Anges after match interview on talksport was very spiikey. He also kept saying we deserved to win blah blah. Yeah we played well all things considered but not sure I agree with him on that point.


Sure if Newcastle gad to they would have stepped up.

If you get the time have a listen to Simon Jordans podcast with Eddie Howe. After listening he is a big no from me.

Comes across as likeable but quite week Howe would not join a club without his full backroom team does not feel he is as effective without them. About the England job basically said he does not want the pressure of that.

To me came across as uninspiring, unambitious and a not a strong front man.

I've seen that. Howe is a very likeable bloke who handled Jordan's agenda driven questions well. I think he is a good manager too. I'd have wanted him at one point but I did start to ask a lot of questions over the defensive side while he was at Bournemouth and I think that is what ultimately got him relegated in the end. Kind of akin to what we're seeing with Ange.

I think we could get dragged into that relegation fight. Especially if those players don’t return and hit the ground running immediately. It didn’t improve much when they all came back last year.

If we lose to Arsenal and Everton, to be on 24 points going into February, it’s precarious at best.

One positive is that at least Ange hasn't lost the dressing room. They put in a shift today. If we start putting in performances where it looks like the dressing room has been lost then we can maybe worry about being in a relegation battle.

Don't know if he has lost the dressing room or not, but, judging by his conduct at the post-game interview, it sure looks like he is losing his professionalism and self control.
