Newcastle Thread - 2023/24

[Mick_]

I apologise If what I wrote sounded too critical. It was just me writing thoughts down.

It’s really hard to stay on top these days (minus Pep’s genius). The analysis teams see every foible and weakness, so perpetual evolvement is needed.

Don't apologise, Howe has really pissed me off so far this season and every one of us is entitled to an opinion. Life would be really boring if we all saw things the same way and had the same opinions.

I will not call for his head this season unless we're in or around the bottom which I don't think will happen but I might be more open to a change at the end of the season if things don't improve. I do think Howe deserves the full season to prove himself, that and I don't see any other manager who gets me excited other than yours who will not be coming to us.

As your older players drop off, it’ll be the squad recruitment that will define your next few years.

I agree. At this time I have no problem with who we have brought in, my only problem is the way they’ve been handled so far. Things might start to change for the better soon as we have to start sharing minutes around which will give new players a chance to shine.

Think its clear Newcastle overperformed and 3 of the "big 6" underperformed last year (OK 2, Chelsea are just trash in general)

Howe is a pretty good manager but he's not gonna mix not with the best of the best

Newcastle fans will have to be patient, Rome isn't built in a day and their squad is a long way off one who can get top 4 year in year out, especially these days when any club can spend £200mil in a single window

They do need to keep getting into Europe, even if that's the Europa/Europa Conference to keep that momentum

Are they actually any good or just a bunch of workhorses? they seem to lack real quality

I think there’s some quality there, but as we have discovered over the last 15 years, you don’t go from relegation fodder to title contenders overnight.

It takes time to build a strong squad.

Well that’s a fucking good score!!
Wouldn’t mind one like that for us!!

 

[bennyboy]

They need to have a transfer window like one of ours.

 

[MadchesterCity]

We were going for similar yesterday until Taylor intervened

 

[AirbagsOptionalTheReturn]

When will the media roll out the disrespectful bollocks

 

[laserblue]

Nobody in the media slagging off Newcastle for disrespecting their opponents by not stopping scoring after 4 like they did whenever City racked up a big win? Thought not.
