David Edgar Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Nope, well aware I dare be critical. Think people need to either accept it quietly or try to discuss my points. Cos it is boring when a handful of you go, "oh DE is so negative. Just think happy thoughts. How dare you question Eddie..." Last post on this. Cos we'll just get loads more rubbish posts like the one above. Sigh. Edited January 15, 2023 by David Edgar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really could do well taking a look at yourself, man. It hasn’t been just one person giving you shit. It’s been a fair few over the seasons. But your I’m being repressed attitude is just a tad absurd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverThere Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) It will be interesting to see the evolution in our tactics now that most teams come to St James looking for a smash n grab. Edited January 15, 2023 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Remember the past few years our goalkeeper nearly always being in the top few places for most saves due to us being shooting practice for other clubs? Pope's only 12th in that list this season. Defence is fucking immense. Edited January 15, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It's another game where we've not even faced a shot on target to a team in 6th place. We dominated the game and it's another one where we could have scored 3 or 4 had we taken our chances. There's no selection or tactics to criticize howay man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 That meant that he oversaw our fifth successive top-flight league clean sheet - something never achieved by a Magpies side in the entire history of the club. Fourteen games without defeat meanwhile matches United's record top-flight run, set in 1950 and matched in 2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Remember his Bournemouth team were criticised for leaking goals regularly and it was one of the weaknesses some were worried about when he was first appointed here Whatever he learned in his 18 months away from the game is clearly paying dividends Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It’s just astounding that we’ve only conceded 11 goals, like. Only Arsenal are close with 14 and that’s not really that close . Nobody else is anywhere near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really exceptional and tells me he’s going to be an absolutely legendary manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 5 of the 11 goals were against the best two teams of the last 5 years too. Was similar last season when City and Spurs were the only teams to score 2 or more against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Simone, one of the best defensive managers on the planet. Eddie goes and sees him for a chat and then updates his own managerial blueprint. Just glorious and we are reaping the rewards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
