the truth may be somewhat different.

We absolutely destroyed Man Utd and should have won by a bigger margin that 2-0.
 

A few days before the game I was in my local Screwfix where we regularly have some football banter. The manager in the store is a Man Utd season ticket holder and made a comment about the earlier games in the final and at Old Trafford. Something along lines of “I’m worried with all our injuries because all you guys do is play long diagonal balls to the big wide men and go after the knock downs”. I tried to explain to the guy that’s he’s a moron, but seeing him a few days after the St James Park game and being greeted with silence was all I needed after my comment of “how’d you enjoy that long ball tactic mate”

Arsenal game could've gone either way and we were definitely unlucky to lose it. We didn't batter them though.

 

The penalty check swung the game I thought. We were on top, fans up for it, then that check took a couple of minutes and Arsenal scored. I reckon if the ref hadn't thought the handball was a pen and we'd just played on, we'd have still had that momentum.

felt like we battered liverpool at home even with 10 men, and arsenal to an extent but got nowt from either.

 

Not battered but the Liverpool game was very even despite having 10 men. NUFC 2.04 xG to 1.87. Second half was 1.15 to 0.74. 

 

I'm still annoyed they randomly got to play us twice without Bruno, one right before the cup final and the robbery at Anfield. Literally everything going their way. The #1 thing I'm looking for when the fixtures come out is when we play them.

Really interesting breakdown of our style of play this past season under Howe.

 

 

How come there's no videos like this when Bruce was manager ?

Liverpool had a hell of a lot of decisions go their way for long enough this season and they still couldn't get champions league.

Someone from work (who is not interested in football) has just been on holiday to same resort as Eddie. Matt Ritchie and a few other footballers, e.g.  Loftus Cheek and Seamus Coleman there at same time. As cool as I like to think I would be in such circumstances, sense of instant envy tells me that I’d probably blow it!

Newcastle United's Eddie Howe named Premier League Manager of the Season

Howe 50% of the votes from our team of reporters when it came to the best manager from the 2022-23 Premier League campaign.

Howe finished above title-winning boss Pep Guardiola (30%), while Brighton & Hove Albion's Roberto De Zerbi and Arsenal's Mikel Arteta were the only other managers to garner votes.

 

well deserved Eddie.

Deserves it (baring in mind its only based on the PL, re Pep).

Sure he'd just as soon fly under the radar as I've found suits the way were doing things.

Hope he's recharging somewhere too, he's earned that as well.

Didn't know where to put this so just putting it here.

 

We are the 12th best across the big 5 leagues at creating from set-pieces when adjusted for volume (ie, per attempt). We really need to get better at attacking the ball at these set-pieces next year. 


We could also defend them a lot more efficiently than we do.

 

We have massive players so we really should be doing better than we managed last season.

Some of these comments are probably not far from the truth and it remains my only concern about him, potential for burnout. He's undoubtedly one of the finest, brightest and most adaptable coaches operating in world football but often comes across as borderline obsessive. This is great for NUFC in the short and medium-term but long-term, I worry about him burning out. Hard to imagine us without him and his staff.
