That Osula goal is still on repeat in our house. It goes into my top 5 #nufc goals. Last minute. A man down. Vs Manure. Perfect. 👌

So we bought two strikers in the summer for a combined £125m - one we play in midfield (but actually look better without him in the team) and the other can’t even get on the pitch now. 👀 that’s a worry. #nufc
#nufc Joelinton is getting sent off in this second half. No doubt about it.
I remember watching that as a kid and going mental. What a goal.
I think we can be friends.
I can’t see a #nufc win tonight I’m afraid. You have two teams on very different trajectories. Man Utd only have the PL to worry about, we have the City & Barcelona games right around the corner. Those make or break our season imo. No Bruno either. It’s another painful loss.
His reputation is built on being a superb coach and man manager. He’s always concerned about player welfare etc. Which is why players like to play for him I guess. It’s also his biggest weakness tho as (like you say) he struggles to cut declining players loose quickly enough.
I think a lot of it will come down to that disaster transfer window and who PIF blame for it. If Howe was front and centre on the Wissa, Woltemade & Elanga deals then he could be in trouble. I hope he gets time but this is football.
Our PL form could be the end for Howe. It’s so bad that he may now need to win either the FA cup or the CL to keep his job…unless we have a late surge up the league. It’s similar to the big Ange situation at Spurs but there’s a catch - we aren’t winning the CL & we have Man City in the FA cup. #nufc
It was just shocking defending from Birmingham. I could have scored both. Target has found his level down in the Championship.
Given that #nufc tried desperately to sign Sesko….and failed miserably - I would put £50 on him scoring at least two against us on Wednesday evening.
Our Champions League form is irrelevant because we aren’t going to win it. Yes it’s nice to be competing with the best teams + the financial aspects but eventually we get knocked out and are left counting the cost of a dreadful PL campaign. There’s no Europe next year. #nufc
Fair play to Pickford btw. That save was insane. #nufc #EFC
St James’s is a morgue now. If we aren’t winning 4-0 within 5 mins then the fans are basically silent.
You can pass off finishing anywhere from 7th - 10th as an off season but I think we will finish between 12th and 15th given Bruno is out long term. We are dreadful. That’s a huge step backwards in terms of the project. We will lose players like Tonali, Tino, Gordon for sure.
That was shit. I know we are all enjoying the CL run but we aren’t winning it nor the FA cup - our PL form should be the priority but we look awful. Finishing in the bottom half of the table is a total disaster. #nufc
6 mins added. Still plenty of time to equalise and then immediately concede the winner. #nufc
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING NEWCASTLE!!!!!!!!! #nufc
How is it that we’ve signed 17 goal keepers in the last 2/3 seasons and they are all shite? #nufc
Whoops
I’m afraid Howe has got this totally wrong today. No fucking idea why he’s gone with this wonky formation. #nufc
I genuinely think the players have given up on the PL. We are a cup side now. #nufc
St James’s Park is like a morgue. #nufc
Can see that this is going to be a loss already. Another three points dropped. #nufc
I can see why they signed him but the fee was ridiculous for a player of that age and contract situation. Even the goals that he has scored were just wild ricochets off his shins. It all leads back to the mismanagement of the Isak situation.
They’ll have to made a decision in the summer, which will be to either back Woltemade and build a squad around him or sell him at a loss. I just don’t see Howe changing his playing style to suit one player. It really was a disaster of a summer window.
He’s a good player but we aren’t set up for him and never will be. He was a panic buy, no idea who signed off on it but I doubt it was Howe. Wissa is the more damaging deal as he’s clearly garbage and will have no value. Osula is also awful.
