Palestoon Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Can't even be upset with him. This is who he is now at 34. Howe needs to take the blame. It's one thing to have him in the side for his tactical awareness in a back 5 defending a 2 goal lead against a static Arsenal attack. But to play him in a 4 against this City side with the pace they have in attack was suicidal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 This one is on Howe, he got too excited with his performance in a 5 and decided to start him, hopefully lesson learned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 He's still a very good footballer technically, but his physical limitations are there for all to see (and have been for some time). We have to use him just right until the summer. Tino needs to develop mentally - competition is the best thing to drive that. Doesn't help when his CB partner is also very, very slow.

Stifler Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 We had a good year out of him. The first 6 months he was here he was mostly injured for. Last season 3 games a week caught up with him. This season he’s just been outright poor. We really should have cashed in on him in January with Turkish teams after him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
