It's this sort of bollocks that's putting me off this place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 It takes incredible levels of stupidity to send a team out second half like that after watching Spurs dismantle a high line against Everton a couple of weeks ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillingtonMag Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Well he has a clean slate for his line up next week because could drop any one of them. Hopefully we see Bruno start and not lose his place again because he is head and shoulders above all 3 of our starting midfielders today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 At least Sky are happy that one of their favourites got the points. The status quo is preserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he got it wrong today but typical nufc fans overreacting to a loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH knows what he's doing, he's proved it before dragging this squad from certain relegation to (almost) certain safety. He got it about as wrong today as it's possible to, almost feel like anyone could have come up with a better game plan but he's earned the respect and trust and he'll recognize today was a total disaster and hopefully get it right. Cruel run with 4 consecutive away games like, thankful we won one of them tbh. Edited April 3, 2022 by LionOfGosforth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, we have sprinkles of quality, but most of our squad is wank. He’s got until the end of next season for me. I will decide whether he’s good enough when the dead weight has been shifted and our squad should be capable of a top 10 finish, with some decent cup results.

He deserves stick for today. The tactics in the 2nd half were akin to what Everton adopted and they conceded 5 to Spurs as well. I still love him and am 100% behind him. You can give criticism for shit performances whilst still being chuffed with him being in charge, you know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Eddie, what ye deein? That was the exact opposite of how I expected us to set up. The one team where you need to sit back, play on the counter and whatever you do, don't leave space in behind. Dan Burn and Fabian Schar on the half way line. Would love to know what the successful version of today's tactics looked like, because I can't even imagine them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves is huge now. Needs to set us up properly and make key decisions (banish Manquillo, Bruno to start & drop Maxi) otherwise we'll get dragged into it again before we know it. Good to see you back posting about him. Been a tough time for you since Christmas up until the last few weeks. Snide stuff like your first paragraph shows your agenda for what it is. Pathetic. If you can't see how much he's lifted them and that without that we'd be down already maybe you need to spend your weekends watching something other than nufc. The club doesn't need "supporters" like you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Feel like the result was more to do with that 15 minutes of madness where the players positioning & composure went to pot for no real reason then anything Howe did. Although Shelvey at CB was weird, that said we didn't concede when he was playing there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
