TRO Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 2 minutes ago, Pinebro said: What about Howe then? Newcastle was in an absolute mess when he took over. Not even sure they had won a game yet and they were dead on confidence. Yes things will take time but we should expect to see improvements straight away. Like I say, Howe never won a game until January 2022 and the window opened. He bought in some good defensive players and transformed the confidence.....that has now been built upon, with good coaching, too. Newcastle initially had some good players, but just couldn't stop conceding, they have built on that now, and additional enhancements like Guimares, are transforming them. UE has to be given time, but sure hopefully little shoots of recovery, will be identified as we progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also played Arsenal, Leicester, Liverpool and Man City in quick succession before January. Thankfully the defense UE has inherited is nowhere near as bad as the one Howe inherited.

Popular Post Indigo Posted October 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2022 Probably been posted already but I enjoyed this and found it so encouraging. Compare how he has a team set up vs Liverpool here compared to the first game of this season against Bournemouth where we had 4 players darting towards the ball and leaving acres of space to attack into. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paulie Posted October 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2022 Luiz + Kamara double pivot with Buendia in front is going to make us look like an entirely new side. Strength in defense + creativity and distribution… can’t wait 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jas10 Posted October 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2022 Just feel like this is the step we needed to take to become a “serious” football club again… Enough of the small measures, gambles and risks… It’s time to get cracking and become a competitive and formidable force in this league… Everyone on board, a collective unit with credible and determined individuals with no lack of purpose and ability… led by an adept, experienced and highly skilled manager and head coach. Proper coaching and methods is what we’ve lacked more than anything and we couldn’t really ask for more right now… It’s time for a united front. Now is our time… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get hosed by man utd I can promise people will want him to be sacked! It needs to stop. This guy isn't a punt like Gerrard. He's the real deal, give him time to implement and mould a team I can’t imagine there will be many (with half a brain) that will not back him… especially after almost a year of the shite we were served under SG… that will only have helped his cause… We’re not expecting miracles… just a functioning, hardworking team that can produce positive performances and get results. I’m sure most of us realise that the “pieces need to be put in place” and that progress and success will take time… There won’t be much pressure on him, not initially. I actually imagine that Unai will put more pressure on himself than anyone else will with his credentials, drive, determination and will to succeed/win. He’s not here to waste time or to learn on the job… Don’t really care where we finish this season as long as we’re comfortable and secure… but aims will be high at the club and steps will be taken… expectations will be raised next season, especially if we look good but, again, Unai will himself be aiming high and trying to to do whatever he can to get us there - he knows what it takes. Been there, done that. I just expect improvement because we were lost and it was dour and directionless under SG. No style, no identity, nothing to shout about basically. A lot was dismantled and destroyed but we’ve started the repair process now… I never laid too much blame at the players, it was obvious that the biggest problem was the manager and now that problem has been solved or eradicated. It was a stupid decision and ended up being an utter disaster. Sunday was as much evidence as was needed (and wasn’t it lovely?!)… The hope, optimism and enthusiasm is back now and that alone will do for now… it feels good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
