Looks like we might get a deal done for Gordon early on, which gives us the entire summer to fuck about looking for a replacement before just deciding to go with Barnes, Murphy and Elanga #NUFC
I can understand Barca and Bayern seeing something in a player that I haven’t… what I can’t understand is that Eddie Howe has clearly missed it too #NUFC
This season has been a complete car crash, the best thing we can achieve is to help send Spurs down, so just watch us rock up like prime Barca here #NUFC
This is where Eddie Howe falls down slightly in my opinion. He is undoubtedly a brilliant Coach at developing players. His Managerial ability and in game management it what lets him down #NUFC
I’d say it takes an elite coach to make a Brazil international from the Joelinton he inherited. Or to make England players from uncapped Burn, Gordon, Hall & Livramento. Isak’s improvement. Murphy being the player he was last season. Taking a team from 19th to 4th in 18 months…
Whether Howe stays or goes he really needs to learn what to say in interviews. Hall has been one of the best left backs around and to say you’ve dropped him because Burn is taller doesn’t really sell… I’m trying to improve things #NUFC
@LukeEdwardsTele I get the point of your article, but singling out a young striker who started well, had a dodgy patch then somehow when he came back was made to play in midfield over Wissa… who came from the PL, proven, cost £50m and has done nothing… harsh at the very least
We need a squad rebuild and the only way that happens is if a Manager has time to discuss strategy and his vision before giving the Sporting Director a full transfer window to sort it #NUFC
Two things will ultimately cost Howe his job.
- loyalty to players out of form but are his ‘favourites
- refusing to sign technically gifted players who can break down the opposition because they’re physical numbers are high enough
#NUFC
Look at these stats, imagine a team in the PL having 73% possession against Liverpool. Yet we overpay for players because they have PL experience. Players in Europe are cheaper and better, fact. #NUFC
