Optimistic Nut Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Always said he'd built up enough credit for an iffy season but this isn't on .12th in the league man. I'm pig sick of seeing Burn, Murphy, Willock there. Should have been phased out long before now yet we still see them for 30-90 minutes every week. If he's ruthless and starts binning these and we go again in the summer then I'm happy to see how he goes. I know recruitment has been shite this summer but again, I think a bad window is allowed but I'll let that by as we have a new recruitment team in place since then, but seeing the same players who are clearly no longer up to it keep playing (even knocking £20m for Willock in January was it?) is unforgivable to me.

Robbo2 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 You could see from the press conference, and the way he reacted to some of the questions, that he was super nervous coming into the game - reflected in the second half performance (and a chunk of the first really) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two strikers bought for massive money that cannot get a look in in howes system, he can't find a way to integrate them I wouldn't trust him with a tenner never mind the transfer kitty. I'm sure you have no qualms with Bruno, Hall, Livramento, Isak, Tonali, Botman though right? And would have had no issues with Ekiteke, Pedro, Szoboslai, Rafinha, Mbeumo.. being on the team.

Still think Howe is the man and should oversee a rebuild in the summer with the appropriate backroom team in support. The success of the season nor his tenure shouldn't be decided based on 2 games, and what he's achieved to date should give him leeway. This'll be my last post of the season, I've enjoyed the most successful period of my lifetime a little less because of how much I proper hate a growing number of my fellow fans, it's not healthy. Can't blame anyone for being rightfully furious after that, I am, but there'll be more than a few secretly delighted which is absolutely fucked. But this isn’t based on two games, this has happened time after time. There’s a reason we have given away the most points from winning positions. Can’t adapt to changes of tactics, especially after half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I genuinely don’t want him replaced in an ideal world. Having said that, I have massive massive doubts about him changing his philosophy and what kind of players he prefers along with our mostly transitional oriented football. How are we going to evolve and improve without going in a slightly different direction? Or a more balanced way of playing at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather he stayed but he’s had a really poor season and probably needs to rethink his methods. Yes and that starts with coaching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanLooneyToon Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The biggest problem I have is that stat about being the worst team in the league at losing points from winning positions this season. Crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are plucky little Newcastle who should be grateful for whatever we get. ‘No-one could do better’ tweets no doubt being lined up by Edwards and Hope. We look like late-stage Bournemouth under Howe at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where we go from here, zero faith in anyone running the club to do anything right come the summer tbh. I’m feeling really low after this week. We’ve got so much to change in the squad this summer and I just don’t see how we do it. Maybe we bite the bullet and change the manager, which of course is a big risk, and start the rebuilding job that way Edited March 22 by andyc35i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novocastrian Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 After waiting nearly the entire season for things to click he reverted back to the high press with Gordon up front and we had a mini revival. This style of play has run its course, he doesn’t have the players to change it. We look a mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I think a lot of the problems are the players we have just don't have much character, and I said this before the game. But his in game management is usually rank. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEntertainer Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I've been very dissapointed all season in Howe, but have been broadly in the 'unhappy but willing to give him more time' camp, because I didn't see who we could bring in who would do any better. It's starting to get to a point where I'd be struggling to think of someone who would do worse... 12th in the league currently. I reckon Bruce could manage this squad to a 12th place finish.
