For me it’s a lot less about formation and who makes the starting 11 but more the style of play that’s making us struggle in game. 2 years ago every player ‘knew there role’ SJP was a fortress no team wanted to play us at home. It was the style of play. Intensive high press and it suited the type of players we have. Why have we reverted to sitting deep, then side to side attacking football? It doesn’t suite the players we have at all. We are fixated though on formation and starting 11 it’s like we forgot what made us a difficult team to play against.
Tonali needs a good run in the team, as the pivot, to allow him to build his confidence/role within the side. But generally agree, we are stale. Personally I think we're desparate for a 10, which will no doubt bring out the best in our attacking players. We can't break teams down that sit in, so we need more creativity higher up.
@@yuyuleung1506you can players with that skill set as one of the 8’s one of the wide players or even a false 9. Eg De Bruyne, Odegaard, Gakpo, Foden, Palmer etc, etc. We have a lot of players who are good at the workmanlike aspects of the game and not a lot of pure technical quality and creativity, which is more of a problem than formation.
He said he won’t compromise his attacking style. There’s been very little evidence of that this season. His press conferences before and after are completely banal and pointless.
Not 1 question on why Will Osula wasn't used when Isak went off injured vs Palace and therefore why he was purchased and put in the squad if the manager has absolutely no intention of using him Gordon is no number 9
It’s not hard to realise the main problem is Howe refuses to player trade, he wants really expensive signings but doesn’t want to sell anyone to fund it. He’s made us go stale, he’s caused FFP issues by demanding over priced players. I’m sick to death of him. Sick to death of journos not asking anything remotely decent when there is so many things we want answered. Someone tell me why journos go to uni if they aren’t prepared to ask hard questions? Is it any wonder fan channels on TH-cam get more numbers than UK journalists? Why won’t a single journo ask Howe why he’s terrified to player trade? Sell 1 big player every 2 years and keep building but he won’t, he wants to keep all his mates in one place constantly. Go and look at bournemouths signings when they had Howe and now look at the signings since he’s left, the improvement is outrageous. Get him out of this club!!!! #HoweOUT
And Mitchell can't give Howe all our budget as they would severely limit our ability to make a change and bring in another manager if it doesn't work out with Howe
Journalists aren't fan channels. There are rules and etiquette. We just push those boundaries on here, for your enjoyment. But when it comes to press conferences, journalists can't shout and ball like a fan. It is impossible. To ask lads to ask fan questions sometimes is also impossible. We do our best. - L
I couldn't hear your questions in the tough presser Jordan. Mic problem? I say "tough" as that's how it felt. EH looked the most knackered I've seen him, mentally and physically.
Players look bored playing same formation, we’ve lost the high intensity press and the right hand side that did so well for us with tripper and miggy out of the team, that needs replaced and freshened up but if we still can’t spend on players the other option to freshen team up is a change of manager which could make things even worse or better
Great video lads, all I want from the Liverpool game is a team that tries for 90 minutes, no heads going down or looking pissedf off, I can accept the defeat but not a team that doesn't try.
Cracking video, lads. I think the main issue is Newcastle have been found out. Jordan, you’re spot on saying we need to evolve as a team, but the big question is, can Howe do it? Or is he too stubborn?
For once some local Journos who while pointing out the restrictions of PSR and the very real problem of staleness within the squad as a result also point out that Eddie holds some responsibility for that because A/ He vetoed the selling of players like Almiron Wilson and to a lesser extent Trippier under the Stavely regime when they had real value B/ Has bought good players but has built an unbalanced squad where high cost players can’t get a regular starts while at the same time struggles to get a competent right winger on the field. Having said that I still think he has enough credit in the bank to be given the rest of this season to turn it round but I do worry in that I am thinking with my heat not my head
Let's be honest lads, Liverpool are on a roll and wor record against them for the last decade is shocking, but the morra neet is a must win. I divvint want to hear, "the lads gave their all and some really stood out, but......", if you think the 'Eddie Out' brigade are rather "loud' on social media they will get worse. The pressure is on.
I'm Eddie in all the way, I'm as baffled by the inconsistancy as most, but, 8 days ago we were cock a hoop, couldn't wait for that West Ham game, and while disappointing, we can bounce back, I genuinely believe we will, and i think we will see Eddie lift a trophy for us, i firmly believe that, and while folk love to see people be wrong, you's should all hope I'm right weather you think it will happen or not. And imo we will bring a couple in in January. Let's see, 75 points to play for, i think we'll push on!
Spot on there mate👍 Even more so after tonight's result😉 felt we were robbed by the powers that be against Liverpool yet again, in Eddie we trust! Howay the lads💪
Eddie Howe doesn’t listen to people, he admitted this himself last years in an interview. Fans opinions don’t get through to him so he has no idea what the fans think, then he goes and says something that the fans have known for months, which tells you something about the man. I think he’s a better manager now then when he started but the learning curve has been steep and he’s running out of time, he needs to turn it round now before the summer break or I think he will be gone.
Why even discuss the manager hands tied behind his back. It’s journalists who crank the pressure most fans completely understand why we are here and the majority accept it.
@ PSR and a full group of players with little financial sales value from previous owners, which still in the main exists. Choices? Keep the good stuff you bought that made you better and wait for Silverstone or sell the good stuff and take another step back. That’s hands tied behind your back
Remember when we were gaslit last season with the injuries and Europe, promising that once players came back and he got full weeks on the training ground we'd be back to that pressing side of the 22 season. We'll win nothing with Howe. Guarantee there wont be any significant signings in January.
Cracking as always I feel some players are not performing does it go back to maybe promises made or that they could have been sold .Attitude of some seems different. I really hope Eddie turns it round or does he feel he hasn’t been backed . Facts as Simon Jordon says Eddie is a good operator and it will be hard for us we can’t compete with cartel and going to take long time so frustrations are there . We need to win a cup . I. back Eddie hope PIF do .
As frustrating as it is.. we are in a quarter final, fa cup, and 4 points away from top 5 its been a crazy season for lots if teams! Hope eddie pulls it off as most fans said they would take top 10 finish and a cup
Those 3 games Dom, we played different systems! Then back to 4-3-3, back to stale play, back to negatives unfortunately. Opposition teams seem to've sorted out who to double-team on, that seems to nullify us 😞 Risk time!
Another very good video with great insight love how totally honest and open you are without joining the Eddie outers. Like you boys I’m sure he will turn it around and the players need to raise there game.
Pope is such an important part of the team. I hope he can regain his level pre injury but he's position is very concerning. I wonder is cost of sacking EH a factor? Terzic is available might cost alot more in the long run if nufc dont pursue him.
Why buy osula ! Take isak off and bring barnes on? That game could have been a perfect platform to start playing his trade . If we can’t afford another striker then he’s got to give him a chance . Wilson made of glass and isak made of feathers . Eddies decision making is mighty debatable at the minute.
If a player needs to be sold to raise funds I think it should be Harvey Barnes. It hasn’t really worked. Suspect Tonali will be sold to either Juve or Napoli next summer. Year ahead of the World Cup, reckon a move back may be favoured.
Hi Lads , I am dreading Tomorrow against Liverpool I think we will get Blitzed if Liverpool turn up I had 10.00 we don’t reach there Box or have a shot on Target disillusioned looking forward to next season I prey we can’t be any worse on the attack ! The players need to Run for the b intensity that’s lacking now Eddie Howe to blame for not getting rid of Miguel A or Callum W and and other players needed to be sold maybe back to Shrewsbury town crowd of 23000 on a Tuesday night in the Callow-gate as usual lads spot on Comments Cheers Chris
What do you guys think about tonali as a ten weeks need creativity behind isak or osula osula played well against Chelsea he big strong lad we need someone to hold ball up
@GeordieJournos at this point I'm game for trying anything specially this game although the rumours are that he isn't playing I just hope for the best tonight never dredded a match so much thank you for the understanding me
This “we’ve got nae money” marlarky is so off the mark as we lunged at Elanga last minute with £50 million in summer and DIDN’T spend it so that says imo we DO have money😮😂so to salvage this season and to ignite the team we need a RW 🎉 PIF get it done 👍
I agree we need to evolve & be able to adapt to teams that only defend & counter then score by an easy pass through or over our press !! Maybe Tonali & Bruno could get used to swapping positions during a match as both great & capable of turning the game, bit like Joey & Joe do ! Antony can do more on the left as we saw in 22/23 especially when our defence & midfield are in sink, need Botman back & a right forward . It's a bit telling though that our most consistent player is Lewis ! as on paper we should be shining in every position,, some new blood in attack & defence plus team fighting for every ball & goal we should be a serious threat to any team & it's frustrating being a couplev'e personnel changes & attitude off being world beaters yet play so average for large parts of recent games! Love nufc but think 6th at best 7th or 8th likely this season but great times ahead when belief/effort &skill match , sorry lots to say &some won't agree but have faith in Eddie & most of the team
my heart sink as soon as Isak went off as i knew Gordon would play up top. Gordon has been tried numerous times at centre forward and he is clearly not one. Barnes is good in and around the box, not very good elsewhere. He could have tried Barnes upfront if Wilson or Osula were not risked. At least it would be something different. I would have even preferred Joelinton up top. He can hold the ball up. Tonali was great in the No.6 role, but poor Bruno had his worst game. I'd prefered to see him on the left of Tonali where he can cut inside and play those slide rule passes or play them as a double pivot
It’s the whole of 2024 that we have been stale and needed that upgrade in new players. If we had not wasted money or Barnes etc we could have had a RW and a better grade of striker, RCB comes after those two for me.
Winter or summer that shouldn’t matter, players aren’t on a 6 month contract. PSR should be reducing prices it’s massively deflationary. No one can sell shit. This is Mitchell’s window can he do nothing?
@@GeordieJournos your right but, Mitchell is the Director it’s on him to find a way to satisfy the managers demands. It’s also on him to have a good window, that’s what his main function is, the rest is fluff.
had 100 million pounds worth of players on the bench most of the season, spent 15 million on a striker but brought a winger on saying he didn't have a striker. i have never saw a manager given so many excuses. its PSR, its injuries, it is not his 4-3-3 and style of play that was sussed 18 months ago, it is everything except that. had one target in the summer that he wanted to overspend on then panicked and tried to get elanga at the death but bought osula. we are poor and have been for over a year, some of our positive results this season have been undeserved. i can't see us getting europe, with or without signings. i think he has gone as far as he can. players turning up only for big games are putting themselves in the shop window
I think we should go for a back 10 to create a tortoise shell around our box to make it appear like we're holding out for a 0-0 when we're actually not, then when Liverpool run out of ideas at the death we do one filthy counter attack and score to win 1-0 in the 97th minute
We are going to struggle massively against the scouse. They have our number for years and will not suffer from the same small club mentality like Arsenal. With their speedy players they are going to catch us on the break and we will be soundly beaten if we are asleep at the wheel again. I have no faith Eddie Howe would be able to overcome Liverpool. That does not matter much if he can get back to the final of the league cup. I still prefer Jose to instil a winner mentality into the players.
Aye I'm sorry lads I watched video we have the same opinions I watched someone say we only a few points off champions league and that made me mad as hell because we are playing terrible even a win tonight won't change my mind about Howe as much as don't like man u look what that manager has done we need a manager in by jan not Eddie howe
Amazed you guys just pick Joelinton without any discussion. Take a look at his stats for the Palace game. He contributed nothing! In general, he’s been like that all season. And yes, I haven’t forgotten about his goal on the right. Plays like he’s got a hangover most of the time.
If they don't sign reinforcements in January then the club faces losing all of its stars in the summer if the malaise continues leading to no Euro football!
Longstaff should not be anywhere near the starting 11 when we have Tonali. That shows how poor Howe is that he picks mediocre local boy over proven international superstar.
Eddie Howe is piss poor at selling players to recoup funds. Missed the chances to sell Dubravkha, Wilson, Almiron, Lacelles and Trippier when he could do so. Ended up giving away players like Clark, Hendrick, Fernandez, Matty Longstaff, Fraser for free. Come on, get some funds in man.
We played good 2 times this season rest were poor just ground our results anyone can see we are poor and Eddie can not motivate the team a few seasons ago them players would have ran through walls for him not happing this season
We think the first team have problems ffs I've just watched Boston beat are B team and it was like watching Benny hill and laurel n Hardy at times.. Worrying tbh.
his press conferences are about exciting as his football at the moment plus stale dressing room =zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz on and off the pitch...eddy has took us as far as he can ,time to go imo...
I will take Maxi over Barnes any day of the week. Barnes is just pedestrian and besides his shooting does nothing for the team. Can't believe we blew cash on him.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour by you lot he was backed we are mid table with a manager who expects to be mid table and all this shit off you even if we syne some one he won't play them for ages stop the excuses and be happy with us fighting relegation
@GeordieJournos nope but I'm sorry about language but just watched the bit where people are saying Eddie hasn't been backed he has been he takes to long to put players in team just was a bit peed off I'm a passionate fan and I want us to do well but I will watch all the video today as I said sorry about language id just watched a different channel and was mad as hell and playing Liverpool tonight wasn't helping
Howe has been backed to the hills... The football style of howe is not gonna take us anywhere, its based of just running on the counter attack sorry but its garbage. Buying Osula and keep saying he is not ready etc and his post interviews are rubbish. Ppl act like how has won something for us and is this elite manager, why ppl dont think FA came in for howe? cause the football he plays is worse than southgate. We need a new manager that is attacking offensive ball possession minded
For me it’s a lot less about formation and who makes the starting 11 but more the style of play that’s making us struggle in game. 2 years ago every player ‘knew there role’ SJP was a fortress no team wanted to play us at home. It was the style of play. Intensive high press and it suited the type of players we have. Why have we reverted to sitting deep, then side to side attacking football?

Unfortunately, there is no traditional no.10 under the system of 433
Bruno also needs time to play in the 8. It’s as if they hadn’t worked on that in training
4231 system with a 10 as part of the system, I think Eddie fancies this system for some games he chased Maddison for long enough
@@yuyuleung1506you can players with that skill set as one of the 8’s one of the wide players or even a false 9. Eg De Bruyne, Odegaard, Gakpo, Foden, Palmer etc, etc. We have a lot of players who are good at the workmanlike aspects of the game and not a lot of pure technical quality and creativity, which is more of a problem than formation.
He said he won’t compromise his attacking style. There’s been very little evidence of that this season. His press conferences before and after are completely banal and pointless.
Lol howe think counter attacking/running football is attacking football. We need a new style a ball possession style
They're clearly trying to attack... Just been shit at it
@@misturmonson7423it’s that easy aye? It’s not FM 🙈 Apply for the job mate, can’t wait to see you win the league 🙌
Tonali hasnt struggled to play for us . Eddies failed to pick him ffs
Eddie picked him 7 times and we won 0. Are we just playing make believe now?
Agree. - L
Not 1 question on why Will Osula wasn't used when Isak went off injured vs Palace and therefore why he was purchased and put in the squad if the manager has absolutely no intention of using him Gordon is no number 9
It’s unbelievable no 1 is asking this question
He's kind if already discussed Osula. It's a mirror of Hall. - L
@GeordieJournos Yeah ok should of just put the lad in the under 21s least he would be getting game time our manager baffles me
Why didn’t any body think to ask him about osula when he said at the start it’s hard to play without a striker?
I think it’s clear he doesn’t think Osula is ready, whether you agree with that or not.
- J
Nice to see you lads actually be able to get a word in.

It’s not hard to realise the main problem is Howe refuses to player trade, he wants really expensive signings but doesn’t want to sell anyone to fund it.

Sick to death of journos not asking anything remotely decent when there is so many things we want answered.

Why won’t a single journo ask Howe why he’s terrified to player trade? Sell 1 big player every 2 years and keep building but he won’t, he wants to keep all his mates in one place constantly.
Go and look at bournemouths signings when they had Howe and now look at the signings since he’s left, the improvement is outrageous. Get him out of this club!!!! #HoweOUT
Spot on. Howe is the main problem. He's set us back by keeping deadwood and signing Championship players
And Mitchell can't give Howe all our budget as they would severely limit our ability to make a change and bring in another manager if it doesn't work out with Howe

I couldn't hear your questions in the tough presser Jordan. Mic problem?
I say "tough" as that's how it felt. EH looked the most knackered I've seen him, mentally and physically.
Masterclass by Howe not putting a striker on the pitch to make Guehi look decent.
Players look bored playing same formation, we’ve lost the high intensity press and the right hand side that did so well for us with tripper and miggy out of the team, that needs replaced and freshened up but if we still can’t spend on players the other option to freshen team up is a change of manager which could make things even worse or better
Great video lads, all I want from the Liverpool game is a team that tries for 90 minutes, no heads going down or looking pissedf off, I can accept the defeat but not a team that doesn't try.
Clubs usually sign nobody in January so people need a reality check. It's more likely we will sign nobody.
Yep, teams won't sell their better players in January and anyone you can get you pay over the odds for. Doubt we'll splash the cash til the summer
@@yogihightower well top managers call it the panic window stupid prices
Can,t remember keegan or robson spending 400 million and whinge on,howe couldn't tie either of there bootlaced.
I do think it's a bit of an insult to talk of Howe in those terms right now. Long way to go, particularly with what Robson achieved as a manager. - L

I agree, I just think they are forcing him to leave by giving him no gametime

Winter or summer that shouldn’t matter, players aren’t on a 6 month contract. PSR should be reducing prices it’s massively deflationary. No one can sell shit. This is Mitchell’s window can he do nothing?
Howe and Mitchell must find a way to work together.

@@GeordieJournos your right but, Mitchell is the Director it’s on him to find a way to satisfy the managers demands. It’s also on him to have a good window, that’s what his main function is, the rest is fluff.
Howe out.
had 100 million pounds worth of players on the bench most of the season, spent 15 million on a striker but brought a winger on saying he didn't have a striker. i have never saw a manager given so many excuses. its PSR, its injuries, it is not his 4-3-3 and style of play that was sussed 18 months ago, it is everything except that. had one target in the summer that he wanted to overspend on then panicked and tried to get elanga at the death but bought osula. we are poor and have been for over a year, some of our positive results this season have been undeserved. i can't see us getting europe, with or without signings. i think he has gone as far as he can. players turning up only for big games are putting themselves in the shop window
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think we should go for a back 10 to create a tortoise shell around our box to make it appear like we're holding out for a 0-0 when we're actually not, then when Liverpool run out of ideas at the death we do one filthy counter attack and score to win 1-0 in the 97th minute
😂 I like your approach!
- J
By the way have,nt all previous managers been hamstring by lack of money,they just did,nt have a fancy name of PSR to hide behind
we need andrea pirlo as player manager ? 😂😂😂😂😂
We are going to struggle massively against the scouse. They have our number for years and will not suffer from the same small club mentality like Arsenal. With their speedy players they are going to catch us on the break and we will be soundly beaten if we are asleep at the wheel again. I have no faith Eddie Howe would be able to overcome Liverpool. That does not matter much if he can get back to the final of the league cup. I still prefer Jose to instil a winner mentality into the players.
It’s no wonder Liverpool haven’t lost to Newcastle in 15 games…
- J
We lost 5 games in the 22/23 season lads. Liverpool (H & A), City (A), Villa (A), Arsenal (H).
Lost to and drew to Luton H and A
Also we ain’t a top tier club we never will be unless pif start getting serious
Aye I'm sorry lads I watched video we have the same opinions I watched someone say we only a few points off champions league and that made me mad as hell because we are playing terrible even a win tonight won't change my mind about Howe as much as don't like man u look what that manager has done we need a manager in by jan not Eddie howe
Amazed you guys just pick Joelinton without any discussion. Take a look at his stats for the Palace game. He contributed nothing! In general, he’s been like that all season. And yes, I haven’t forgotten about his goal on the right. Plays like he’s got a hangover most of the time.
Fair shout. Those Palace stats were abysmal. - L
If they don't sign reinforcements in January then the club faces losing all of its stars in the summer if the malaise continues leading to no Euro football!
No signings will be made in January
Longstaff should not be anywhere near the starting 11 when we have Tonali. That shows how poor Howe is that he picks mediocre local boy over proven international superstar.
Howe has to find a way of getting the best out of Tonali. After all, he did sign him for £55m. That’s a lot of money in a PSR world.
- J
Well I think tomorrow's game is a given result
Eddie Howe is piss poor at selling players to recoup funds. Missed the chances to sell Dubravkha, Wilson, Almiron, Lacelles and Trippier when he could do so. Ended up giving away players like Clark, Hendrick, Fernandez, Matty Longstaff, Fraser for free. Come on, get some funds in man.
We played good 2 times this season rest were poor just ground our results anyone can see we are poor and Eddie can not motivate the team a few seasons ago them players would have ran through walls for him not happing this season
We think the first team have problems ffs I've just watched Boston beat are B team and it was like watching Benny hill and laurel n Hardy at times.. Worrying tbh.
Newcastle are still years away from having a proper academy system.

Who have these journos managed?
Your animosity. 👋- L
his press conferences are about exciting as his football at the moment plus stale dressing room =zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz on and off the pitch...eddy has took us as far as he can ,time to go imo...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. - L
To be fair you guy's look deflated like me
Load of bullshit from howe last year injuries this Yr psr.never his fault.
I will take Maxi over Barnes any day of the week. Barnes is just pedestrian and besides his shooting does nothing for the team. Can't believe we blew cash on him.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour by you lot he was backed we are mid table with a manager who expects to be mid table and all this shit off you even if we syne some one he won't play them for ages stop the excuses and be happy with us fighting relegation
I take it you didn’t watch our video?
- J
@GeordieJournos nope but I'm sorry about language but just watched the bit where people are saying Eddie hasn't been backed he has been he takes to long to put players in team just was a bit peed off I'm a passionate fan and I want us to do well but I will watch all the video today as I said sorry about language id just watched a different channel and was mad as hell and playing Liverpool tonight wasn't helping
Howe has been backed to the hills... The football style of howe is not gonna take us anywhere, its based of just running on the counter attack sorry but its garbage. Buying Osula and keep saying he is not ready etc and his post interviews are rubbish. Ppl act like how has won something for us and is this elite manager, why ppl dont think FA came in for howe? cause the football he plays is worse than southgate. We need a new manager that is attacking offensive ball possession minded
