Smal Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 I do think he appears to be a really streaky manager, like. Thankfully the good streaks tend to last longer and we can still pick up results in the bad ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 He has his flaws but one thing i must admit impresses me about him is his ability to make the team recover from a bad spell, with a lot of the mangers we had in the past even when it seemed to be good for a a while, once it goes bad it stayed that way. Fair play to him and i think our most crucial period of the season will be the one after this international break so hope him and the team prepare well for it.

Loved Rafa, nationality isn't relevant. He just got the club , the area, the people, and he was good at his job. And we took to him like he did to us. Likewise, loads of my favourite players have been foreign - Ginola, Ben Arfa, Robert, Nobby Solano, David Kelly, now Isak, loads of them over the years. It's like when people said we hated Pardew because he was a cockney, that was laughable. No, we hated him because he was inept, spineless and a toadying lackey for Ashley. His birthplace wasn't even under consideration. I don't think 95% of us care where a player or manager is from, even if that's Newcastle. We adored Shearer, but Steven Taylor was an idiot and quite often a liability. We admired Shola for who he was as a person, but hated seeing him play.

I hated the old “they hate southerners” stick we used to get beat with, despite some of the biggest legends to wear black and white being southern. We would get behind anyone if they “get” us.

Nope. It's more down to dignity, like Keegan, Rafa and Chris Hughton, they get the place and don't whine and make excuses even when there was occasion to.

Gallowgate Toon Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 (edited) The players looks so much fitter than the first few games. We've got proper competition in lots of positions as well now as the squad is finally looking well balanced fitness and sharpness-wise meaning players are genuinely starting to push one another. I was surprised at the Willock sub but it makes total sense to protect the player. I thought Howe's tweaks yesterday were very good with the Gordon-Joelinton switch and moving Tonali into the middle when he came on to free Bruno up. I'm liking Tonali in that middle role more & more - he reads the game well, thinks quickly with his distribution, and is so fast off the mark. There's a very decent amount of tactical flexiblity in this side, I want Howe to keep on exploring it. Hoping we break out that 4-4-2 shape against West Ham, I really like Willock in that supporting role. Edited November 11 by Gallowgate Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 12 hours ago, Tiresias said: Going to take a wild punt it was Jose himself Wouldn't want him in a month of sundays. If he did probably course of events - sell all good players. buy in a load of other good players. Perform well for first, perhaps second season - spending lots as he goes. Performances fall off. table position dives. Out of europe - not that we might have been in to start with. Gets sacked. Then moans like a rabid 4 year old that all of the problems were manifesting themselves from within the club and nothing could be done about it. The sooner he takes retirement the better AFAIC.
