He is clearly very good and is much better than Gerrard but even a 38-game season isn't a very big sample size statistically. Union Berlin are a great example of this, who were the underlying-numbers overachievers in Europe last year. Now things look much less great for them.

 

38 games is a great number of games for a season. Allows variance to play it's part but not too much.

I wouldn't be surprised if we, along with several dozen other clubs are also watching with interest. If not, why not? We should always be looking at what's coming up, whether it be players or staff.

 

Think this though is 2+2 stuff and slighty mischievous from the media looking to spin their own agenda.

Seems he's still rehabbing with the help of the club despite not being on the books:

Guessing getting an article like this out there means he might be angling for a contract somewhere soon.

 

That's quite sad to be fair. I hope it works out for him. The word from the academy was always Matty had more potential than Sean wasn't it?

if Howe had been dealt a better hand this season ie Tonali available along with Barnes and others not getting freak injuries, I am pretty sure they'd be higher up the table, still in Europe and have a semi final against Boro to look forward to

 

then everyone would be saying what a great job he's doing 

 

despite having the most difficult fixture list at the start of the season including cup draws

 

I think the owners will recognise that and they'll go again with Howe next season 

 

sections of the media desperate for owners to pull the trigger, just hope the club and fans are united in backing him if things get worse this month

Yeah it's a shame.

 

I always take the 'his younger brother is even better!' stuff with a pinch of salt though tbh. Feels like it gets trotted out for any good young player that breaks through in football. In NUFC's case it's already started with Miley. :lol:

mate it’s actually painfully tight:

 

let’s just assume Tonali wasn’t betting, Barnes stays fit just for the baseline and 4 results are different this season. 

Liverpool (h): Bruno doesn’t attempt a trivella at half field and Liverpool never get a second Nunez blaster to steal all 3. +1 point. 

 

West Ham (a): Team doesn’t push up late and ball is kicked to the corner flag. Kudus never gets that shot. +2 points

 

Everton (a): Trippier doesn’t cough the ball, we hold on for a draw. +1 point
 

Forest (h): We hold on at 1-0 at half time and see game out. +3 points 

 

^^ with or without the Liverpool point we are at 36 or 35 points and we’re in 6th place. I’m ignoring Wolves (a) and Luton (a) for this argument. 
 

* assume VAR doesn’t rob us in Paris, out of no where. We’re still in CL knockout phase. 
 

* assume Trippier doesn’t cough up late in the energy drink cup and we’re in the semifinal. 
 

 

All of this is to say, as horrendous as the last month or two have been at times, you can point to 5 to 7 incidents that seem like absolute horrible luck and clinical punishment that has altered our season.

Just one question football clubs need to ask, “is this the right manager for us”. Regardless of current form or results, that is the question. 
 

Unless he’s doing something very wrong in his work, the output alone can’t be used to judge him. 
 

Howe has performed miracles so far and to contemplate replacing him is absolutely ridiculous.

Anyone wanting Eddie sacked has very short memories. He's been transformative- I was dubious about his appointment when he signed but he's proven how good a coach he is. Does he get things wrong? Of course who doesn't- he's a young manager and is still learning. He is only going to get better. He has had his hands tied this season with injuries and suspensions. Give him time- he will turn it around.
