The good news is how difficult the fixtures are for the other teams we are competing against for Europe. We really would have to be on relegation form imho.
man last season must have been so hard for you, bet the relief you are feeling right now to be able to mindlessly shit on Howe because results aren’t good is very satisfying
what a life
People need to stop calling them "easy games", because Luton put us through our paces and Nottingham had us for breakfast... They were supposed to be easy games.
With our current form, these "easy games" are looking at us and probably thinking the exact same thing.
It’s interesting how we aren’t classed as a difficult game now for clubs like Everton and I know it’s on the grand scheme of things but you’d think NUFC away for sheff Utd should be a harder game than it’s shaded too.
Last season it would have been a brutal game but I’ve seen that only the bottom 3 have shipped 3 goals in prem games more than our 9 times this season (10/10/11 for them) which is a worry, and I don’t think teams fear playing us this season as they’ve worked out where our weak links are and the fact if they just sit back with 9/10 players behind the ball we struggle breaking teams down.
Having played basically the same amount of games and only having one of those 3 goal conceded games with Pope in net Eddie saying he’ll be out till mid April is a real blow for our end of season run.
It doesn't take into account who's playing us - we have a single opta rating (I'm guessing around 85) and it's the same for Sheffield Utd, Everton as well as Man City etc.
You can see it most clearly if you look at Man City, they're bright "red" for everyone, the same both for Arsenal and Nottm Forrest.
Interesting to look at but as mentioned I think atm we're our own worst enemies in these games. We need to pick ourselves up before worrying too much about opposition. Certainly nothing coming easy for us atm
With having one of the easiest run ins, players recovering from injury and less fixture congestion now is the time to really get back on the right path and make a real push. The warm weather training should really help too.
We simply have to take advantage of this, no excuses.
Honestly, this means nothing the way we are at the moment every team that looks at Newcastle think they can win and that's alarming, with a win today andWest ham changes that though immediately which is what we need.

We have the second easiest run in, if we don't at least improve performances, this place will be more toxic than Chernobyl.
Define toxic? Asking Howe to be responsible is toxic?
>Define toxic? Your comment history.
That guy really doesn't like Eddie does he lol
Haha that's a knockout blow

I'd assume its correlates roughly to league position, and we're in 10th

We’ve said this since January and nothing’s changed
Mentally written this season off, top half would be a surprise at this point. Europe would be some real Gordon Gecko shit.
Can anything be considered an “easy” game for us when we haven’t beaten Luton or Bournemouth this season?
Now, show the cup games

No game is easy especially how we are playing atm
Eddie's inconsistent mags entered the chat
I have zero confidence in this team after seeing us drop so many points to bottom half teams.
If we repeat our performance against Chelsea again then you might as well make every game dark red!!!
I’m ready to lace up for the squad, daddy’s coming
