There was a great article on the Athletic last week about our set pieces, about the variations, choreographed blocking, misdirections, etc. we do.

 

Following on from it, yesterday we manufactured a free header for Joelinton that he should have scored and a free header for Lacelles that hit the back of the net. It was three or four passes after the free kick, so maybe won't count in the stats as a set piece, but was clearly us working the ball so it could be delivered from an unexpected angle to an unexpected target. That would be a set penis goal in my book.

Ahh the old he's at a rich club so he must be mercenary line.

Aye it's such a lazy word to throw around, it's actually a pet hate of mine

 

[Pilko]

People sure are making a lot of the 3 keepers thing. 

 

We only get 5 subs that we can make per game, he's included 6 outfield players that he trusts (to differing degrees) to introduce into the pitch - given all 6 got on bar Parkinson, who had 25 mins at Bournemouth. He may well only trust the academy lads for short cameos or giving the senior lads a breather late on but he's clearly selected lads he can trust to do that rather than just populate the bench with lads who aren't ready and he won't ever use.

 

Granted there's like an absolute fractionally miniscule chance that we manage to go through Pope, Dubravka, Karius and Gillespie in one match due to injury or red cards but better to have them all sat there than empty seats. Imagine if our injury/suspension crisis suddenly extended to the goalkeeping department and we had an empty seat instead of a registered keeper we needed to use? There'd be hell on if we suddenly had to hoy an outfielder in net.

 

I understand there's a point to then be made about the depth/quality of our U23/academy if we can't scrape together another couple of lads who he can trust, but it's a long process to sort out the shambolic shell it was when we were bought 2 years ago and a lot of the promising ones are out on loan anyway.

[Cronky]

It may just be that you get a bonus payment if you’re on the bench and Eddie didn’t want to give it to young lads who were nowhere near the first team squad.

 

Also six academy lads might have diluted the honour given to the three that made it.

I hope we don’t get him. Far too injury prone and he’s rejected us once already.

 

Also feel like he’s a bit of a mercenary who could upset the squad cohesion. 

Loan.   It will be like a mini trial. Option to buy perhaps too.

Eddie Howe – We are sticking to our principles

 

An exhilarating afternoon at St James’ Park, Eddie Howe watching on from the touchline.

The Newcastle United Head Coach orchestrating yet another excellent performance from his team AND dominant victory.

Eddie Howe doing this in the most difficult of circumstances, with the injury list somehow ending up even worse after the international ‘break’ as Sean Longstaff and Joe Willock were added to that ever growing list, whilst Lewis Hall was unable to play either, due to being on loan from Chelsea.

Eddie Howe a proud man reflecting on what had been a massive achievement from himself and his players, the NUFC boss insisting that whatever is thrown at them, they are sticking to their ‘principles’ when tackling each and every match.

 

Eddie Howe reflecting on Newcastle 4 Chelsea 1:

“It was a real statement of character within the squad.

“We really asked the players to step up and we really deserved to win.

“Big positives from today.

“The leaders within the group set the tone… Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier, Matt Ritchie.

“They make sure that we don’t surrender.

“If you are disjointed and go away from your principles, you will be in trouble.

“We try to be us.

“Jamaal Lascelles has been incredible behind the scenes and you want to see that rewarded in the right way.

“He has been patient and is now performing really well.

“The goal [to make it 2-1) was a massive moment in our season.

“Gordon’s cross was pinpoint and the header was perfect.”

Eddie Howe on the performance of 17 year old Lewis Miley:

“I haven’t come across many 17 year olds at his level.

“he is a very good athlete, strong, a good size.

“The biggest compliment I can give him is the pass for the first goal.

“An incredible decision and he has the right temperament.

“A lot of young players would have wanted to shoot there.

“We have high hopes for him.”

There's the odd moment when you forget just how fucking brilliant this bloke is & then the moment of realisation again sticks a little smile on your face.

Has even The Mag started resorting to AI for their articles? All but the quotes read like a robot.

[Ghandis Flip-Flop]

Chronicle website article so get the adblocker ready, but thought the article itself said a great deal about what a few ex-Bournemouth players clearly already knew

My manager.

[kocunar]

Wor gaffer. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Fair play to Howe, he has every right to react like Arteta but he's amazingly calm

 

 

[The Butcher]

He must speak up against this

[Bimpy474]

Classy answers, just compare them to Arteta. One man is a class, the other an utter spoilt brat.

[Matt1892]

Dignified in his response to what was an awful decision. 

[gbandit]

Going to go down as our best ever manager in a few year’s time. The way he develops players, the togetherness he creates, the footballing style and systems. Everything, he’s winning stuff for us. Love him to bits 

[PauloGeordio]

Captain, my captain! 

[Menace]

His poker face is immense. I've never genuinely seen him rattled in an interview.

[SiLvOR]

What an absolute hero this bloke is. Taken us from relegation  to slugging it out with European elite. He'll win something, and it'll be soon, and it'll be fucking mint

[midds]

Love the bloke to bits but I think he could have made 3 changes tonight in the last 10 minutes to stop the play and break momentum and chose not to. Having kids on the bench is one thing but to their inexperience is irrelevant when the clock's on 91 mins etc. Subbing those 3 players on could have killed the play for 30 seconds or so at a time. Not saying it could have prevented the bullshit pen but it could also have panned out differently too

[PauloGeordio]

If he’s needing to unleash his obviously contained anger due to an injustice from a bald bloke?

Should have brought Dummett on for Isak in stoppage time.  He fucking loves defending, would've been in his element. 

[Lush Vlad]

Aye. I thought Hall and Dummett should have came on. Isak was a statue towards the end and we were that deep and not bothering with the press or trying to counter. An extra defender would have helped. 
 

Hard to criticise him or any of the players, mind.
