Lish007 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 News articles saying that Eddie may not be the person to take us to the great heights of success.... Why do they write such bollocks? We're in the group of death and there's 3 points between us and top spot. It's not fucking over until that fat lady sings!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People outside the club have been saying this all season. When we had a difficult start to the season having played so many tough teams, they were saying he was favourite for the sack. They are clueless and have no appreciation for what he has achieved so quickly. And so it's easy to just discount their ignorance. What is irritating is when Newcastle fans that have been following the club and know how bad things have been can still be questioning the manager who has only over achieved since coming in. Be hilarious to see who on Earth they think we should bring in to replace him. Saw some clown saying we need to get Mourinho ... fucking Mourinho man. My goodness.

gbandit Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 If we don’t win a trophy this season he’ll win one for us next season. This lad might be going top of the tree above Keegan before his time’s over with us. He’s absolutely immense in every aspect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lish007 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 They don't even realise that Eddie Howe IS the next Fergie, Pep, Arsène, Mourinho but that he's a) way better b) way nicer. It's so obvious to me. And he's even English too... Why don't they support their own countrymen??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The media are always complaining about the lack of opportunities English managers get. Now there is one, they are constantly trying to talk him out of a job. This is as much a learning curve for him as it is with the rest of his management team and also the majority of players. Plus you couldn’t get a harder group. If you want English coaches to become elite coaches then you need to give them time to learn and improve. I have no doubt he will learn from this and be better next time. You have to learn how to play in Europe and that takes time. Champions League football is such a huge jump and maybe it might have been easier to have played in the Europa League first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been different if we started the match with Gordon and Miggy. As much as its hindsight now, you have to say this would have been far better especially for Wilson who had nothing in terms of runners or support in that first 45. Not sure if Eddie thought he was going to contain them and then try and throw pace on later? One of our worst choices that carried over from the home game was Trippier going over to take corners on the left, delivering piss poor, to then leave the right back position exposed as they broke from every poor delivery, equally lesson's not learned from the first encounter losing the ball in the middle of the park and exposing ourselves to their fast passing counters, Gordon previous, Schar last night, it's not a post trying to single players out or point holes in the managers game plan, more so, we just didn't seem to learn from those types of errors, at times it looked like a repeat of the first game. Hopefully we have some luck soon. Edited November 8, 2023 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because prior to the injuries racking up, he managed a tough draw away to AC Milan, and completely destroyed a more talented PSG, with their 'top manager', at Newcastle. Just not going with this narrative he isn't quite up to it man. No chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Wouldn't change him for anybody right now. He's something special, and will keep learning and improving. Can't wait to see what another 2 years looks like with him in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn't appointed Howe we'd probably be playing tomorrow night in the Europa League or Conference League not coming back from playing in front of 80k in the Champions League.

GideonShandy Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 From BBC Sport today What a feeling two years on. "On this day two years ago, Newcastle needed a saviour. The Saudi-backed takeover had happened a month earlier, but under Steve Bruce the performances had nosedived and the Magpies were making up the numbers in the Premier League. Check out the standings on 8 November 2021. With no wins from their opening 11 games, even at this early stage, relegation was starting to look like it might be a formality. Enter 43-year-old Eddie Howe, fresh from a year away from management after some outstanding work at Bournemouth. Could he replicate what he had achieved on the south coast at a much bigger club with a far more intense level of scrutiny? In short, yes. The current Premier League table, again after 11 games, underlines the level of progress masterminded by Howe in such a short time. Sure, they are not currently in the Champions League places as per last season, but Liverpool and Tottenham have bounced back this time around and Howe’s players have been placed under much greater stress with European games against heavyweights such as Borussia Dortmund, Paris St-Germain and AC Milan to contend with. To be in the top six – after beating Arsenal last weekend no less - is and will remain a remarkable achievement. They are also the second highest scorers in the division so far this season with that goal difference of +16, far more palatable than the grotty days of shipping goals and struggling to create that Bruce oversaw. Two years on, Howe has been an unimaginable success in the Newcastle hotseat. His next challenge is to finally break that devastatingly long wait for silverware on Tyneside."
