Lols. No, Krafth went off with, erm, illness. Gordon got an impact injury prolly. Trippier has a bump to the noggin it would seem.
The players have been run into the ground... the number of injuries keeps increasing, yet Howe keeps throwing more lambs to the slaughter. The style of play his now something the players are now incapable of playing anyway and his in game management is dreadful. If the solution is giving him more money that's not a solution.
I have a really bad feeling this is exactly what is upon us. I mean If he makes a couple of subs in added time and newcastle go down holding heads they would be in the semi final. There's absolutely nothing done he does nothing and just let's it happen time and time again... Well Bruce was the same in this area actually and guess what the fans spoke of it. They're useless at the dark arts.
We went into the match at 100mph again, got a very lucky goal then were completely gone after 30 minutes. Outplayed PSG style for the entire match and fully deserved to lose, yet again. I think he's complicit in these bog standard Championship players part of his core setup. He's about things like Britishness, effort, loyalty ahead of ability. He seems to much prefer a "distance covered" stat to "xG". Has he done incredible, Bournemouth-esque things to get us from 19th to 4th? Absolutely. Is he now doing Bournemouth-esque things such as the same style over and over and over expecting history to repeat itself? Absolutely. This is him. None of this makes him a bad man or an awful manager, but there needs to be a reality check in the club about our ambitions. 5-10 years from NOW we're not winning a trophy with Howe.
I absolutely agree mate I mean any manager watching that game would've emptied his bench purely to break up the game in injury time, but he did absolutely nothing. Newcastle haven't won a domestic trophy for 67 years, it's 90 mins in with 4 minutes of injury time, the other team is dominating and he just hoped and did nothing. He did nothing in the same way at PSG ... he doesn't do anything.
Everyone one of his yes and the end result saw him losing to managers like Steve Bruce and loses almos every week. I mean It doesn't take much to see the similarities.
