Tiny mouth twat.
How good is Eddie Howe?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Only 1 win in from the 7 games since they beat us 1-0, where are all the Newcastle in crisis articles and fake dressing room leaks?
He’s good, just having a bad run. Some good attacks, but defending was shambolic. They made Elanga look good.
He's not good; actually he's really far from it.
About as good as Eth by the looks of it
That's certainly the sort of shocking performance and result that will start putting him under immense pressure.
Liverpool away and North east derby in the cup up next....

I think it might have something to do with the fact they don’t have too many fans.
How many players are they missing at present?
I wonder if they're in the same boat as us, not many great alternatives. Though Potter would probably do well there.
Too many.. And some important ones too. Pope and Tonali were starter. They are also missing Barnes, Willock among others.
Newcastle will sack Eddie, we'll stick with ETH, and they'll appoint the guy we should be going for.
They’ve had a few back recently, so it’s not as bad as it used to be but it’s looking like Howe made a big mistake with not rotating whatsoever over 5+ games or so, not even making subs in some of those games. It seems to be catching up to them now
I kind of feel like this recent form was always coming and kind of always there. They'll beat better teams keeping things tight and being combative. Some good set piece takers and a lot to aim at. A good cup team that will punch above its weight. But when they need to take the initiative and break down teams happy for a 0-0 (most of the league at this point) then theres not much guile or class. Or not enough at least.
I dont think they're bad or doing terribly though. I just think the league is strong relative to what they can put on the pitch. A few injuries is enough to close a pretty small gap to Vila, Spurs and Brighton.
On Howe he always seemed like a good stopgap until they could get someone better really. I think i'd be pretty happy if he was still there in 2 years time. Maybe its a good time to move on. Will probably have to take a step or two back to really move forward from competing and potentially missing out on top 4 to qualifying consistently. Just dont think their current set up will get them there.

Will he be sacked before Hag?
So. Two starters. One of them in goals. How is that “too many”?
Media have always had a soft spot for Newcastle and going back to days of when the Premier League started when Sky crowned them the "entertainers"
He's not good. Just average.
The bell may be about to toll for beheadie Eddie!
He's their Mark Hughes. Time to bring someone foreign in if Newcastle want to reach the next level.
Not against you or your comments, just wondering who that would be Naglesman? Rose? Enrique? Xabi? in your opinion
Newcastle to offer Xabi Alonso one of the biggest managerial contracts in football.
Doesn’t usually happen with the small clubs.
I'm actually surprised how long it taken for him to get found out.
I wouldn't blame Howe for that run of results. If anything he massively over performed in the previous months with that squad.
I'd give him at least one transfer window with 2 decent signings before sacking him this summer.

So now Howe is a rubbish manager because he isn’t top 4 with players like Longstaff and Dan Burn? Newcastle will probably sack him but I think he is doing a very good job
Or maybe there isn't a leaking culture at Newcastle like there so clearly is at United.
Potter seems to be the only one lined up so let them at it.
And whoever that guy might be would stand no chance if he inherited this same group of players. Until we overhaul the squad (as much by getting rid of certain as by adding others), nothing will change.
Hopefully halfway to this already, gommy faced twat.
Becoming more and more like twitter this forum.
"Surprised it took this long for him to get found out'.
So just ignore the previous 18 months of great work then and judge it on the last 5-7 matches with no context in terms of squad depth and injuries?

Media treating Howe vs media treating us.
Classic case of a manager massively over-achieving over a season and then people having unrealistic expectations the following season. I’d expect him to turn it around when his team is better rested but it was always going to be a very difficult first half to the season, with the Champions League group being so difficult as well.
Honestly, I don't know. But if the United board don't think ETH is the man for the job and have identified replacements, they're better off making the move now before the Newcastle job becomes vacant.
The sad reality right now is the Newcastle job is probably a more attractive proposition for the best available coaches in Europe.
I was going to say "Hey Yoko, what position are Newcastle in?" "Number 8 *burp*" but then I noticed that we're the cnuts in eighth place.
Why is it?
It's amazing the easy ride Newcastle and Chelsea are getting when you consider the trolling United are getting on social media.
I guess it's just an indication that United are still a big deal.

Mr. Howe is loser
And I think he's a (abstracted for legal reasons)
More money and better players, for the most part.
If only that was all coaches cared about
Decent early job, but having a pretty woeful season so far.
Everyone knows he's the Mark Hughes of the project. Will be out the door the second they're allowed to really lash the wad.
