Newcastle United: Bandro Tonali

[GoonerJeeves]

I think people overstate the attraction of the England job. Maybe if you are on the way down, like Allardyce was, or if you cannot get the big jobs in the Premier League, like Southgate, it could hold an attraction.

Eddie Howe will not leave Newcastle for England now.

What has surprised me about Newcastle is how good they are defensively, joint best defence in the league with us.

Howe is a good manager and played some lovely football at Bournemouth at times but he didn't get the defence anything close to solid in his whole time there. There leakiness at the back ultimately cost them their place in the Premier League and his job.

What's scary is that they are stepping up very quickly, in my mind they are already a top 4 chasing side and have brought well, next year they will be even more dangerous.

I think they are good because they are focusing on the most effective footballing system in the game right now. That is a focused attention on high energy football, combined with the complete stopping of the opposition through detailed tactical work in every phase of the game.

This focus is due to the work done by Pep and Klopp and their teams. They have brought about a new thinking to the game.

Of course Newcastle’s quality signings play a big role as well, but I still would lean more towards Howe’s system and planning, because we see a similar strength with De Zerbi and soon Emery too, with their lesser spending.

Newcastle have both the system and money, and thus will fly high for a long time still. But I also see the league becoming more detailed and difficult all round, as a result of this hyper attention to details nowadays.

Worse defenders at Bournemouth tbh. At Newcastle he has the likes of Trippier, Schär and Burn to work with. (Haven't watched enough of Botman to praise him)

Howe is doing a good job, however will never take him seriously whilst he manages that club. Easy to forget they are another one of the state run clubs and the worst of all.

Howe was unemployed for more than a year so he had a lot of time to analyse why his defence was consistently awful.

Honestly, fair play to him. We all do and say stupid things. Decent of Almiron to accept the apology.

Joelinton has been charged with drink driving. It will be interesting to see if the club discipline him he's quite a key man for them.

It would result in a public flogging or even imprisonment in Saudi Arabia!

Proper dickheads and ****s in this team. Really unlikable bunch of players and fans. I hope we smash them back to Riyadh in April.

Guimares with the clearest straight red card of the season.

This carries over into the league, doesn't it?

Massive blow to Newcastle.

I was going to say it can't possibly be worse than Felix's but, good grief

That was a disgusting challenge by Guimares...very fortunate that the leg didn't break.

He’s a scumbag and I’ve a feeling that’s why Arteta didn’t fancy him.

Damn, Atsu was at Chelsea a few years ago iirc
