Elliottman Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 2 hours ago, Dr Venkman said: Been wondering this myself. Think there’s definitely an element of holding back, there’s no way it’s not been a conscious decision. Could be because of the ridiculous fixtures we’ve had at the start of the season, try and get points without running the players into the ground. Have a feeling we might see the return of the press on Sunday against poorer opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 https://trainingground.guru/articles/mark-leyland-why-i-left-newcastle-united-for-city-football-group Leyland described the level of detail that Howe and his coaching staff go into as “mind blowing.” The Magpies were deep in the relegation zone when Howe arrived, in November 2021, and he led them to an 11th-place finish in his first season (2021/22). Champions League qualification then followed the next season, in his first full campaign. “The way the manager works at Newcastle, and his coaching staff, they are incredible, they are so elite,” Leyland, who joined Newcastle in December 2021, told the TGG Podcast. “Their processes, their delivery of training sessions, their review of matches and the detail they go into in analysing the performance of themselves and the players is mind blowing. They are an incredible bunch of staff.” Of Howe in particular, Leyland said: “He’s obsessed with football, it’s his whole life. He’s an incredible human being, an unbelievable football coach and an incredible thinker on the game.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember the numerous complaints about Willock 'half arsing blocks' against Wolves and Man City a year ago. I haven't bothered reading back through the Willock thread, but when you think back to when we were at our best, we had Longstaff, Willock, Bruno and Joelinton in there. Three of those would be considered less than elite, but collectively they worked really well. That's not to say they can't be improved, but will take some time to gel with new players.

The Prophet Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Willock was excellent last season, but for some reason he didn't get the credit he deserved and often was a target when things didn't go to plan. His link up with Joelinton was supoib and one of our biggest attacking strengths. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Eddie got us into the champions league. We've played 6 games this season, 5 in the premier league and 1 in the champions league. We have 6 points from 5 very tough fixture starts. One hiccup against Liverpool which we've seen all top teams do at some stage in almost every season. We have 1 point away to AC Milan with a squad of players of which three quarters of them have never played in, yet we battled for a point. If we went for it and got slaughtered Eddie Howe would be classed as past it by some fans and pundits. One thing about Eddie Howe. He learns and to get to be elite manager status you have to make mistakes and learn from them, to be better. For me Eddie Howe has a free pass this season. He has to bed in a lot of players from the start of the season to the end and not just the ones he bought but the youngsters who are teetering on the edge of the first team, like Lewis Miley as a major instance. I'm extremely happy with Eddie Howe and at this time I wouldn't swap him for any other manager when you consider we do have restraints that other clubs don't seem to have. We are the new kids on the block on the elite, favourable clubs and Eddie is still basically finding his feet in those stakes. I know most fans back Eddie and co to the hilt but there's some that appear impatient and over expectant and that's not good for anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Sometimes easy to forget what it was like to have absolute gormless cunts in charge. We've been led by Steve Bruce, Pardew and probably the nadir came when John Carver was given the job under the previous regime. Now you can actually watch the press conferences and feel a glow of pride knowing your manager will represent the club in the best manner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I watched his presser and he doesn't feel we need a specialist defensive midfielder. I'm not sure 100% but would be nice to have one in the squad for tactical change ups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
