Still find it staggering how at the half way point of that season he came in we were on 11 points from 19 games, yet finished the season in 11th on 49 points, only 7 points off a European spot

Some of my favourite days that season. Man United home, Everton home, Arsenal home. Incredible atmosphere at every game. Because of the media outrage at the takeover it felt like Newcastle United vs the world and the team and fans used it to our advantage. Shame that it’s faded away in the stands and expectancy has taken over.

It is but always going to happen when you become “good” like we have. Next part of the project is working out how to stay where we are amid PSR and the cartel having free reign which is more challenging

Eddie said he doesn’t want possession for the sake of it or similar some weeks back. 
 

Sean Longstaff made a sly dig when he said something like Leeds do a lot more training on the ball than we do. 
 

The lack of ball retention and build up is by design. Even our most technical  CMs play a lot of low percentage passes.  
 

Upside of this is we often run up the numbers when we win. When we have the ball we are trying to score. With proper intent.

Can't believe it's only been 4 years. Given the scale of what he's achieved with us, how far he's taken us compared to where we were when he took over it feels like he's been here a decade. Absolutely wild, what a man. Wouldn't swap him for anyone in the world.

How's an honest answer to the question "how does training with Leeds differ from Newcastle?" become "sly"?

The lack of basic passing ability on display the last few weeks has been seriously concerning.

Hopefully he's as safe as houses whatever happens this season. This campaign was always unlikely to be straightforward as we navigated the first big sale and experienced a transition, whilst the likes of Man Utd and Spurs inevitably caught up a bit. We could have a choppy season and I would remain utterly convinced that he was still the ideal person to take us forward, and I don't believe there's a significant upgrade out there. There's so much short-termism when it comes to managers these days, we need to stick by him because he's a diamond.

What’s really done us in this season is losing both of our first-choice fullbacks at the same time and having our wingers massively underperform. That combination would unsettle any side in world football. 

 

If we can get Wissa on the left (he has played more games as a LW than a centre forward), and Tino and Hall properly fit and available, then hopefully things start to settle and look a lot more balanced.

Really don't get this argument which keeps cropping up about our fullbacks. Trippier has missed just one game through illness, Livramento has started six of our ten league games so far this season during which period our form was just as patchy, and Hall was comfortably behind Trippier and Livramento in the pecking order when fit. It'll be nice to have the two youngsters back but in my opinion it won't be transformative and they're not among the most influential players in our side.

He wasn't fully fit.
