bobbydazzla Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Keegan era we had an identity - we’ll score more than you, it was exciting but ultimately flawed Robson era I never felt we had an identity or had the edge to win things compared to Man Utd or Arsenal and we were always sketchy at the back Howe era we have an identity, a system, tight defensively, clinical up front, tactically astute and greater than the sum of our parts. Team spirit is outstanding I think this is the most confident I’ve ever been of NUFC Edited November 5, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It doesn't seem to matter who plays they all seem to know their role. Is there a better coach in the PL? I think not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejaxer Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 It bodes well for our ownership that they wanted Emery and Howe, both of whom are absolutely killing it. I'm glad we don't have owners like Abramovich who fired managers every season just for shits and giggles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Danny Murphy’s analysis on match of the day was really good, it is at the 2:30 mark on the YouTube video below. He talks about how we stopped Arsenal by doubling up on their wide players, with the second man dropping off in to the space so they can’t knock it beyond the first player and run in to that space. He says this is something that would have been worked on in training and meant Martinelli and Saka had no option but to pass it to someone who is less than a threat. Putting out the blueprint on how to shut Arsenal down. Edited November 5, 2023 by Matt1892 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 I’m hoping that we figure out how to close games better. We’ve dropped deep against West Ham and Arsenal. Punished against West Ham but didn’t against Arsenal. As far as I’m aware, City, Liverpool and Arsenal don’t drop this deep at the end of the game, even against very good teams. Someone can correct me. We should be able to control the ball when under pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely nothing wrong with how we defended the lead yesterday imo, they didn’t have a sniff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

V Wolves we looked gassed the entire 90 and nearly got out of there with 3 points but some collection of errors and we conceded. Last night we looked like the team of 21/22 and 22/23 that could over power anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) We're generally fine out closing out games, the fatigue element in West Ham and Wolves can't be understand following big Champions League efforts. Hope we blow the doors off early at Bournemouth. Edited November 5, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because there'll be more trust in the subs to continue Plan A, but also because we'll be more accustomed to playing two games a week and rotating as a squad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Warthog Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Just looking at the comparisons to last season. After match 11 last year, we had 18 points (W4, D6, L1). We then went on to win all of matches 12 - 16 before losing some form after the World Cup. This year, we're on 20 points (W6, D2, L3). 15 more points in the next 5 would see us sitting very pretty, especially if we can maintain our presence in other competitions too. Next 5 PL fixtures [+ UCL]: Dortmund (A), Bournemouth (A), Chelsea (H), PSG (A), Man Utd (H), Everton (A), Spurs (A) Suppose we'd have to do really well to get a result at Spurs - not impossible by any means - but the rest of the PL games are surely winnable? Hope Eddie has a bit of luck with the injuries and gets a few players back in the meantime. Tough job ahead, but he's the man for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Getting 15 from the next 5 is a tough ask, especially as they are part of a congested fixture list and the injuries we have I think 10-12 would be a very good return, obviously 15 would be ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I was just thinking while watching the post-match interview with Eddie how he answers like in those Fifa press conferences, or in like Disco Elysium where there's a perfect answer from a selection of 10. He nails every answer every time like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 The man is a magician, but we're another injury or two away from disaster. We have a game roughly every four days from now to Jan. 1, including the upcoming international break. Trips to Dortmund, Paris, Tottenham, Goodison, Anfield, and Stamford Bridge, plus home for Chelsea, Man United, and Milan. The man deserves a key to the city if two of the following are true come the 2nd of Jan.: In or around the top 4/5, in the League Cup, and still in Europe.
