Quote [Southampton] have a huge catchment area and it's a different type of catchment area. There is a big working-class community down there but there are also a lot of middle-class kids who have good educations. The players who come out of Southampton are quite intelligent and there might be something in that. We have to put more intelligence into our players here. Quote Four defeats for Newcastle is going to bring its own pressure. I don’t think the local press have helped. Quote I don’t really care if Arsenal win 4-0 [next weekend], if I’m honest. I’m sure Spurs will, but I only care that our fans enjoy themselves. And very topical: Quote I'd have felt really confident going into this period of the season if I had my full squad available but I haven't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he actually ask a question this time? He normally just rattles off some weird observation or statement then waits for a reaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 His answers are so good I wonder why the press bother with half the questions. You know what he's going to say to 80% of them, and it's not the answer that would make a headline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 That little slaphead clown Luke Edwards, at the press conference wasn't interested in the Dortmund game and questions on that subject, instead wanted to try and be amusing with his arriving on time to the presser, then desperate to stir the pot further regarding Arteta, then moved onto Lascelles and the handshake. He's such a fucking troll, does my nut in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Eddie’s unique take on not travelling to European games until the day of the game needs knocking on the head. There’s a reason no other manager does this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Got a lot wrong today but even he is learning at this level. i didn't feel like we needed that drastic change of formation and set-up considering how well we've been playing, it took away a lot of what we did good and exposed us.

I think the logic was there in what he wanted to do; the plan was to keep it as tight as possible and let the home fans get vocally frustrated which was likely after the weekend. Then as the game went on and became more end to end, we bring on our direct attackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We talk about the players learning from this experience, which they obviously will, but I think wor Eddie's had a bit of a lesson too. Not being overly critical, he's exceptional, and it's a new experience for him, but he's been tactically outdone three times out of four so far. Goodness knows how many times he moved the various pegs around tonight, but Dortmund still came out of it with barely a hair out of place. Limited by the selection troubles of course but we haven't had an answer in 180 minutes of football there. The great thing is you know he'll make the best of it and adapt. It's not too late this year either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did he get wrong? You do realise we have no players who are fit and the ones that are fit are totally overloaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Fine margins like. Imo he adapted in-game and had us do enough with the available players to get results in both matches, particularly at home.

In trying to drastically change the way we played, we saw against Man Utd in the cup that we have a style of play that works regardless of personal, trying to play a completely different tactic today threw a few of our players off.

Saying he got it wrong tonight has baffled me slightly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We've not been embarrassed in either game They were the better side in the first half of both games We were much better in the 2nd half of the first game and slightly better in this one Wilson takes his chance in the first and Joelinton takes his in the 2nd and we probably get a result, such fine margins The squad is very stretched so he's limited as to what he could do. He's performing miracles really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
