Eh? He made an arse of it today - don't see anyone suggesting otherwise? Totally ignoring the period and changes he's made since the Cambridge game because "today". Yes mate he definitely hasn't rebuilt anyone's confidence, joelinton, Fraser, anybody. You just have to listen to them to hear how he hasn't done it. We've had a hiding today, but at least you've got something out of it. I'll leave it there because you're clearly as thick as a castle wall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave away a daft mistake and then they got the quick fire 3rd and it was all over. Point is he’s done little wrong and has us moving in the right direction. Performances last 2 games before today deserved 3 or 4 points, yet there’s people popping up in here with digs who’ve barely said a word in this thread since Cambridge just waiting for the opportunity. Exactly, complete goons, the lad is brilliant & im absolutely proud hes our manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't even acknowledge that losing 5-1 might suggest that something about our plan went awry, that's not my problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I don't think the new owners require the same cajoling as Mike Ashley, bit zooming out, surely this is ideal: 1) Win a bunch of games to lift us out of the relegation zone and demonstrate Howe's credentials 2) Demonstrate the gulf in class between Newcastle and the top half, and the scale of nvestment required over the summer Not saying it's intentional, but working out nicely.

Kid Icarus Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 What a drip I literally love Howe, have said that he's set us up in ways that I haven't understood until it's worked. We set up in a way that plays to Spurs'strengths, we lose 5-1 and wonder what Howe's intention was and people can't even handle that let alone actual criticism. Absolute bairn craic.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Really poor result, I hope Howe remembers this performance when summer arrives. We really need to be ruthless with the majority of this squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) I love a bit of Howe as much as the next man, but the second half tactics were at best, naive. If you push that high up the pitch away to Spurs they'll take you apart, Everton was a warning of that. Edited April 3, 2022 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 He’s just acknowledged that becoming expansive is what cost us. At least he can see where it went wrong. Previously clueless cretins in charge wouldn’t notice that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Well would you look at that. Admitting that we played in a way that you can't against Spurs and were too expansive. Fair play Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpeth mag Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Just goes to show how far we have to go to challenge the top four places. Need to play Bruno. I thought the second half Howe was trying to see how he could play both Bruno and Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Changing the defence was weird when we went 2-1 down, suppose he thought we had to go more attacking. Just led to loads of space that spurs could exploit. Saying that, can’t see any scenario in which our lineup reliably beats their lineup, they’re in a different league.

NE27 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Disappointing result but the 9 game streak or whatever was always going to be a one off. We all knew this team wasn't good enough, but we did (before Bruce settled in) know they cared and tried hard. If we stay up the summer transfer policy needs to be ruthless tbh, there can't be room for "well he always tried hard but wasn't really any good". Wolves is going to be another stiff test for Howe and the team and I'd really like to see a response from them, at least in application. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 If we'd won playing his way I'd be hailing him. Instead I'm demanding a bit more pragmatism. He needs much better players to operate the way he wants against top teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And without writing off what we've done since mid January too. Spurs front three are absolutely miles ahead of our back four and they showed it today. The way we collapsed second half made it ten times worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Canny interview from him regardless, helps that he's not a charlatan similar to some of his predecessors. 6 away games in our last 7 has probably taken a toll on us. 3 home games coming up, plenty opportunity to put today out of our minds and seal safety.

Big Geordie Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 There's always gonna be bumps in the road, during the rebuild and today was one of then. Players need a rocket up the arse and a reset, for Wolves next Friday. #InEddieWeTrust Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
