Happinesstan Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) 8 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Howe is everything I've ever wanted in a Newcastle manager tbh, I couldn't be happier with the job he's done and is doing. There's nothing I need to overlook if that makes sense? For example with Rafa I had to overlook the style of football (not fully his fault obviously), but with Howe, at least at the moment, he's ticking all of the boxes for me. In fairness, I do need to overlook the selection of Murphy, but that's the best thing for me. We don't have the squad of Man City or Liverpool, but we're already getting more than the sum of or parts. As much as I love Maxi and want to spend every waking moment watching him produce magic, I#'ll be happy seeing Murphy take his place in the line-u against Man U next week. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about Howe, then nothing ever will and you'll be forever wanting Edited October 8, 2022 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Canny little challenge for Eddie when everybody is fit. How he picks his best XI is going to be fun to see. (What a problem to have!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 There’s a world where we persisted with Bruce and Howe went to West Brom. Thank fuck, we’re not in it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One swallow doesn't make a summer, but it's a running theme with Howe now that he puts players in and they deliver. It's a very good sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just reiterating the fact that sometimes, when you're a well run club, the starting line-u doesn't always dictate the result you would expect.

I thought Murphy was good today but I thought he was alright last week. Certainly didn't think he was "very" good against Fulham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is great to see, is even when our more important players are not there, he has instilled that much confidence in his system, that the back up players are just slotting in and doing their part. He has the whole squad on the same page and they all know exactly what their job is. The organisation is magnificent. He’s a fucking genius.

I would have had no problem if Joelinton and Maxi had replaced Longstaff and Murphy, but Howe had the composure to trust in them both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was @Yorkie who made a similar point in the match thread(?). That we're becoming almost like a machine and others can come in and do a job and we're not disrupted too much, there's so much mental strength and emphasis on structure and pressing. It's becoming second nature to the whole squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what gets my goat with VAR, when they say it worked in our favour because it got a correct decision. It's just another element to be analysed and fill TV time.

samptime29 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 We should be on 17 points. Fucked over in the Palace and Liverpool game. So glad we got Eddie. He puts the work in and clearly the players respect him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
