Howe will be gone by December. Yes we had chances but we are so ****ing predictable. Teams have worked out how to play against us. The high press we used to do. Wtf has happened to it?
They're stuck in that season.... it's gone.... right now this side cannot score goals, it's completely gutless when it comes to set pieces. Essential it doesn't work.
We knew some of them weren't good enough years before the takeover. Howe seems to be determined to ruin any chance of winning games with his bizarre player favouritism.
We've got Bruno and Tonali in midfield and we can't keep possession, when Schar or Burn got the ball neither were coming short for it, the defenders have no one to pass to apart from the full backs who then have no one to pass to. So it just goes up the line back to the opposition...i don't know what Howes's gamplan is.
We are so predictable with the ball. RW remains an issue. Murphy is ****. Midfield - Bruno and Tonali are not being used for what they do best. Isak - back from injury but needs the ball to feet. Not aimless 50 yard balls from Schar. Gordon - a shadow of the player he is.
There's just no way Newcastle will ever progress with this small fry manager and his happy family philosophy.
People blaming Howe yet the main change was the appointment of fitness guru Bunce. This has clearly affected our training and our high intensity so that we get fewer injuries. Backfired!
I think its more that we are trying the change from a counter attacking / transitional side to a possession based side and are stuck somewhere in the middle.
My worry with Howe is he doesn't seem to be learning from the same errors, set pieces, nee **** coming short for the ball from the centre backs.. If the opposition don't come at us so we can counter we have no answer, it's a reccuring theme. We've played well in one game this season, Man City. Anyone who thinks we played well v Everton doesn't know football, they wanted us to have the ball.
