PauloGeordio Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I love Eddie and he won’t be going anywhere soon. He is part of the family now. We are ahead of our curve thanks to him. I actually feel relieved (yes disappointed too) that our not quite good enough, nor deep enough injury ridden squad is not fighting on four fronts anymore. We can consolidate, focus on the league and cups, get a few in in January and hopefully onwards and upwards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 2 hours ago, BullyDogs said: General hypothetic question here seeing as we were very interested in him before appointing Howe but would anyone swap Emery for him and do we think Emery would have done any better in the same space of time and further on? 2 hours ago, Cronky said: Surely you jest, sir. 1 hour ago, BullyDogs said: as in the post it is hypothetical I appreciate that, but given what Eddie has achieved over the last 2 years, from such a desperate starting point, the idea that anyone else could have done better is unthinkable to me. Emery has proved himself to be a fine manager, but Eddie has overachieved in a way that I had thought impossible. At the time when he took over, anyone who had said that 18 months later we'd be in the Champions League would have been visited by the men in white coats.

Beth Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I don't understand the kamikaze attacking when it was 1-1. We were never going to win the CL but could have gone far in the EL. It was like a blackjack player twisting on 20 hoping to get the ace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kocunar Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Yes, at this point of the season, and given our injury problems, I would rather not play in Europe at all than play in Europa League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack j Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 If PSG were 2 nowt up then mebbes sit in and play for the europa But I'd have been gutted if we played for a draw when we still had a chance of qualifying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately our current manager doesn’t think this way. Eddie would be (rightly) getting ripped today if we shut up shop at 1-1 to hold on for a draw.

Respectfully disagree I love we tried to get through, it’s the sort of mentality that we need if we’re going to have success going forward. In situations like that, play to win. You are always a funny draw away from a deep run, all it takes is a few favourites not to win their group - just look at the two halves of the CL knockout draw last season.

Beth Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 It seems I'm in the minority then. You never know, we might beat Chelsea and be two games from Wembley again, although of course with our luck this season we'd get Liverpool in the semi's....

Kid Icarus Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 The hell for leatherness was fine by me, it was the naivety when they were countering for their second that was a problem. Schar flew too close to the sun and then Isak for some reason didn't bring their player down, then Dubravka imo should have saved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Eddie's philosophy is to attack games we are winning. It works 9/10 and is the reason why we batter so many sides. We are the most ruthless Newcastle side I've seen in this regard. Yesterday was a day it didn't work. Get a fucking grip of yourselves man. The reason it doesn't work has nowt to do with naivety but because 1 We are playing elite level sides, with ruthless attackers 2 The current 11 are absolutely knackered 3 We've got very little on the bench to tweak things tactically Going forwards, we will put sides to the sword in Europe but it won't have anything to do with our manager changing his philosophy but because we will continue to grow our squad and because we wont have this level of injuries.
