Big Geordie Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 As I said in the match thread - no reaction to the previous two defeats. Not good enough at all from the players and the manager - it's very much looking like a limp to the end of the season. I wouldn't blame PIF/the board if the pulled the plug at the end of the season. It's all gone so stale - CL run aside. Team and squad has regressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osula was running channels, chasing down everything. Murphy didn't do much today, but the rest certainly tried. So you are telling us that what we saw is what Howe intended and the players had already did their part? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 1 minute ago, Theregulars said: I’m not saying get rid but I don’t think his players are playing for him as much anymore. They couldn't give a fuck and it was pretty evident after the game at the SOTL. a team full of players who have checked out and a coach who keeps making the same mistakes over and over.

Milburn Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 1 minute ago, vexred said: The idea that there aren't better coaches out there is crazy. Off the top of my head there is Xavi, Poch, Maresca and Iraola. There are definitely good coaches out there, no doubt. The issue is the timing. A lot of clubs will most likely be in the market this summer, so competition for those names will be intense. It’s not just about identifying better coaches, it’s about actually landing one ahead of everyone else I’m afraid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Think this has ran its course, the coaching and management team needs fresh ideas and impetus. I don’t think that will come from Howe sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Pinkman Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) No point trying to debate with Howe FC fans. He can do no wrong in their minds and there is always an excuse. I see the time on the training ground excuse has failed but just give them some time to spin a new hot take to absolve Howe.

Armchair Pundit Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 There's bigger overarching problems with this team than the manager, but sure, if people want to blame everything on Eddie and think shipping him out will fix the problem - no doubt we'll wait another seventy odd years for another trophy when the owners bring in some journeyman coach who doesn't give a flying fuck about the club. It's sounds like that sort of culture is already developing for some anyway, judging everything short-term, because that always works out well.

dcmk Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Just now, duo said: Well - I disagree mate. By your logic can say that about any loss. They didn't try in the Carabao Cup final that we lost? But we tried when we won- I guess. Super convenient. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1892er Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Genuine question to the 100% Behind Eddie fans. What would it take for you to think he might be the issue? I'm just genuinely curious because after 33 games we've seen nothing but regression? I admire the loyalty to him but we're seeing the £150m players he bought sit on the bench and the same carbon copy performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 We’ve got big problems everywhere, but you cannot keep giving away goals in the way we do. Our players make some of the stupidest decisions you’ll see at the top level and it constantly costs us - that must be infuriating for Eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 3 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: My main reason for wanting him to stay currently, is I have zero faith in the club bringing in a good replacement. Agreed and almost all the other managers in the league are shit too. Glasner is lucky they got to play us today because Palace were absolutely awful.
