Yorkie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 1 minute ago, Kid Icarus said: Is it not more of a help out with numbers in midfield move? That's what I've seen it as, that Howe can see we have a problem there. Got to be, but I'm failing to see a net gain so far. Still, no plan B etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great choice. You don’t have to worry, the poster is garbage who posts nothing but nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 4 minutes ago, Yorkie said: If there's one thing tactically I'm weary of seeing it's Trippier in that centre-midfield position. Honestly don't feel like it offers us anything substantial, meanwhile leaving Lascelles to trip over his feet in the auxiliary RB position, and leaving the centre prone to gaps when Fab goes walkabout. Just keep him on the right. He builds play well enough from there. It happens canny infrequently/randomly so I wonder if it's just a decoy vehicle to keep folks guessing rather than being a genuine tactical plan. Probably helps save Tripps' legs a bit too.

Last thing we needed tonight was more people in the middle building the game up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 We played some lovely stuff early doors this season. It hasn't suddenly been coached out of us. For various reason that have been covered at length, we're just in a bit of a rut right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It would seem with every passing week more and more people are coming to my way of thinking when it comes to EH.. I’ve thought his goose has been cooked for months now and nothing I’ve seen, even the odd win, has changed my mind. We need a change. I like him though.. maybe not quite as much as Rafa but he’s always represented us very well so I’m annoyed that this will probably drag on long enough that the good memories will be overshadowed by the pure frustration of watching the team at the moment.

jack j Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Not As much as rafa? Howe has gave me more memories in 18 months than rafa could have gave me in a lifetime Bar the odd game in the championship the football used to bore me to tears Edited February 28 by jack j Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) We've had what circa two brilliant years with Howe, which surpassed all expectation, followed by a rough 3-4 months initiated by an unprecedented injury crisis. Tough crowd. Edited February 28 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jow Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I loved Rafa but must agree, Howe is massively ahead of him. Can’t think of an NUFC manager since Sir Bobby I’ve enjoyed as much as Howe. Edited February 28 by Big Jow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got enough credit built up so that recent performances will be met with a general apathy.. there’s no genuine anger yet but there will be. If we’d played like that with Steve Bruce as manager, there’d be multiple posts of cabbages and die in a house fire type rants. But that’s how bad we’ve been playing lately.

This line gets trotted out every time there's a bad performance but what point is even being made? That we should all be in here united in disgust at Howe? That Howe is as bad as Bruce but no one wants to admit it? It's such a weird point. They don't belong in the same sentence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re focussed on the wrong part of your own sentence. Enough bad performances to remember a line being “trotted out” is surely the concern?
