Thoughts mostly about Newcastle United that are clearly undervalued in my group chats
To put the stats aside for a moment (which I know is not your style) but from watching the games do you not get a sense that his technique and composure are not at the level of a intl player?
Never seems to make the right decision at the pointy end anymore

You are a muppet mate you want the club to lose because it means you are correct occasionally when you moan, you probably hate it when the bus is on time.

The club was terribly run post stavely, and Howe has been the thing stopping it stagnating. Stadium/dof/CEO/training ground are him???

He has the team 6th, 1 game from CL knockouts and a cup semi (4th in a row) but sack him cos it's not pretty every 3 days in the most competitive league maybe ever?

Win or lose is a mental opinion haha, defeats the core concept of sport.

We are 6th in a league where the teams from 7th-15th are better than they have ever been before. Playing in a CL with 2 extra games and therefore loads of injuries.

Won a cup 5 months ago, you have lost perspective.

You made one post during the Leeds game and it was about how shit we are then nothing until today. Definitely fuming we came back.
3 posts during this one wanting the manager sacked.
Listen to how loud the crowd is, even from the radio you can hear it's not a terrible performance. #nufc

Fingers crossed you're right.

On the hate, for me it's as he looks more like a celebrity than ever and the media he did after 23' showed he thinks he's established at the top and would have won England the Euros, without ever needing to find out if it's true/back it up.

Like how good players overperform their xg, do you not think Gordon underperforming his because his shooting is shit? When he gets any power he skies it and the 22-23 accuracy looks like a purple patch.

0 points each would be fair, would almost rather they deserved it. They were as useless as us. 2 mid table teams in a shit game

Well done Sunderland? They did nothing, that's the worst bit
December 14, 2025 at 4:40 PM
Ok so who starts up front yesterday then? assuming Woltemade is genuinely limited to 30 mins cos he's clearly Eddie's preferred 9
November 26, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Do you not think these decisions are forced on him though?
Gordon has to play up top cos Osula and Wissa are injured and nick clearly needed rest. Can't play burn LB and Tripps out, so with Tino and Hall coming back from injury can't play a 4?
Will agree with you if Pope starts Saturday mind
November 26, 2025 at 6:09 PM
Ngl I agree with Eddie, all the formation messing was necessary to cover the fullbacks coming back from injury and if you remove Pope we get a point against a good side playing in their cup final...

No excuses at Everton though, we have to win

Think they just had to stay on unfortunately cos Miley had to play at right back (again full back situ), and should have the fitness to do it as they are top intl pros especially Tonali, 4 days until everton
November 25, 2025 at 10:23 PM
Gotta hard disagree, why would a young player join when they won't get minutes?

We can get 2 random experienced players from Europe on 2yr deals of Nelson Semedo's level for 30-40m all in. Tino and Hall both have a history of injuries and LB Burn/Trippier can't start
November 23, 2025 at 6:20 PM
I'm not sure it'll be that difficult tbf, they don't need to be starting quality we just need a 28 year old good enough to start for Fulham but fancies a pay day at a big club instead (+the bar is on the floor with Burn/Tripps)
November 23, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Ah fuck thought they'd qualified fully, but my point is that if Congo make the world cup he is way less likely to play in afcon
