Eddie Howe

Nothing major. Just when asked about Isak and transfers. It was more the manner he was answering the questions- a bit sharper and clipped. I don't know. Perhaps he is still feeling a bit under the weather. Nothing to worry about, mind, possibly just in my imagination.

He's as sick as fuck of the click bait speculation as we are  

[Crimson Cardigan]

To be fair to Howe there was barely a question about the actual game.

It devolved into “Eddie please say Isak is for sale/not for sale and that Longstaff’s Newcastle career is over” so I can have my national/regional headline.

Seemed a little tetchy in today's conference, no?

I have not seen it, yet, but would not blame him if he was like that every week - such fucking dumb questions 95% of the time.  

[Miggys First Goal]

Probably looking forward to the end of the season so he can have a couple of months away from these parasites who claim to be journalists. 

[SteV]

When he’s getting asked about transfers he’s pretty much always going to be somewhat guarded (like most managers tbf).

 

Watching today’s presser, if anything I felt he was upbeat, if still reserved, in relation to what we might do in the market.

Sounds like a great plan 😊🤩

Don't really agree with their assessment but fair enough. Especially first half.

[gbandit]

The only major criticism that I’ve had for weeks is Wilson getting game time over Osula. Also think we need to just bring Isak off earlier as he’s clearly not fit / carrying an injury. There’s no way Wilson should be seeing twenty mins of football regularly 

[Colos Short and Curlies]

I think he could do with added something to the coaching setup.

 

Its been the same voices since day one, not saying either of JT or GJ should go but I'd like to see an alternative voice to bring some freshness. 

 

Could be the tweak to elevate us to a title challenge

The current coaching setup has us top 4 and a trophy in the bag. What takes us to a title challenge is a 3-4 purples.

people are absolutely mental

Some of the posts today have boggled my mind, we've won 20 in 27, including our first domestic trophy in 70 years  

[Terrymac1966]

Agreed

And got a decent point at a tough away ground, and are two wins from qualifying for the champions league. All this whilst not improving the first team in two years.

[nemtizz]

I'll kms if we don't get CL, but imagine you were told before the season starts we'll win the League Cup against the best team in the country, and that with 3 games to go CL football was in our hands.

 

Remember the years we'd have taken a trophy and relegation?

[Bimpy474]

The one thing i think we can see is we need some new players, that really will freshen up the squad.

The fact we've been unable to because of some shitty anti competitive rules is shameful, but for Eddie to do as well as he has is amazing, a few mad hatters some on seem oblivious to that.

 

The mental comments on here are just that, mental. Some of them have just been completely insane, infuckingsane.

To be clear the comment wasn't in relation to today.

 

Look at someone like Fergie, he was constantly bringing in a new voice and new ideas to make sure he was keeping the squad ahead of the game.

 

I don't think it's as simple as adding 3 players into the squad to give is another 20 points (which is likely what would be needed to challenge for the title). In fact I think with the current squad another view could well have brought us 5-10 extra points this year 

[Kanj]

This is the best season in 70 years. Doesn’t need any argument.

Was he? Wasn’t he just replacing assistant managers who had left for a manager role at another club ?

I find this a mental take. We've got 11 or 12 good purples and the rest are unproven or poor

 

Bringing an extra coach thinking we'd get possibly 10 extra points is delusional

[joeyt]

Plus we've won nearly every game in the last 5 months including a cup final
