NUFC. Music. Art. Probably in that order.

Don’t think any of their players get into our starting eleven.
We get our game right and there’s every chance of heading home with three points.

No chance. They are a very average team on one those runs where things just go your way and confidence grows.
They are already on the start of the downward curve. Derby game is an ideal opportunity to administer a dose of reality.

Corners no longer resemble football.
Seem to recall the PGMOL saying they were going to clamp down on the grappling this season - soon as they do the media rent-a-gobs have a meltdown.

And there are two teams on the pitch.
NUFC are not Real Madrid and Howe can’t control how the other team play.

Wissa should help, but it’s always been unclear how he and the BFG fit into the same NUFC team.
Can’t afford another three months of learning how to play a different way - may need to drop NW and go back to the tried and tested high intensity pressing?

Or trust your team to do their jobs?
Having loads of bodies in the final third often just leads to confusion and chaos.
Having everybody behind the ball also means there’s no out ball.
There’s no right approach but I’d rather risk a positive approach than a negative one.

Interesting that a player who refuses to play for their country can be fined +/ suspended by FIFA, but they do jack shit if a player refuses to play for their club.

Touched on this a day or two back, but correlation is an unreliable tool.
Tindall was in charge for a fair few of the games in our good run, do we conclude Howe is the problem?

The media have been portraying this one as a world changing event. Obviously, so they can respond to some mundane changes with politically motivated hysteria.

Would like to see the BFG with some dedicated support. Gordon can’t deal mentally with Everton away. Elanga needs minutes. Murphy doing my head in atm. Best technicians in back five.

Same thing he thinking when he came rushing out against Haaland on Saturday.
Or when he got sent off after 20 min against Lpool.
