This year is closer to 5/10. Apart from publicly available info and what I read you saying a little while back about being itk regarding Howe's responsibility for overworking our players earlier in the season, are there any other reasons for you cooling off on him? I'm interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Haven’t really criticised how much and I’m glad we won, but I thought it was a bit mad not bringing Murphy on with our current injury situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the FA will consider it a success so long as we get to the quarter finals, so therefor he’ll take us into the 2026 World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemtizz Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Defence is mainly shaky because of our midfield. #1 priority in the summer. That and an actual left back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Unbeaten in four, 4 wins in 6, into the 5th round of the FA Cup, with our only lose in that time to a De Bruyne masterclass. Not bad for a shit manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for a shit manager. Has anyone actually called him a shit manager? I think this is happening again, where people say "I'm really pissed off with Howe doing this one specific thing that has cost us several goals in recent games - and plenty of people also have this view" which then gets turned into "posters are calling him shit and that he needs to be sacked." He's great, I love him. He's done and continues to do wonders for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just being really facetious That said, I do think the reaction to a draw last week was way to over the top, you'd have thought we where in a relegation scrap and sinking without a trace some where going on.

LiquidAK Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 1 hour ago, Beren said: He's been a great unifying spirit for the club and taken us miles from where he found us. And I'm not desperate for him to go - he's not a Pardew - but I am increasingly disappointed by him this season. To the point that if he's poached by England... I'd not be crestfallen. That's just my feeling. There could be better people out there for NUFC for where we want to go. Don't think that's madly controversial. Disagree massively tbh. I think he's perfect for both where we are and where we're aiming to go. He's a relatively young coach who's really struggled with the hand he's been dealt this season - but he's the heartbeat of the club and will grow with us imo. I'd be absolutely devastated if we lost him, think it'd be such a massive step back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who isn't going to be frustrated by his lapses and cost goals in recent games? I do think Howe is an idiot for keeping him in the side when Tino is there. I can only assume there is something we don't know preventing Tino from starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question btw, I’m not sure either way at this stage. I do. We were unlucky that the final he got us to in his first full season last year came during our worst run of form all season. I genuinely think given a few years to shape the squad exactly as he needs and we'll be competing on all fronts. If by titles you mean the league only - that's trickier, because you need the other teams like City to have an off-season. But Howe would have us competing for it with enough time, no doubt in my mind about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as perplexed by the Burn thing as most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
