I think they’ve only got about three players good enough and one of them was missing today. Guimares and Trippier the other two, although many of the others are decent backups none would get in our team or Arsenal’s. Some like Isak might improve, or may not. It will probably take them another four or five transfer windows to get properly competitive with the best teams.
They need a manager that is a winner first, Eddie Howe is not good enough to take them to the places the owners want, It's that simple he was out of is depth today and played right into the hands of united,
Newcastle may find it just about impossible to break that habit of taking 2nd best, Mancini first thing at man city was to change the mind set of the whole club and fans, He wanted winning habits and not settling for 2nd best ? Pretty much what pep said after the spurs game, he thought we have become happy to just take 2nd best even the fans,
having all the money in the world will never change a mind set, It's something the money does not buy for your club,
You have to earn the right to be winners first, looking like winners is not enough, it's going to places and face the fight head on, you're not going home empty-handed, you will have to drag me off and kill me for it,
What i watched today from Newcastle was not a good sign, even at 2.0 down, the players' manager, the fans, all were just happy and proud to be at Wembley ? That is the first thing that needs to change,
