It's too soon to say anything about Howe.
Has he done as expected? No, he's done more than was expected. So, he has rightfully earned plaudits and lots of time for himself if we go through a bad patch. I know eventually, we will have a bad season - in fact, if we limp into the Europa League and don't sign players, atleast 4 would be needed, I think next season will be a bad season.
Also, as Newcastle progress, we will become a team chasing trophies and if Howe is the man to deliver silverware is the true question.
I sometimes think he's too soft and doesn't have a killer instinct when it comes to big moments.
Let's not panic either.
Howe will be out on his arse the minute the milk starts to sour....
He's done too well .....now a large portion will see 10th next season as unacceptable which is really wouldn't be imo.
I don't know quite how this group of players has got into this position, but It highly unlikely to repeat.

I'm not I'm more than happy with 6th or 7th and I've been warning people that they're too fixed on 4th and will kill the buzz of Europa.
The problem is, Champions League is far better for us. If we get Europa League then fixture congestion will be a big issue.
I have serious concerns if we are in Europa and don't sign enough good players, we will be struggling in the league, its happened so many times to so many teams.
I absolutely agree it's potentially club changing and it's why I think they'll fail. Newcastle united never do the business when it comes to the crunch.
Agree Champs league is by far the better option. Way more money, better for getting players we want in the summer and going forward. It's proven time after time that teams struggle when in those lower value European comps. If you want to progress and Europe is better than none but top 4 this season would make a big difference imo. Also I think we have got a bit lucky this year that teams like Liverpool & Chelsea have gone off the boil creating a pretty unique opportunity.
Didn’t you say that after the first half last week?Emery showed everyone how to deal with Newcastle that's a concern.
Nothing to do with the players being awful today then?Unai Emery totally out coached EH today.
We couldn't even string passes together in their own half while they were having a field day on our own.
For now as a squad player yes, going forward probably no one did. Mind after today there’s plenty others did as bad and worse.I'm just wondering if people still think Murphy is good enough.

Miggy scores one of his two good chances and it could have been a different game. Small margins at times although we deserved nowt from that gameHowe changed it at half time but today it failed.
