc I'm sure but to call them bang average would be overstating it hugely. It'll take another 4 windows to rid ourselves of all the Championship era dross & the likes of Murphy, Wood, Lewis etc which is the depressing thing. They'll cling on for dear life as they know their next contract will be a Championship team if they're lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 No issue today for me. Leicester was always the big one. Think we'll see our 'Premier League' team especially with 5 days between that and Fulham. Was shite finishing that cost him today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
