Think the Liverpool offer has unsettled him. 

Which Liverpool offer?  I haven’t seen owt about that

[The Prophet]

Good stuff  couldn't have got much worse like.

Needs to sign somebody technical and creative in the summer if he’s got the keys to the summer warchest.

 

As great as Gordon is we need a Cole Palmer type on the right who can unlock the door.

 

Big summer for Eddie needs to show he has the vision to take us to next level.

Best manager in 100 years

Didn't get out of neutral with a broken clutch and still managed that. My gaffer.

[Ellis H]

Until now, we haven't had a manager since Keegan where I'd be almost expecting us to score 2+ in most games. We might get 100 in all competitions this season, which would average at 2 a game.

[Donut]

Fixed (most) things at half time. Easy three points in the end for Eddie.

[Keegans Export]

Must have given them an absolute rocket at half time. Goal early in the 2nd half drained all the life out of them, then kept our foot on their throats as we've come to expect from Eddie's NUFC.

 

Really hope our luck with injuries changes next season, reckon we could have a fantastic 24/25 season if we get our transfer business right.

[TheBrownBottle]

Earned his crust today, whatever was said at HT clearly worked

[Keggy_Keagal]

Great second half but why are we starting so many games poorly ? Awful early doors against Fulham , poor and never got going against Palace and today was like the lads had been doped.

[Optimistic Nut]

Just a theory, but could the recent slow starts to games be down to him trying not to burn players out so we can stay play a good level up to the end?

 

Winter the plan seemed to be playing for 60-70 minutes and hold whatever we had while the substitute options were non-existent, but if we were behind we had no comeback. 

 

Obviously the risk if we're not playing our normal game is starts like we're having, meaning we're not quite on it and the opposition are getting at us a bit and making chances.

 

It happened at Fulham and we won, up to the first goal v Spurs it was pretty even, today they were the better team  for 30 minutes or so.

 

Other than Palace where we just didn't perform at all and you can get games like that, we've had a strong 30 to 80 minute period. 

[The Butcher]

Piss poor 1 half.

It's a nice try, but I really don't think so. It wouldn't explain the headless chicken approach a lot of our players end up with, or the dressing down at Fulham. I think we just have much greater reserves of energy now than we did in December, which gives us a chance of bailing out of situations.

Howe said it was a difficult first 45 and Sheffield were motivated. He’s clearly lost the plot. On borrowed time.

[arnonel]

Why can't we all just be brilliant every minute of every game?

Obviously, this season isn't as remarkable as last, but he's basically had to work with 3 fit midfielders for the last 5 months. For a team that needs energy and snap, it's impressive we've got to where we are despite very few options to rotate, make in-game changes, or even manage legs in a match in what is probably the most important area of the pitch.

That’s why Bruno Gordon and Schar deserve huge credit this season, they’ve done a lot of heavy lifting across the entire spine.

not to mention that we are about to blow our PL record for goals scored out of the water
