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.

Tuchel is about to end up with no trophies at the easiest club to win at least one trophy in all of football.

 

Great choice.

You don’t have to worry, the poster is garbage who posts nothing but nonsense.

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.

I don’t even think it was a thing tonight bar that weird 10 seconds which was overhammed to the extreme by York affiliated comms. Last thing we needed tonight was more people in the middle building the game up.

Not taking every sodding set piece from the left would help in that regard as well.

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.

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

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.

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.

Would it, though?

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.

And as I and others have mentioned. I think this is a confidence and composure thing in the main. Which links to motivation.  

 

Confidence and composure have absolutely nothing to do with motivation, howay man. :lol:

Deluded Geordies wasn't so far-fetched after all.

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.

There’s a reset button on this season that we (he) just can’t seem to press. 
 

Wolves at home, good omen.

 

What does that button look like?

I think anyone who hasn't seen wolves play will get a shock when they absolute control the game against us.

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?

We could sit here and pore over why the bad performances were bad and decide just how bad they were. But I'm asking,  why bring up Bruce? What's the connection?

We’ve not dominated this extra 30

mins, very disappointing 

 

Which of these things disappointed you in the first 15 min of extra time...

 

the 68% possession?

the 7-1 shot advantage?

the 4-0 corner advantage?

the 11-2 touches in the box?

the fact we made more passes in their half than they made in total?

the 1.08 to 0.03 xG advantage?

 

Of all the things to pick out from tonight.
