dave s Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 First draw of the season. Probably a fair result on balance of game, but annoying we didn’t hold on. Little break now, get some fresh bodies back for Palace and Wolves Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear that we'll be having a lot of big occasion games in the future and questioning Howe like that very much implies Howe isn't good enough for us and has to be replaced.

No, that’s your extrapolation or an inference you’re drawing. It’s a logical or reasonable one, but it’s not what I think. At that point I thought there were games against big sides or big occasion matches where we looked a bit sheepish or where I think we didn’t give a good enough account of ourselves, and I just wanted to consider whether it might be an issue going forward. Hopefully it won’t be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing not to hold on but probably a fair result. They’re in good form at the moment and good at home, always though a draw would be a good result particularly with who was missing. For those getting their Knickers in a twist, move into the next game folks, you don’t win every match in sport ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should at least consider how you worded it at first if I’m not the only one. it’s still a slightly odd take to me, considering the squad we have (which you did concede iirc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 FWIW, there were some people on here wanting to sell Pope at half time. the wanting a team that tries line is getting less and less accurate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelinton7 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Guys I know this is an acceptable result but I’m just a little sick ‘cause I know with our full squad we can beat these candy asses. It’s a long wait with the internationals but I’m confident we will beat Palace! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I’m just annoyed at our left side pushing up for no reason what so ever to allow a counter and then they of course scores on that. Id have brought Targett and Hall on to shore that side up man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Joelinton was a big miss against these big cloggers, would've been great if we had the option to even bring him on for the last 20 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t have the advantage of a Pep or Enrique… Big name players who could walk into a coaching position at Barcelona. He’s pulled himself up from the lower leagues and fully deserves to be going toe to toe with PSG and AC Milan. That is clearly his level. May it long be with us.

oldtype Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Given the amount of injuries in the squad and the opposition our results for this run of games has been preposterously good. If anyone is actually feeling gloomy after a draw today, I admire their commitment to pessimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how phrasing it differently or with more caveats would have helped, but isn’t this the point? For me, I come here to express my thoughts on NUFC and debate them. I don’t come to “win” arguments, I am often wrong and really happy to say it when I am. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be the only coach who’s done every level of the English football and the Champions League? Player wise - Dan Burn qualifies for that feat also. Jamie Vardy I think too - any others?
