Murphy Anderson Tonali. Longstaff Targett Burn. Botman. Manquillo Dubravka Depends on injuries and depth etc, no injuries Eddie gets this lot to conference league imo.

Had we gotten a chance to have Botman, Isak, Barnes and Tonali would it be better? We’re reeling right now because our thin squad is even thinner. Add to that we’re playing a seasoned side in CL and honestly think we’ve 100% not looked ourselves in both matches. Thats gotta be why Eddie is down. Hes disappointed and upset. His coaching can only go so far but he’s not had his full team or his game changers to battle Dortmund. He had his best striker v Paris tho. Pretty much my feeling on this - we are very inexperienced at this level - we’ve played league cup - PL - CL in the space of 7 days - physically tough matches - next to no preparation - lack of selection consistency due to injuries It’s November and we’ve already played Man C x2 Dortmund x2 PSG AC Milan Arsenal Liverpool Man Utd Aston Villa Brighton West Ham all teams in Europe Give it 12-18 months when we have the depth and experience we will be better for this experience Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing to lose but I thought he/they put together a sound tactical plan to use what we had to best effect. No bad thing to illustrate the need for for a deep squad including another purple or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People outside the club have been saying this all season. When we had a difficult start to the season having played so many tough teams, they were saying he was favourite for the sack. They are clueless and have no appreciation for what he has achieved so quickly. And so it's easy to just discount their ignorance. What is irritating is when Newcastle fans that have been following the club and know how bad things have been can still be questioning the manager who has only over achieved since coming in. Be hilarious to see who on Earth they think we should bring in to replace him. Saw some clown saying we need to get Mourinho ... fucking Mourinho man. My goodness.

Lish007 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 They don't even realise that Eddie Howe IS the next Fergie, Pep, Arsène, Mourinho but that he's a) way better b) way nicer. It's so obvious to me. And he's even English too... Why don't they support their own countrymen??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The media are always complaining about the lack of opportunities English managers get. Now there is one, they are constantly trying to talk him out of a job. This is as much a learning curve for him as it is with the rest of his management team and also the majority of players. Plus you couldn’t get a harder group. If you want English coaches to become elite coaches then you need to give them time to learn and improve. I have no doubt he will learn from this and be better next time. You have to learn how to play in Europe and that takes time. Champions League football is such a huge jump and maybe it might have been easier to have played in the Europa League first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been different if we started the match with Gordon and Miggy. As much as its hindsight now, you have to say this would have been far better especially for Wilson who had nothing in terms of runners or support in that first 45. Not sure if Eddie thought he was going to contain them and then try and throw pace on later? One of our worst choices that carried over from the home game was Trippier going over to take corners on the left, delivering piss poor, to then leave the right back position exposed as they broke from every poor delivery, equally lesson's not learned from the first encounter losing the ball in the middle of the park and exposing ourselves to their fast passing counters, Gordon previous, Schar last night, it's not a post trying to single players out or point holes in the managers game plan, more so, we just didn't seem to learn from those types of errors, at times it looked like a repeat of the first game. Hopefully we have some luck soon. Edited November 8, 2023 by mighty__mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because prior to the injuries racking up, he managed a tough draw away to AC Milan, and completely destroyed a more talented PSG, with their 'top manager', at Newcastle. Just not going with this narrative he isn't quite up to it man. No chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Wouldn't change him for anybody right now. He's something special, and will keep learning and improving. Can't wait to see what another 2 years looks like with him in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
