Eddie Howe Press Conference Reaction!

[@darrencox2340]

Alternative view, if Gordon gets injured Barnes is our next best option on the left, we are always talking about squad strength, he's worth keeping for that and sub appearances alone, decent player.

[@ATierney85]

You could argue that Joelinton is our 2nd choice LW

[@CrocTheCrocodile.]

Great show. Fingers crossed for tomorrow

[@jonbetts3619]

Watching late. Amazing news about Botman. HWTL

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Ditchey, good show this was, If I cant watch it live I watch it the following morning, I matched most of your player ratings, its good that if Newcastle players get injured there's someone there to fill his place, this is Choppy

[@robweaver6618]

Listen to every show people paul doesn't say Eddie out.

[@KyleThompson26]

Always been a massive supporter to this channel and always think there’s a lot of good points made.. but a think it’s hard for Eddie and us fans to realise which is our best and most balanced side, but it feels more complicated then people realise

[@TC-qd1zw]

Time he left no2. Going the same way it did at Bournemouth when he was there. Thank you for your time. Now you can spend some of your millions.

[@stevecooke2893]

Great news about Botman, fingers crossed he's back soon. Tricky decision on who to leave out. Can't really blame the lads for being knackered, it sounded like they put in hell of a shift. It was a bit of a victory Wednesday. We expected a hiding, they're the best in the league atm and we cost them 2 points in the title race. Would have been 3 if not for dodgy refs. That's a great result.

[@MrSinclairn]

Good TTR summary,Paul & Billy : Decent result against LFC,the other night,but back in London again,this weekend,so NUFC should be good for a win against Brentford,but wouldn't be surprised for another draw again ! 😐

[@steveelliott285]

I think psychologically the Liverpool was huge. It was a big game and tomorrow is bigger still for me.

[@buster83]

We need to try and keeps barns as others have said if Gordon gets injured then we are very lacking. All the big clubs have many first team worthy players on the bench and that’s where we need to try and get to in every position so selling a pretty good backup in any position is madness.

[@Garrin1977]

I love Murphy. Has a few dodgy games, but he can cross, shoot and his overall attitude is great

[@troyanstone65]

I love him too. He'll score regularly from here on, he's a tryer and his attitude lifts the team and makes a difference imo.

[@Garrin1977]

@ definitely. Agreed

[@galacticfederations]

Barnes ..what happens if and when we go to 3 game weeks with European+domestic cups squad rotation is important even today Howe says Gordon tired and I suspect will play an hour tomorrow replaced by Barnes. Selling assist that we've spent the last few seasons building is not the way forward. If players don't reach the grade then fine but Barnes is notching as an impact sub.

[@galacticfederations]

Not sure why Sam felt the need to slash up a players back with the Dubs thinks he better then he is comment. Does she really know how and what Dubs thinks.

[@andywatson1892]

Not always agreed with you Paul but I've never heard you say you want Eddie out!

[@TheToonReview]

If we all agreed with each other we’d have nothing to talk about.

[@hiitsme9042]

I think the deals are already done so they don't get into a bidding war like last time.

[@Looney-toon]

I am in favour of selling Harvey Barnes, he has moments of brilliance but has no consistency, we need a better RW.

[@troyanstone65]

Absolutely agree.

[@Brunos-magic-hat]

What happens if Gordon gets injured though?

[@colmkeane2586]

@@Brunos-magic-hat we have willock and joelinton who can fill in there if needed

[@Brunos-magic-hat]

@@colmkeane2586 hmmm yeah I suppose but it’s playing lads out of position again. We could do with a winger that’s capable of playing both sides well.

[@susanfegan5028]

Tbf Barnes is a left winger

[@ZombieG24]

A bit harsh on Barnes, Gordon has only put in good performances against the top sides, and he has been given so many more chances than Barnes. If Barnes doesn't score in 1 game he gets dropped, if gordon doesn't score he gets 3 or 4 more starts to make things right. Barnes has helped us get 10 points this season (just from goals and assists) where as Gordon 6.

[@abhishekbane5428]

Finally someone said truth

[@JulieDorsetBelle]

Gordon offers SO much more to the whole game - his tracking back and link up play is excellent...

[@ZombieG24]

@@JulieDorsetBelle Don't agree. He's a worse finisher, less flair on the ball, he is quicker and has a better cross on him, also consistently ignores hall's overlap and then loses the ball with a pass inside. But is that down to tactics I have no idea.

[@arthuringle1550]

You can't sell Harvey Barnes he's one of the best players we have what on Earth are they thinking.

[@seancoulson7584]

i cant see why we should blame Target for signing a contract offered to him - whi was in charge of contract negotiations - could it be the same person who should have done proper due diligence on Tonali's position???? just sayin

[@JulieDorsetBelle]

Lady Sam - since when has Targett ever let Newcastle down? FFS! Kelly is cover for CB and Targett for LB...

[@JaimePineda-r9z]

I did not understand that purchase because he was not an upgrade on Gordon

[@JulieDorsetBelle]

Probably bought for squad depth - ya know - two for every position...he was also a good price...

[@JaimePineda-r9z]

He is a more clinical finisher,lacks pace and does not pressure

[@steveelliott285]

Hunger. That’s all it is. Will see tomorrow how much is there.

[@JulieDorsetBelle]

Hunger and will to win is always there - the problem is teams playing at 'brick walls' and double/trebling up on some of our players - that's what has to be overcome...

[@andywatson1892]

I'm still on fence, with one legs hanging over each side 🤣🤣🤣 He needs to be able to sign some quality players and then be judged. Can't judge him too hard when squad still full of surplus to requirements!!!!

[@CCkhT21o681]

Eddie lied about the club only selling and not bringing in players in the summer. How can he omit Kelly, Osula and Vlachodimos???? Imagine their morale hearing Eddie talk like that...

[@trevorarkle124]

Fatigue, arse covering in case we are back to W.H CP We either have a massive fitness issue .no bench available? Question what would happen if we were and we are not in Europe ? The dressing room must be buzzing not Fatigue the addreinlin must be high sky Trevor Thailand

[@jasoncowan9417]

(hello to all the little people in viewer land) don't get to excited about tomorrow could be a completely different performance to the Liverpool game as we've seen so much this season

[@PM77-j2n]

Guve it a rest billy 😴

[@Stvnpetersen]

I don't know what motivates you guys. You obviously don't like EH, and I don't understand why. Maybe you'd have preferred Unai Emery and were disappointed when Eddie signed? However, I enjoy the show, I just wish you be more supportive and less critical. Obviously, I'm going to be slated as a happy clapper, but I'm Black and White from head to toe and always have been... I just despair at the negativity 😢

[@jonathanburn4388]

apparently we have to sell before we buy in January so dont be surprised if eddie isnt backed for a 4th window

[@williamhill7701]

Paul are you Howe in now ? You changed you’re tune now one result can really change an opinion.

[@TheToonReview]

I have never said Eddie out! Not once! Get your facts right!

[@Garrin1977]

I disagree with Eddie. I do think it’s an attitude problem. Look at Isak, he was back to how he was when he first came. Recently he begrudged even running at times. Liverpool game shows what he can do when he wants to. We have had nothing up front for too long now. If that’s wrong then it’s eddies fault for not getting their heads in right place for those types of games

[@terenceankers]

Paul, you must be frustrated when you have repeatedly said you don't want how out.

[@terenceankers]

I was a bit critical of Murphy, to be fair he was OK on Wednesday. But he's still not good enough to be on the pitch.
