Why do they write such bollocks? We're in the group of death and there's 3 points between us and top spot. It's not fucking over until that fat lady sings!! That's mad. If we hadn't appointed Howe we'd probably be playing tomorrow night in the Europa League or Conference League not coming back from playing in front of 80k in the Champions League.

Mountain Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 If Joelinton scores that header, could have been a magical night. Wasn't to be. I hope Eddie is still with us in the distant future, not many better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GideonShandy Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 From BBC Sport today What a feeling two years on. "On this day two years ago, Newcastle needed a saviour. The Saudi-backed takeover had happened a month earlier, but under Steve Bruce the performances had nosedived and the Magpies were making up the numbers in the Premier League. Check out the standings on 8 November 2021. With no wins from their opening 11 games, even at this early stage, relegation was starting to look like it might be a formality. Enter 43-year-old Eddie Howe, fresh from a year away from management after some outstanding work at Bournemouth. Could he replicate what he had achieved on the south coast at a much bigger club with a far more intense level of scrutiny? In short, yes. The current Premier League table, again after 11 games, underlines the level of progress masterminded by Howe in such a short time. Sure, they are not currently in the Champions League places as per last season, but Liverpool and Tottenham have bounced back this time around and Howe’s players have been placed under much greater stress with European games against heavyweights such as Borussia Dortmund, Paris St-Germain and AC Milan to contend with. To be in the top six – after beating Arsenal last weekend no less - is and will remain a remarkable achievement. They are also the second highest scorers in the division so far this season with that goal difference of +16, far more palatable than the grotty days of shipping goals and struggling to create that Bruce oversaw. Two years on, Howe has been an unimaginable success in the Newcastle hotseat. His next challenge is to finally break that devastatingly long wait for silverware on Tyneside."

gbandit Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Feel sorry for Eddie. He had no choices really with his lineup, minimal at best. Worse than that though, the players who did get fielded were either broken from too many minutes or from not being match fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Do admire the way he's refusing to use the injuries as an excuse as previous managers of ours loved to do. Fingers crossed the lads get a breather over the next two weeks and we can get Isak & Wilson back as well as having Bruno again after his ban. Tank looked empty today and sadly Bournemouth looked bang at it. The first goal the ball fell nicely for them (just like it did for Dortmund) and it does feel like absolutely nowt will drop for us at the minute as well as the injuries continuing with Almiron. The second goal however was absolutely shite defending whether you've got 11 players injured or not and incredibly disappointing to watch. The positive thing was the goal difference didn't take a heavy hammering cos I think a team with better finishers would have stuck 4+ past us there.

HaydnNUFC Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 He had/has no options so critique of the team selection in hilarious. But I'm unsure why he persevered with Joelinton as the 9 for so long. The bloke cannot play there and proved thst when Bruce was playing him there for 2 years. (he was terrible regardless of position, like) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 If I had to be critical, perhaps this is the kind of 'poor' 1-0 win teams with more European experience would have pulled out of the bag. Away from home after an away trip in Europe, I can imagine they'd have set up to defend and hit on the break. Today we tried to keep the press going, but no one was up for it.
