If this award is made by a fans vote, then it's meaningless, so it's not something I feel too strongly about. The LMA award is the one that counts, and depending when that vote takes place, I think he's in with a shout. Of the five players that were brought in, one isn't very good, one got injured early on, one needed a bit of easing in and the performances had already started improving before he made an impact, and the other two were squad players at other Premiership clubs. Big Dan Burn made a significant improvement to the defence, and we might not have stayed up without him IMO, but Eddie has over-achieved on what was available to him. We were as bad as Watford and Norwich, and needed to improve to get past Burnley and Leeds, but Eddie took us beyond that. The other factor is the pressure that he was under, taking on a big club in a desperate situation, with low morale amongst the squad and the supporters. He's shown guts as well as intelligence. Sorry to pontificate, but I'm genuinely moved by the warmth and high regard in which our man is spoken of by his players. I'm just a little bit proud of my club now.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 If that 45 minutes is a glimpse of what he wants us to do, wait until we add 3-4 more quality players to that lot. Probably as good as I've seen since we were thrashing WBA away & Stoke at home in that run to 5th when HBA, Cisse & Cabaye were taking the mick. That was against average opposition too, this is meant to be a top 6 team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 He's managed from a worse starting position to outdo what both Rafa and Bruce (albeit with different teams to differing extents) achieved in terms of PL points - 46 points is our best in 8 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Absolutely incredible performance. Bodied a top five team and outplayed them in every metric from start to finish. Pretty clear that Howe's standards are unrelenting - sky is the limit now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he’s come to us though we should have beaten Man U, gave West Ham as good as we got away, should have beaten Chelsea away. It’s only Man City and the Spurs front three that have blown us away. You’ll always get random games like Leicester. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Soon as we're mathematically safe he gives us that performance? Can't be a coincidence, this is how he wants us to play next season Easy to forget that he basically had to do a pre season during the actual season because the players were so unfit, imagine what he can do with a full pre season and a couple of quality additions man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
