He's locked in, love to see it. I noticed in the Bretford Match Cam video there was no pre-game footage. Wonder if Eddie had them back off to keep the lads focused on getting the 3pts.

Eddie back at the team hotel drawing his trainsona.

Saw that prick Lee Ryder in the room earlier. Fat mess that he is. Talk about stealing a living. 

[RS]

His decision making has been painfully slow. 

[Aiston]

Needs to sort out his problem with subs mind.

That'll be Eddie "undefeated in Europe you ungrateful swine" Howe you're all jumping to criticise 

[The College Dropout]

Excellent result. Poor performance. 
 

I stand by it. He’s much more of a motivator than a tactician.  
 

Holes in the half space. Gap between midfield and defence. Problem for a long time. Isolated striker again and again. Subs look pre determined.  No patterns of play attacking wise. Teams are man marking Bruno - does nothing about it.

 

The lads worked their bollocks off and Howe deserves credit for fostering that team spirit. But unless we are pressing - we don’t look like a well coached team atm. Tough games but we haven’t looked good from a coaching or tactical perspective beyond hanging in there. 
 

 

anyway great point well done to all.

I agree. Good post.

Delighted with a point

 

Despise when we get a free kick and just lump it to no one time and time again

Waiting to 94th minute to hit the target while having our goal peppered for 90 mins is a sign that its a fortunate result rather than one from design. Point away is always good, but it easily could have been a loss. We have to do better.

We just got our first point back in Europe. Literally don't give a fuck Eddie is the man

It's a good outcome for sure. Very happy, but does that mean we can't discuss concerns with the tactics and how the game actually played out?

It's weird how people go on. I don't get it. Aye we could have played better. They had about 2 clear cut chances from the 20 odd shots they had. That Longstaff one forced the most difficult save of the game. 

 

Just fuck our fans tbh. We've just drawn 0-0 away to AC Fucking Milan and people are having a go at tactics, etc. 

[joeyt]

Already a point ahead than this stage in 2002

I ain't silencing you pal, you discuss away. I'll be over here, absolutely buzzing

Absolutely, I don't understand why people seem to be scrutinizing Howe so much and so intently, he got us to this level and has shown at multiple times over the last few years that when we go through the tough patch, he gets us out of it, with the odd tactical tweak.

 

This whole "he's a motivator not a tactician" is utter bollocks.

[Optimistic Nut]

It's 100% a me issue by the way. I just can't enjoy the club though when we're on our way to being something great when arseholes like TCD nit pick at everything. Good luck everyone, I hope yous can enjoy the ride even if you don't show it. I'm out. 

[ilikenewcastle]

I have to say I didn't think there was an awful lot wrong tactically tonight. When we weren't making daft mistakes and stupid decisions (nerves?), we were toe to toe with them. Sure we need to play better, but this is a fantastic result.

[LiquidAK]

Personally, feel like the time to be dissecting how it was all actually disappointing and we're incredibly lucky etc. probably isn't 5 minutes after we've just wandered into the San Siro and absolutely robbed a point from one of Europe's elite. This doesn't happen every day, or as we've seen, even every decade.  Should just enjoy it for tonight and be thankful we've got such a gem of a manager.

TCD is relentless with some of his more bizarre ideas.

I'm on board with your general point -- I don't really care today. We got a point in the Champions League, happy days.

 

But 2.08 xG to 0.19 accurately tells the story of the game and they had multiple chances better than the Longstaff one.
