Newcastle united, mountains, coffee
Seeing much more Howe out on here now. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but he can’t legislate for players making ridiculous school boy errors. That being said - the up and down performance levels are something he needs to fix asap. This isn’t a new thing. Was happening last season. #nufc

Well well, I’m shocked. #nufc

2 wins in 11 games.
10 points from a possible 33.

I'm sorry, that is absolutely rancid.

Looking more and more like Howes last season at Bournemouth. He ran out of ideas then and performances were dreadful. Shipping goals for fun. #nufc

Are we allowed to be critical on here yet!? Looks to me like Howe has serious problems. We are going backwards, and we cant hide behind psr for continued awful performances. The odd decent game is now rare, this has become the norm. Regardless of how today turns out something isn’t right. #nufc

Good performance against Liverpool doesn’t get you points against other teams. Second half has been nothing short of poor. Yet again. #nufc

Clueless across the pitch now. What a mess. 🙄 #nufc
December 7, 2024 at 4:37 PM
What has happened to us defensively!? That and constantly giving the ball away cheaply. #nufc

Let’s just see how this works out before the negativity begins!! #nufc

Not having any chat about Tonali needing a rest after a match on Wednesday.

It’s Saturday, he had 10 months off.

He’s a professional footballer.

Urgh. That team. #nufc.

Much better tonight. It’s clear we are way better against teams that come on to us. We have to work out a way to create against low blocks and teams that sit. #nufc

‘Staleness’ does not mean you don’t produce a shot on goal for 90 mins, that’s something else. Transfer windows have been poor but there is enough in our squad to be beating teams, or at least registering a few shots. Howes pressers are becoming a little tedious. #nufc

Have to admit, not particularly looking forward to tonight’s game. If we can even play a bit of football and come forward it would be something! We do play better against teams that want the ball however. #nufc

@tfnufc.bsky.social bring on the pod! No way that performance and stats can be defended in anyway eh!?
November 30, 2024 at 5:24 PM
We just don’t create anything. Howe has to find a way to change that. If he can’t - should he still be the manager? I’m not saying he has to go but we are stagnant, for sure we needed new players but this lot are better than this. #nufc

We had 0.02xg.

Would have been an almighty shithouse win. #nufc

Looks to me like we are in a bit of trouble. Seriously poor again and so inconsistent. The heed performances are the one offs, the bad are more often. Thoughts? #nufc

Tonali is our best midfielder. #nufc

There were no excuses for Monday night’s home defeat to West Ham and on the back of inconsistent results this season, questions will inevitably be asked - here are some from Tim Wood for @tfnufc.bsky.social - true-faith.co.uk/questions-qu... #NUFC
Questions, Questions, Questions... Is Eddie's Race Run? - True Faith
At what point will it become OK to question whether or not Eddie Howe’s race has run at Newcastle United? In truth, and I don’t know if I’m alone in this, I’m starting to ask a whole load of questions...

Bruno is not captain material. It isn’t working.
If we have to sell one of our ‘stars’ to help with psr and help build a better squad, for me it’s him we need to let go. (Before anyone starts it’s not what I want!) #nufc

Was it just one save required for their keeper? Think so. Our attacking has been woeful all season. We never break in numbers or attack the ball. Bit of a ‘we’ll just turn up and win’ feel about that tonight. #nufc
November 25, 2024 at 10:17 PM
Shake and tactics gone to shit. I’m not being confident again this season. Serves me right! #nufc

Everyone got a bit over excited after the arsenal and forest games but this is nufc this season. Lacking ideas. Their keeper has made 1 save all game. We are easy to play against

It’s the hope that kills you. Repeat forever. #nufc
