How fickle our fans are, if we lose this tough game it’s Eddie out, if we win he’s amazing. Have we not learned from the way we treated Sir Bobby? 😢

[WOLZY]

Wilson is stealing a living at this point!

[AdrianNUFC]

It's sad to see a big portion of this fanbase talk down a man like Callum Wilson just because of something he can't control himself

[Jakex]

EDDIE HOWES BLACK AND WHITE ARMY LETS PROVE THE DOUBTERS WRONG AGAIN 🙏

[DYL]

Start of the season we were playing poor but getting results and recently we’ve been playing well but not quiet getting the result, I see us getting back to our best soon👏

[IanStephenson-bc]

Great answer on European football .keep smiling eddie. Trust in the players

[flyer]

Guarentee in 3 games time Wilson will be feeling something else

I was waiting on the game replay to share my thoughts, but it seems the channel is intentionally delaying the upload. Still, I have to say, by the end of October 27, 2024, I haven’t seen a game where NUFC has truly performed up to expectations in the 24-25 Premier League season.

2-1 Wolves, merely nothing about the manager, we should thank Harvey 11 and Fabian 5. Tactically we were defeated.
2-1 Tottenham, seems like a great victory, but we were lucky for so many times, otherwise we were lost in the first 15 minutes and this could totally change the game.

For the rest of our games, what exactly is our tactic? Friends keep mentioning NUFC’s supposed "Gegenpress" style. If that’s the case, we should see a quick transition between defense and attack, yet I often see us slowing the tempo after winning possession. Are we aiming for possession play instead? Plus, for Gegenpress, we’d need a strong defensive midfielder to anchor the middle. Bruno 39 plays much further forward, leaving gaps. In that case, Fabian 5 could cover for Bruno, but that requires a fast center-back, and with Dan 33 out there—arguably our slowest player—that’s just not happening.

Also, take a look at Nottingham Forest; we sold them E. Anderson because he supposedly didn’t fit our needs, but look at how many points they’ve racked up. Moreover, we nearly got Unai Emery but ended up with Eddie instead, yet now Aston Villa’s looking like a stronger side than us.

In short, it is really a time that we should look for a better manager.

There’s a collective sigh when Craig Hope asks his questions now.

[edwardcontreras]

Great show. I'm watching this a few days afterward. I like John O's comment on front line, Isak, Wilson and new guy, suggesting that Eddie's approach could use some tweaking! Unload pressure on Isak is a good point, but pressure is really growing on Eddie himself. It is a clinical approach this show on prodding Eddie to tweak his approach and not too gradually urgghhh

[michaeljp]

Love to see the journos ask the right questions one day, so many questions that could have been asked

[herupurwanto]

Come on lads....i need your positive energy's to win this match....i believe to you all❤

[LolsFishingAdventures]

Why cant the journos ask questions about tactics, why we aren't scoring goals etc etc? Everybody knows Gordons signed a new contract now so why ask so many questions about that??

[Ent.Media-kxgb]

The reporters ask the same dull questions as usually.

[secretgardenhomestead]

Journalists:
How good was...
How bad was...
How difficult was...
How much pressure is there to..
HOW ANNOYING change the fucking record

[zaphodbeeblebrox]

One thing i appreciate about Eddie Howe is, he protects the players and the club in every presser, always, but if you read between the lines, answers the question as long as you can put 2 and 2 together.

[ssoolliidd]

Craig Hope with some more really positive questions there...

[nathanthomson]

Craig Hope is ALWAYS focused on a negative angle...

[ToonBano]

Eddie Howe era has already peaked when we beat PSG 4-1.

We will never reach those heights again.

We won't get back in the UCL again as other clubs have over taken us.

As soon as an Elite manager is available and interested we should be getting them in for the next era.

[ronaldwood]

Interesting answer from Eddie that Isak has to improve his current form here and now no matter what happens in the future.

It's gannin beyond just good performances noo as that's nee good with no results like against Brighton.

PSR is doing its job for the protected six and that ensures that rungs are missing in the ladder for everyone else.
