oishiiniku_uk Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Howe is too loyal to his favourites. Dan Burn looked like a tortoise against Ogbene and Livramento was a much better match when he came on. I was surprised how little control Newcastle had in the game also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said in some other thread somewhere there is some weird thing going on where if you say us, Brighton and Newcastle are the best of the "other" teams, Newcastle beat us, we beat Brighton, Brighton beat Newcastle Not sure if it's a playing style or what and it's obviously not every game but it's an interesting little thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe disagree with it or see it as cringey or small time but that was Howe way to instill togetherness when he first came to a broken team that fighting relegation.

MrBlack Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Annoys me how easily Luton targeted Burn. And yet when we played them we tried to play long balls over him instead of trying to exploit his slowness. Another sign of the craziness of the PL that Luton can nearly get the double over Newcastle, but Newcastle get the double over us with an average score that looks more like it belongs on a rugby pitch.

oishiiniku_uk Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I see that Howe finally admitted that the number and severity of injuries they've had is self-inflicted: Quote Of course when you have the number of injuries we have had some of those have come from too much load or maybe our programmes are not good enough in the gym https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/feb/09/eddie-howe-admits-to-mistakes-made-at-newcastle-over-fitness-and-injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Gordon played at the weekend so hopefully Kamara and Kons recover as quick as he does! Was a quality couple of goals from Bruno Guimaraes to win them a tricky away game. He holds them together like glue so was surprised when it was mentioned on here a few weeks back that some of the fanbase were criticising him, I've always thought he's a massive fan favourite there with his name regularly chanted at matches. On 9 yellows so that will be another blow for Newcastle when he gets booked soon and his buyout got leaked out so they'll be big interest in him in the summer if they don't make europe, he said as much in interview he did.
