With respect, we spent 125m on strikers in his place, it's down to the manager to make something work, even more so since we knew he wanted to leave in april/may, this shouldn't have come as a surprise to Eddie and he should've planned for this season without Isak.

 

Also, club lose their best players all the time, we can't keep blaming Isak. In the last few weeks we've been scudded by Palace and Bournemouth who lost Guehi and Semenyo respectively in January  and with their managers announced they were leaving

The fact that we cant get a little whisper out of Wissa is shocking. Thats on Howe. Hes PL ready and proven.

How does a one goal loss away to a team neck in neck for the title change anyone's opinion? How could this be the straw that broke the camels back? And if so, did any of your posts show you thinking we'd win today? 

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

I’m Howe out, but how can that be the game to push people over the edge.
 

By-and-large we played ok against the league leaders away from home. It took an excellent strike to separate the teams.

I've been watching NUFC a lot longer than you have kidda, and invariably, it isn't.

 

We shall see. 

 

What’s your age got to do with anything? Other than making you look condescending for calling a bloke who’s almost 50 “kidda”. 

 

Sometimes the grass is greener. 

 

That’s a fact.

[TBG]

Ignoring the semi final, has he ever beaten this lot?

Impressive how you can be completely and utterly brainwashed but retain that incredibly condescending edge, fair play.

 

No point even discussing anything with you, you won't ever have a bad word said against him despite the same repetitive shit we're watching every single week.

 

 

 

It's not condescending, you've taken today's lost, despite us being the better team, as an opportunity to pile on Howe because we happened to lose today.

 

Just seems opportunistic.

[Amir_9]

If we were finishing 8th after last summer that is what you call a disappointing season but keep the faith in Eddie and go again next year

 

If we finish lower midtable (looking more likely by the week) after continuous and obvious repeat of the same things that aren't working game after game without trying something different is just asking for this shit. 

 

I just can't see him surpassing the best he's done here because he does not demonstrate the sort of nous of an elite football coach/manager.

 

He is dedicated, hard working, passionate and intense but his stubbornness and predictability is now beyond the point of annoying.

On the last day of the window after getting rejected by every other cunt we tried to sign. Imagine if we did get Joao Pedro or Ekitike. We were backed into a corner and took what we could get. 
 

Elanga I understand. Poor signing but I’m not going to sack him for that. Not a chance. Rafa signed Murphy and he was shit and then turned out okay in the end. Maybe Elanga will turn out okay some day. 

 

Yeah I understand that Wolte and Wissa were very much a case of 'them or nobody' and the people above Howe carry the can for that IMO due to their piss poor planning and lack of foresight. But I can't accept the notion that we're still playing poorly 34 games into the season cause 1 key player wanted to leave. This summer we'll be losing a lot more than just Isak, I want a manager who can adapt and overcome

He's won us a cup and two Champions League qualifications.

 

That's quite a track record.

 

You're disappointed we lost to Arsenal.  I get it.  You expect us to be winning there..

This is a fair point, but it has to be mentioned alongside the fact that Howe has teceived the most investment the club has seen in 30 years. It is not as though Howe built this squad out of nothing with unheralded players. He inherited an extremely ambitious club with money to spend. At clubs like this, a relegation fight with four matches remaining is unacceptable, without any cavaet.

Please give me an example of where NUFC have replaced a successful manager with someone better.

Delusional mentality.  Considering we are 14th with nothing to play for.

[Newcastle Fan]

He is out of ideas, we are just as bad as we we were under some of our worse coachs in recent times.

 

Signings that he insisted on and made has set us back hard, 110m on Wissa and Elanga and he's complaining about psr ffs.

 

This whole season we have no idea what to do with a set piece as well

Aye that goal where they still whinge about the ball going out at the Gallowgate End. We beat them that day didn't we?

It's another game where we have had time on the training pitch and still look poor going forward. The excuses are running out.

I don't agree with any of what you've just said but like I said earlier, no point getting into it.

Most games lost in the row in 12 years, despite spending the highest amount in the club history. 
 

He needs to go. 

That can't be true. I know we lost 5 league games in a row in 2021 under Bruce, for starters.

I thought Arsenal would be nervous so a draw was on. Should have probably got one as well but we didn't really show any teeth.

"It'll get better when Wissa is fit"

 

"Eddie's teams always click in December/January"

 

"It'll get better when he gets training time & one game a week"

 

Any advance on the next prophecy?

 

I'm not sure what your point is here?

 

I was someone who thought reverting to one game a week would see an improvement, as previous evidence suggests that it usually does. It's shite that it hasn't and its concerning we're seeing so many parallels with his final season at Bournemouth.

 

Two camps will emerge here, one will think Eddie should lead the rebuild, the other will think it's time to part company and give someone else a crack. I'm probably still in the former and I'm happy to debate why, but at this point I wouldn't begrudge anyone for leaning the other way.

No, you. For expecting us to lose.

The football is so bad Alan can use it to rehab his image.

[Nucasol]

Fared better than I thought we would. Story of the season in that a competent striker would have had us 10-15 points better off. Instead we’re six points ahead of West Ham and Forest and have to play them both.
 

The fact Eddie and our group of merry men have slept walked us to the fringes of the relegation battle is shocking based on the resources we have and momentum we had. We won’t go down but 16th/17th isn’t a great selling point to potential summer signings. Plus those 10-12 places down on last season are £20-30m worth of revenue removed from this season’s accounts.
 

He deserves the last four games to show something but if it’s more Bournemouth, mackems, Everton and Brentford-esque tripe performances and outcomes then, for me, it’s time for a change.
