Memphis Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I just wanted to add that it is such a pleasure to watch this man at the center of what has become an exceptionally well-run club. His tactics are typically excellent, his ability to motivate and get the best out of players - Gordon admitting last season that he was not fit enough to play the way we wanted to play, now he's looking like a new player - his commitment to the basics of hard work and intensity, he's just a spectacular manager. And I love the fact that he and the scouting staff are aligned not only in the on-field type of player we sign, but the off-field attitude and commitment. The mentality of our signings has been sensational. It may not work perfectly all the time, but there is a very evident plan in place that is being carried out, and as a supporter, that's so reassuring.

GeordieT Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Saw Howe and Tonali + girlfriend in Francesca’s last week. Couple of others in the encourage I didn’t recognise. Surprised I’ve not seen any photos on social media. Not where I’d take him but really speaks to the culture of the club and the desire to ensure he settles.

It's pretty fascinating actually - I think the club will be conscious of the issues Italian players have had settling in England in the past and will be doing everything possible to mitigate for it. It's asset value protection at the end of the day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oregon_Geordie Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Fucking love Eddie! Building quite the squad. For all the money we have, it's down to his appetite, work ethic, and standards that we are where we are. Hope he's here for a very very long time. We're very very lucky!

That's exceptional. Created at least 9 really good chances against a very, very good team. Bodes well Villa had conceded 8 goals in their last 16 games last season and we put five past them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 He's such a good man manager: Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on starting Alexander Isak over Callum Wilson against Aston Villa: "It was very difficult. One of those calls that I didn't look forward to making out of my love for Callum. My relationship with him is very strong and he's been outstanding for me as a manager. "To make those calls and disappoint someone you love is very difficult. I had to make a call, and Alex performed really well and so did Callum; they both scored. Getting off the mark is important."

Ben Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Man Utd will take care of themselves this season because basically they are not very good but to see Liverpool drop will be a dream, Klopp seems to have outstayed his welcome, his Dortmond curse has come back.
