@CraigHope_DM @agbnufc_ Craig, do you think it’s ironic that you blamed Hall for Anderson’s goal and said that’s why he was dropped but you don’t give the same critique when Burn gets skinned REGULARLY at LB and there’s no comment on the fact we HAVE to play Joelinton to double up on any opp winger.

I blocked a few y'day who were swearing, maybe this account got caught up in that. Always happy to engage if opinion is just that & is clean. I've just checked back & it appears we've always had that, so fair enough. Although you did say I was a "troll" for having an opinion... the irony. Speak soon!

Incredible. Don't think I've ever as much as swore or insulted him, just a disagreement on our best left back playing right back and I'm blocked. Journalists incapable of debate, it's ya job. @CraigHope_DM

@NUFCcook @wantabiggerboat Lols, frustrating tho. I thought the season was over when we lost to Brentford at home, but how we’ve let so many games pass us by this season is mental. I’d love us to qualify for Europa next season but with the financial pressures, we almost need CL.

@DLnufc_ @wantabiggerboat 😠

3 of the ‘big 6’ absolutely stink this season

@NUFCcook @wantabiggerboat Just wait until we stop playing twice a week this season, we’ll kick on

@wantabiggerboat Especially if half the league are playing twice a week next season haha

@talks_tyne @Slaughts_1 Howe is a good manager, but he’s not elite is. No idea why Hope keeps saying that - has a long way to go to do that.

@Slaughts_1 This season doesn’t rewrite history. He’s a top coach and whenever he does leave will do great stuff. He’s not in the convo with Pepp, Klopp etc but he’s in the bracket below

Eddie Howe isn't an elite coach and never will be. Pure gaslighting

🚨 Eddie Howe set to remain Newcastle United boss. As things stand + barring unexpected turn of events 48yo will lead #NUFC into 26/27 - retains ownership/hierarchy support & keen to continue. All parties accept this season can’t be repeated @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/72368…

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! 🏹

@TheBaldMag @Doddsy228904442 But that’s the point isn’t it. If you’re rotating him with a solid defender that’s one thing, but he’s replacing him with Hall. He consistently played Murphy Burn Pope etc despite consistent stinkers btw.

@DLnufc_ @Doddsy228904442 Not saying he’s not a great defender - he is. but it’s an absolute fact he’s been off it defensively the last few games. Go watch Mateta first goal in the Palace game

Like I said ✅

@TheBaldMag @Doddsy228904442 What a strange lie. He’s a solid defender, great going forward and great at helping you control game. Over the last few years, Burn’s had countless stinkers. Been the only PL LB to make Antony look good.

@DLnufc_ @Doddsy228904442 He’s literally given his man about 5 yards of space for crosses that have led to multiple goals over the last few games. All I’m saying is just cos you’re been great going forward, if you’ve been off it defensively in a team shipping goals, maybe it’s time for a breather.

@NUFC Uh oh…

Hinshelwood scores. [2-1] 61'

@Doddsy228904442 Good boy

@DLnufc_ No he absolutely isnt.

@TheBaldMag @Doddsy228904442 It’s certainly not a conspiracy - who said it was? Howe himself said it was tactical. And that’s nonsense saying he’s been off it btw 🤣. The whole team has stunk and he’s largely the only player who shines. Burn is very poor defensively at LB. Mainly bc he’s a CB…

@DLnufc_ @Doddsy228904442 Not the point though is it. Hall defensively last few games has been off it, leading to goals. He needed a break out the team for a little bit as the mistakes looked a bit jaded. Sometimes that’s all it is, not everything needs to be some conspiracy or players wanting out

@Doddsy228904442 lol that was posted after he scored. Joelinton has helped him a lot tho. Surely even you can’t think Burn is the better choice over Hall right…?

@DLnufc_ Like you said... hasnt passed him once

@NUFCcook I back Howe now and next season, but I’ll never be able to justify DB over Hall, regardless of him scoring. Definitely feels like a backwards step out of desperation. Hopefully it pays off today but it’s definitely unsustainable. Be disastrous if Hall pushes for a move this year

Looks to me like a side that is very much playing for the manager

@talks_tyne @CraigHope_DM Burn for Hall is desperation. Likely just wants to get points and call it a day for this season. LH has been our second best player this season and has hardly put a foot wrong. Justifying the change by saying he’s had “defending issues” is laughable when he’s replaced by Burn.

@CraigHope_DM This is Howe complaining and running it back to 2022. But it his solution for these issues is to go back to how we used to play then we’re in even more trouble than I thought. Literally dropped every player he could who’s capable on the ball bar Bruno… concerning times

Thoughts on XI are pretty clear, then. To summarise, "resignation letter" the gist of it... For me, I understand it. A strong manager picks his best XI, not the XI others want him to. The change of system/some personnel vs SAFC tallied with outside opinion & it backfired The big calls? Hall/Burn... Hall has been poor defensively of late. Keeping back 5 from last week was always likely Ramsey/Joelinton... The latter owes Howe a performance & usually comes good when needed (it's needed here) Willock on left... He was v good last week. Barnes is out of form & probably better option from bench right now Murphy on right... Howe can't play Elanga. Needs must Osula @ CF... He remains biggest threat, in terms of goals & unsettling oppo Woltemade/Wissa on bench... NW isn't an 8 & ran out of form as 9. Last time as a starter @ 10 was SAFC. Looked good last week & could be threat from bench. Wissa... Howe thinks Osula is sharper

YESSSSSSSSSS BIG DAN BURN!!!!!!!!! 😁

@NUFC It’s a sackable offence dropping Hall for Burn twice in a row btw. Minteh’s going to have a field day ffs.

UNITED 👊

@brunoog98 @NUFC @Stejames090 Who’s pretending? It’s easy to play the way we did when losing against a nervy Arsenal. The real problem is we don’t play that “well” when drawing or winning games.

@DLnufc_ @NUFC @Stejames090 This is the same Arsenal side we couldn’t score against. They’ve been poor in recent weeks, so let’s not pretend we delivered some masterclass against a team in top form.

Defeat at the Emirates.

@tfalex1892 Great to see Burn get 98 minutes at LB 👏 Woltemade cameos are hilarious. Howe wants a pressing striker. Why has no one asked him that you don’t need to consistently press if you have the ball? Easy interview for Howe post-match - “positives” 🤪

@JoelBlandSport It’s easy to play with freedom when you’re 1-0 down. Would we have played that well if we scored, or we took the lead? I think we all know the answer to that.

Played decent tonight, Bruno made a big difference. Bar his near-howler I actually think bringing Pope back in was right call. Woltemade HAS to play more, good cameo. #nufc
