Careful with this rationalised pragmatism, kidda

We were pretty much bullied all over the park yesterday by mediocre players. There’s no way of dressing it up as anything but a massive fuck up in preparation.

 

I noticed Howe at the press conference (on Friday) deflected responsibility for playing not 100% fit players “they’ll play if the medical team says they can”

 

I think for the first time here really he’s in a rut at present, not all his fault and we’ve been fucked over by some awful decisions along the way but you can tell it’s affected the team, he hasn’t been able to pick them up from those disappointments.

 

If he’s good enough he’ll find a way out of it but they were very cheap points to give away yesterday. I think rightly so he’ll be under scrutiny now.

Yesterday was a poor performance and result, but until the absolutely enormous asterisk hanging over us clears up, he shouldn't be receiving too much scrutiny.

The only way Eddie leaves this club is if he feels he can’t improve things and leaves on his own accord. But I’m sure he’s working 24/7 to get things right again.

Don't think that's the case mind. He's not immune to the sack but it's not something we need to worry about currently. He will turn things around and we'll look a different animal once we have our strongest team back.

A whole world of nope to this. I don't want EH to go, but if PIF are as ambitious as most think the trigger fingers ( so to speak) will soon start to be itching without an improvement soon. And to which ever poster said that Stavely/Rubens will stop PIF from doing what they want, they are clearly in a dream world. Al Rummyan could fly in tomorrow and boot the pair if them out of control and there'd be the square root of bot all they'd be able to do about it

The injuries? Yeah sure but what we had yesterday was more than enough to get points.

 

It's not an isolated blip. We’ve had several very under par performances.

 

I’m not wetting the bed just yet but it’s a concern. I really want to see him step it up a few gears and start to assert over his rival managers. I’ve yet to really see that from him.

[SUPERTOON]

Absolutely nothing so far since the takeover suggests PIF are going to be ruthless, itchy trigger finger types. Everything so far suggests the opposite in fact. (Rightly so)

Yasir’s number 1 choice was Howe, I think people do PIF a disservice thinking that they’ll be itching to pull the trigger without an improvement soon.

 

I get the impression they’re very clued and will privately acknowledge that this season was a difficult ask to start with and that’s before the injuries and Tonali.

 

I said at the time the Tonali ban was disastrous and so it’s proved, he was our blue chip signing to help us bridge the gap this season. 

So many things have conspired against us this season, we all owe it to Howe to back him to the hilt for the remainder of this season.

 

If Howe got the bullet it would leave a massive sour taste, we all want him to be the one to end the trophy drought it would be a beautiful thing.

 

Newcastle United will never be defeated, keep the faith and back Howe to the hilt would be my advice to everyone.

There could well be something more to it, but the injuries and subsequent fatigue the squad are suffering from is a large mitigating factor. For example yesterday Gordon and Almiron were absolutely blowing, but there was no one we could replace them with.

 

I'd say Howe has shown over the last season or two, he's one of the best coaches in the league.

Everything you said is pretty much spot on apart from EH being Yassirs first choice. There's not a chance in hell he was. Despite the widely reported first choice being Emery there's very little chance AR had even heard of Howe before someone from over here put his name forward. And let's not try to pretend that most weren't more than a little disappointed when EH was named after chasing Emery for so long

We lost 9 away games in 02/03 & finished 3rd, just putting the bad away record into perspective.

Oh ffs. We lost away to a Championship club in the 3rd round of the FA Cup that season too. 

[Dokko]

I don't see anyone better than Howe wanting to come here and do as good as him. I said it a few weeks a go, this is the biggest test of his time here and he has contributed to the state we find ourselves in, but I don't want him gone. He's also been the reason why we are where we are in all things good. That's not lost at all. I want him to turn it around and get something out of this season. Mind, that's out the window if he loses the derby. Don't care what anyone says, it's unforgivable. He and the club need to understand that. It cannot be tolerated, but the club have as much to say in that with some additional early bodies. Just to know we have some there means those who play can give that extra % and get a result.

 

It's so bad right now a result is a draw. So sad where we find ourselves. It's an unbelievable position we find ourselves in. Before anyone starts, if you don't care we lose the derby, that's on you, not me. Play it down as much as you like. It won't take the sting and pain away if we lose another one, especially since they can't even get back in the prem for 7 years. You're fooling no one.

Tino was rested and has Hall ever played left wing? Got no idea on the latter.

Gordon has some sweet crosses Saturday. That said, he looks completely fatigued.
