Amir_9 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He's made us really solid. I would have fancied us to finish 10th-11th or so if we had Trippier, Wilson and ASM without injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I thought losing Wilson and ASM at the same time would be a major blow for us we couldn't overcome... Eddie Howe has different views on this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 the work he’s done in such a short space of time has been quite simply remarkable. look at what he inherited ffs an unfit shambles of a team with a horrific mentality, zero confidence, and no identity. he’s changed absolutely everything on and off the pitch and deserves a huge amount of credit. PE teacher my arse. he’s a top manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation on my end, but for me he showed that he could identify what needed improvement after the first game. Although the changes weren't as radical as people on here wanted, I think he probably knew more changes were needed early on, but sacrificed it not to upset things too much.

Yeah quite possibly, we obviously don’t need to deal with the dressing room etc when we’re discussing things. Like dropping the captain etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Like Benetiz, I love knowing we have a manager that will already be formulating in his mind what we can improve on. The signings he has made and his own methods have changed the mentality of this team, which after Bunce, is a huge achievement. Looking at our fixtures, I've felt we needed to be safe by the time we play Norwich away. We're doing remarkably well to making that a reality.

Tiresias Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I have to give him so much credit getting us pressing up. I will defend Rafa's golden patch to hell and back but even that was a low block with runners. I doubted our players could adapt to this style but he has been patient, not paniced and gone 'back to basics' as no doubt half the pfm managers would. Most of all I was concerned he wouldnt help our defense. I was wrong. Edited February 26, 2022 by Tiresias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Sky interview after the game, he wasn't happy with how we used the ball, should have been better. Absolutely loved that, always wanting more. Edited February 26, 2022 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 He's brilliant. Done an outstanding job so far and has completely transformed us. The signings of Burn and Targett have been outstanding. Think he must've worked on the defensive side of his teams over the time out of the game he had, the trips to watch Simeone work at Atleti, et cetera. Completely trust him now, getting to the point where I don't care about what 11 he starts, especially after these results without Trippier, Wilson and ASM.

HaydnNUFC Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Those 4 defeats were games you'd probably expect to lose as well, Leicester away the most disappointing one of the lot given the season they're having. Only loss at home was to Man City in which the scoreline flattered the opposition. All 4 losses had utterly rancid refereeing against us too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
