Matt1892 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 4 minutes ago, Whitley mag said: Defensively away from home we must be down with the relegation fodder stats wise. Much work to do in summer where fucking dreadful at the back and the sooner he realises a number 6 would be beneficial away from home the better. We have the 15th best away form in the league this season, picking up 3 points more than Burnley on the road. 4th best home form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 The big calls tonight for me were Joelinton and Pope and you're ultimately defined by the result regardless of which decision you make. Pope especially should have been a no-brainer if he's fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I don’t think we played badly at all tonight. Just shit defending for first goal + woeful goalkeeping all game + missed chances + dodgy VAR. My only criticism of Howe tonight is that Dubravka wasn’t hauled, the absolute fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Europe after all the injuries this season would have been impressive but to be in the driving seat with 3 games to go and to pick up 1 point from 6 against two teams we can and maybe should beat, it’s going to raise questions. They will stick with him but there’ll be a magnifying glass on him from the start of next season now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Just don't get the tactical decision to start Murphy at all. Howe will be kicking himself tonight. We should've gone for it early against a fragile side with a patchwork defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 While our away form across the season is a cause for concern, I don't think he did loads wrong tonight. Fine margins at both ends of the pitch cost us. Ultimately though, for a number of reasons both in and out of Howe's control, we've been too soft on the road for a top six finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 1 minute ago, andycap said: We had three games to get into europa league sitting in pole position. And he still played our weaker players when we have our best back. Subbed isak against brighton when a win would of took the pressure of us tonight. True, mind. Love Eddie, happy for him to him to be in charge next season but he’s got it massively wrong last 2 games and pretty much all season away from home - 17 points from 18 games! He’s not ruthless or clever enough in fixtures like this and he has to improve. Sincerely hope he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there won’t man… if you believe that you clearly haven’t been paying attention to how Amanda and co want to run this club. It’s all (quite rightly) about stability and growing together. Theres is literally no other manager out there that I’d have instead of Howe… I just can’t see any logical feasible argument for him being under any pressure at all really.

HaydnNUFC Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Think he/we need to sign players that allow us to play and win matches in different ways, especially away from home. We doubled down on the high intensity, pressing style that got us success last season in the summer. Tonali would've aided with this and will next season, but we largely have only one way of playing and don't alter it too much (think the only time we only really did was against Spurs (H) which we hugely benefitted from). Away from home we don't and he needs to improve in that regard to regularly be alongside and compete with the elite sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Somewhat minor point, but I was a bit taken aback at how we still left Amad as a spare man off every corner. We had a few let-offs before the goal. Very poor tactical management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
