midds Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Some utter horror-shows in that lot too. Been an absolutely honking league season. Bounced out of all 3 cups within a few weeks and lose home and away to Sunderland. Season can't end soon enough, completely fed up and sick of watching us play so poorly so often and surrender and eventually lose in similar fashions Just 3 clean sheets in the league since the start of October is pitiful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We escaped seemingly certain relegation at a canter, followed it up 4th, 7th, 5th positions, two champions league qualifications, a trophy, a final, a semi final, a couple of quarter finals. I know it's repeated constantly but it has to be, his success escapes people's minds so quickly. Will you say the same thing in two years time when he's still bringing Murphy and Willock off the bench? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 10 minutes ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: It’s not like he was just gifted 4.5 years like. He came in, saved us from relegation and qualified for the CL twice. All without a functioning club above and around him. It’s hardly a luxury to be allowed to save a football club and carry it on your back for 4 years. We actually played far better football in the 2nd half of his first season here than we've played this season, despite all that investment in the squad.

Andy84 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) 22 minutes ago, Jesse Pinkman said: He’s already spunked over £100m on Elanga and Wissa. He cannot be trusted in the transfer window to correct this. If so, it’s nailed on he goes for Delap. Who’s he? Eddie Howe? Or did he want Ekitike and Pedro? He did and the club failed. He will rightly need to take responsibility for today and the season but to level criticism at him alone for the summer is pure madness tbh Edited March 22 by Andy84 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Joel Inton Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, Miggys First Goal said: Chelsea, Liverpool and Manure would welcome him and would also be able to provide him with the players he deserves. If any of those clubs wanted him, they’d have already swooped in and taken him. Lets not pretend those 3 clubs are waiting for him to become a free agent because they couldn’t just pick him out right from underneath us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long are we going to give him slack because he kept us up against the odds in 2022 though? Do you think Liverpool will hold onto Slot for another 3 years because he won them their first non asterisk title in 35 years if he continues to underperform or will they think like a big, progressive club and make a change becausethey feel he can't take them any further? Howe has done a great job here overall, but at the moment he's tarnishing his legacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m judging Delap based on the few times I’ve seen him play, aye. Like everyone else unless we’ve got some closet talent scouts on here. He’s only started 9 games this season so it’s not exactly loads to go on for anybody. Edited March 22 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, 500bhp said: I'm not having a good at you mate, but this comment really pisses me off. We are not the CEO or DOF at nufc paid £1m pa, so we dont need to answer that question. They set the strategy and succession planning and make those decisions about a new manger. Should Villa, for example, have stuck with Gerrard because their fans on a forum could not suggest a better replacement. That's absolutely fine. I barely watch anything outside of us so I wouldn't have a clue. But I don't think it's wrong to ask who people think would do a better job when they've decided that the current manager needs to go, despite not being the CEO at nufc paid £1m pa to make that decision.

Parsley Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 3 weeks' break, back to one game a week with a reasonable run-in and Bruno and Miley hopefully back from injury. Today was an abysmal showing and Howe and the players deserve pelters, but we still have every chance of a strong finish. If we continue to turn in performances like today post-break, I'll be deeply concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 21 minutes ago, Wallsendmag said: He's been here 4.5 years though. Most managers don't get that luxury. Surely after that amount of time the state of the squad is on him. It's his squad that he's invested £550m on since January 2022. He 100% should be held accountable there. Maybe he's targeted the wrong type of player profile? Maybe he's placed too much emphasis on wanting PL proven players? Maybe he's went for too many athletes instead of targeting a couple of technical players? There are some mitigating factors of course there are. It's been a punishing season, we've played more games than any other teams in any of the other major leagues. The impact the Isak saga has shouldn't be underestimated either, although I'm not sure how much of the blame he should shoulder over us not being able to defend anymore. He had all the makings of a great squad, it cannot be underestimated how important last summer was and he was thrown under the bus by Mitchell. Its not his job to negotiate with other clubs, agents and player contracts, a proper DOF gets us the players we need instead of panic buying whatever scraps the sly 6 dropped off their golden plates. Thats not to say, again, that Howe is innocent in all of this, but the summer really wrecked us. I miss Staveley 😢 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Man Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Not sure there's much point posting right now as everything has been said and repeated a thousand times, but I'm still very firmly in the awful result/s, poor season, right manager camp. I think the broader picture gets lost in the noise. This is a squad that won its first major trophy in 70 years last March, qualified for the Champions League again, and then got absolutely ratfucked in the summer by the Isak situation. Howe has to take some blame on the recruitment. He was seemingly more involved than ever but I don't think anyone could have foreseen what an absolute disaster the Wissa signing has been. On paper, we were paying £55m for a guy who just scored 20 goals in the Premier League, a proven forward. Instead he turns up injured doesn't kick a ball until December, then looks like a lazy shadow of his former self and has managed two league goals in 700+ minutes? It's been a complete shitshow. You can question the fee paid and possibly the due diligence on his fitness, fair enough, but the logic of the signing was sound in my opinion. If he had contributed even half of the goals that he managed last season at Brentford, which seems a not unreasonable expectation, we would be in a somewhat healthier spot.

He’s scored like 2 goals all season with top talent feeding him. Ask any Chelsea fan and they will say he is one of the worst signings they have made. Yet Howe and Howe nephew will no doubt spunk £60m on him once Gordon has gone. My nephew is a Chelsea fan and says he’s totally shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 3 clean sheets in the league since October and 1 in 17 in all comps. That's nowt to do with Paul Mitchell, the hierarchy, Isak, the summer etc. It's a side that hasn't been set up with the right mentality, tactics or been coached well enough to keep goals out.
