Demitri_C Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 You can tell out of all their defeats this season this one hurt them the most. They thought they would come to villa park and roll us over but we battered them in every department and without several key players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 How patient do you think their owners will be if Howe struggles next season? I think he's set the bar too high for himself, will be hard for him to maintain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Unai would go, and even if he did, they would have to absolutely smash the world record compensation for a manager which is £21m. Also, from reports at the time it looked like Emery was interested in signing for them but then it was leaked that he was going to agree which is what put him off.

Howe looked completely clueless after the game, it's right they thought they'd come and roll a couple in 2 or 3 nil easy. Instead they got battered from the off and were lucky it wasn't 6-0. That's got to shake confidence to be dismantled so thoroughly. Howe mentioned moving on quickly and I genuinely think most of that is due to not having a single clue what happened.

Why when he is building something wonderful here? Personally i think howe will be sacked if they dont get top four (they will) and they will go for poch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking value to the club (eg. Grealish worth £100 mil to us and that had to be matched) then you can times that £21 mil by 10 to get Emery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the mistake of underestimating us. And Emery was tactically a few levels above Howe. The defeat was definitely a blow to their confidence, but I'd expect them to bounce back against a terrible Spurs team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson is the better player remember. On 16/04/2023 at 03:50, djdabush said: I thought Howe's comments after the.game were a bit odd. Clearly he's done a great job this season but can you imagine Emery saying that we would do the analysis of the game and then move on very quickly if we got smashed like that? Every team they will play from now to the end of the season will be taking that performance and using it as a blueprint of how to beat them. If I was Howe I would be spending an awful lot of time going through that and making sure they can make the necessary adaptations. That's it, Howe probably thinks they just had an off day. In reality they're an average team with an average manager who got outclassed by better players and a mastermind tactician. Hopefully their upcoming opponents follow Emery's blueprint of how to beat them. Edited April 17, 2023 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should share all data and analytics on them with Leicester, do Smith a favour too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo_b Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Can we change the title of this thread again as let’s be honest, we are no longer gawping at Newcastle, it was just for a small blip in time, I much prefer when we are laughing at them.

Mmm..... They'd have been giving it large like these melts. Or the discussion of Howe being better than Emery.... Utter donuts and rightly have gone missing since the game on Saturday as they've been trolled to death in the comments on both these vids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did we last batter someone like that? Make no mistake the bitterness would have come through if there was a goal or two in it but nobody can make excuses after that thumping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
