timeEd32 Posted Tuesday at 14:35 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:35 (edited) Can't wait for Hope's version. CIVIL WAR INTENSIFIES FOLLOWING ARMISTICE TALKS -- Sources at Darsley Park have shared that Howe did not hold the door open for Mitchell upon exiting the building. It is not clear if the head coach's hand slipped, perhaps moist from spending the morning on the grass, or if this was retribution for the Director's failure to land this summer's top target. Others have questioned if the squeaky front door is a sign of PIF's wavering commitment to United. Edited Tuesday at 14:38 by timeEd32 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted Tuesday at 14:55 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:55 don’t know where I got this from (maybe here?) but an interesting thread. Traditionally Schar has been good at being aggressive with his man in deeper areas. we’ve never been a team to have loads of touches in that middle final third. I don’t know why he’s comparing us to Villa. Villa start with essentially 4 CMs/CAM. Joelinton plays LCM as a LW/LM in attack. Wr have no natural 10, Villa often play with 2.

Infinitely Content Posted Tuesday at 17:16 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:16 24 minutes ago, Kid Icarus said: Anyone got the owld archive? Spoiler Eddie Howe and Paul Mitchell have held talks in a fresh sign of their willingness to work together and move on from a summer of frustration at Newcastle United. The relationship between the head coach and director of football has been under intense scrutiny after a summer transfer window when the club failed to sign top target Marc Guehi. Howe admitted he hadn’t spoken to Mitchell after the latter gave a wide-ranging interview during the September international break in which he criticised aspects of the club’s recruitment. Howe chose his words carefully when asked about whether they had communicated since on Friday but i understands the pair have now held constructive dialogue since and there is now confidence behind the scenes that any differences have been ironed out and the club can “move forward”. A weekend report claiming Mitchell would leave Newcastle before Howe if a so-called “power struggle” continued has been dismissed and majority owners the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) want the pair to work together as part of the new management structure. Howe said that he believed the club was unified – citing the relationship between himself, the players and the supporters as strong – but Mitchell’s planned tweak of the recruitment remit and outlook is also understood to have his backing. Their communication is a positive development. Mitchell has held regular meetings with women’s manager Becky Langley and academy director Steve Harper and has also held a series of summits with the scouting department. Langley has been handed a new contract to reflect back-to-back promotions for the women’s team. But his job is, in the words of chief executive Darren Eales, “90 per cent recruitment”, and that seems to be where the majority of his focus will be trained. Mitchell wants to widen the scope of their scouting network and introduce more data into their processes – both things that have the support of PIF. Getting both right in time for a potentially important January window is crucial with Newcastle fans needing to see proof that his ideas can work in practice. On the pitch the Magpies face a critical seven days when they welcome Manchester City to St James’ Park before a rearranged Carabao Cup tie against Wimbledon which gives them an opportunity to progress in a competition they are targeting this season. Newcastle’s start to the season has been encouraging in terms of points but Howe has admitted that performances have not been at the level he wants. A disappointing 3-1 defeat to Fulham on Saturday was followed by an apology from Bruno Guimaraes for his own performance, while the form of other key men has been below expectations. Alexander Isak has just a single goal this season while Joelinton, after a fantastic man of the match display against Southampton on the opening day, has also been under-par. But there is no sense of panic at St James’ Park, where the stated aim this campaign is to qualify for Europe next season. Instead there is confidence in Howe and his coaching team’s ability to hit the heights when it matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty unlikely he was the right buy, but true 6 market is pretty bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Tonali? Wouldn't he be capable of doing that? I Don't agree that's a major problem. Joelinton and Willock are/were great at breaking lines through ball carrying.. Willock is nice on the half turn too. But can seemingly only do it consistently from the left rather than the right. Joe has stopped trying to dribble in the main which is a problem. But players that are really good at playing in the pockets are playmaker types that we don't have. Likewise Livra when he first played for us broke lines on the dribble too.

Longstaff I am not really a fan of. But would understand it up to a point. Homegrown player and would be poor to let him go for free. Schar still looks more than capable of doing a job still. Burn would be decent depth and is part of the leadership group. If they are for the right sort of numbers and they actually become rotation and back up players. I don’t see a big issue. The squad does need to get better and younger, however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
