I agree the injury excuse is getting on now but I do still think howe has done a better job than pochettino

[@jamescooper2760]

I know Specs struggles to put an argument together but I think I would actually agree with him. I think the expectation for Chelsea was that they would recover from last season and be a top team again this season. That hasn’t happened. Don’t think anyone (apart from Lewis) expected Newcastle to stay top 4 and have now been bought down to their actual standard. From a Wolves fan btw

[@joshu1179]

I feel like a lot of the context he applied for Newcastle, you can literally apply for Chelsea. He’s on about Newcastles injuries but there literally hasn’t been a more injury ridden squad than Chelsea this season. Chelsea’s entire back line and most of their good forwards have been injured at many points of the season, so much so that a lot of players have been playing out of position at times. Chelsea have not performed well this season at all and they were expected to be there or there abouts in regards to top 4. But with an injury ridden squad it can’t be easy and with a complete set of new players, as well as being in the final of a cup competition. I think Poch has been better the Howe this season.

[@BikYsl]

To any logical person that wouldn't be the expectation for chelsea. Lewis's arguement of "chelsea spent a billion so the expectation is them too be good" is riduculous, it's impossible to stay at the top level at the prem after completely resetting your team and having too work with 30 new players with no chemistry, this hasn't been seen in football but anyone who follows any other sports knows teams like this don't work and definetly not immediately regardless of how good the players are. Combining that with how poor chelsea was last season after tuchel was sacked it'd probably be expected that chelsea should be doing worse then they currently are hence imo potchettino and chelsea are exceeding expectations this season.

[@joshu1179]

@@BikYsl I wouldn’t go as far to say chelsea are exceeding expectations however chelsea are not doing as bad as a lot of casual people are making them out to be doing. Chelsea with the squad they have are underperforming. Yes it’s a completely new squad but with the talent in said squad and with the way they’ve performed in some games, chelsea should be a lot better. But they are definitely not hopeless and there are serious signs of growth.

[@LiamsFriendStewie]

That was not the expectation. Objectively you’re wrong. If YOU expected Chelsea to be top again that’s fine, it’s quite clearly a project. You can’t just throw kids together and expect a challenge vs a long settled City & co. I’m surprised I have to explain this to you.

[@Kraayy]

As a chelsea fan, we never expected to finish top 4. This is a new era with a new project and I, and every other chelsea fan I know, didn't have us finishing top 4. I thought 7th tbh. I think the fact that most prem fans have been slating Chelsea has taken away from the fact that we got to a cup final in the worst period over the past20-30 years. I don't think we'll win it but the fact that we got there is enough for most of us

[@matty_mls]

As mad as some of lewis' shouts are, hes completely correct and the rest are chatting bollocks. Anyone calling for howe's head is delusional, newcastle fan or otherwise.

[@joepengelly8403]

No one was calling for howe’s head but lewis has no argument besides “1 billion pounds” as if it’s 1 billion of luxury players. Realistically it’s 1 billion over 2 years to replace the core team of both keepers going, rudiger, christenson, azpi, emerson, alonso, kovacic, jorghino, kante, mount, pulusic, ziyech, abraham, giroud, havertz, werner and more.

[@pogbamoney9415]

​@@ikeeastlake3316 Net spend definitely matters, especially when Newcastle fans try to throw Chelsea's spending habits in their face, when Newcastle have also been spending hundreds of millions without raising any funds. Chelsea have sold hundreds of millions in assets and also bought hundreds of millions in assets. Newcastle have sold maybe 15 quid worth of players and spent 400M in the last three seasons. It's really not hard to understand but let me put it like this: if you make money, you can spend money. 'nEt SpEnD aRgUmEmT iS sIlLy' might be one of the silliest things I've ever heard, we'll see if FFP agrees with you.

Did I miss something, when did Newcastle become the worst defence in the league?

[@johnroberts8831]

Pretty hard to adapt to a new style of play without your players. Lewis knows his club like most Newcastle fans. Chelsea for having bought a new team, spent a hefty amount are massively underperforming considering they have broken financial fair play rules also. Howe has done and alright job considering and got the best out of some players. Poch has done little to nothing and relied on Sterling to bail him out who had a short spell.

Theo kept listing wrong facts this episode my god. Saying arsenal had the biggest away win this season, Alexis Sanchez winning a premier league and gerrard winning two champions leagues???? Comes to show he’s ball knowledge is so dead…

[@eslayer7629]

Newcastle gets champions league and then their head starts swelling bro

[@jasonmcmath3081]

This is absolute comic brilliance. There is no way of having a conversation with Lewis about anyone being better than his beloved Newcastle! 😂

Never thought I’d agree with the geordie… I’m shocked😮

[@itsskinnymems]

5 points off where they were last season isn't ridiculous its just that they got top 4 last season because the standard of those "normal" top 4 teams dropped. Liverpool fell to 6th, Chelsea had the dropoff of dropoffs, even Tottenham fell off hard. They snuck their way into top 4 last season and now that those teams have regained form (with the exception of Chelsea) and in general the league has got more competitive at the top (w/ the likes of Tottenham being good again and Villa doing class), they can't expect top 4 with the group of players they have: most of that squad is still from that Steve Bruce era when they were languishing in the drop

[@ellisphythian7849]

I agree with Lewis, poch is meant to be an elite manager and he's 10th and newcastle have had to play games with hardly any experienced subs

[@bt123p]

The question is whose had a better season this season and reev keeps bringing up last season which is irrelevant to the question whose had a better season THIS season. I’m not on either side equally bad seasons but irritated me using both sides of the argument when only one argument was made.

The title alone was worth clicking for icl

[@lamarnolan6727]

at this point its just tiring bcs lewis overrates newcastle so much that it makes the rest of them underrate newcastle

[@aopgaming4728]

The problem with this argument is that managers need 2-3 seasons to gel the squad and get a team together that plays their style. Take Arteta for example he took that Arsenal squad to second but he had 2 seasons before that having to iron out issues and find the key to their style of play, this should be something revisited in 2 seasons if both managers are still there and look at the beginning of the journey and where they end up. Some context has to come into like finance and squad depth but Newcastle have the finance as well they just haven’t thrown it around as much as Chelsea have recently

[@kurthallimond8916]

Newcastle doesn't have the finances they've struggled all season poch spent more this season than Howe has at Newcastle his whole career

[@aopgaming4728]

@@kurthallimond8916 they literally do have the financial resources but are being clever and blowing loads of money and getting caught up in a FFP issue like other clubs have, they could go and throw £200 million around in the summer if they wanted but it would bite them straight away instead they have to play the long game purchasing players over a few years to create a financial pool in which expands the amount they can spend each window with FFP capping them

[@kurthallimond8916]

@@aopgaming4728 Newcastle don't have the finances the owners do and that isn't a reflection of how much money a club has we're touted as the richest club in the world when we're 8th in England alone

[@kurthallimond8916]

As a Newcastle fan i can see both sides i do think howe would scrape in the top three of managers to be sacked but he isnt ahead of poch you can argue he's in a cup final but unless you win it really it doesn't matter what round you exit but in reality if Chelsea arent in a spot to challenge for a European spot the managers jobs always at risk whereas howes probably got a get out of jail free card for last season's endeavours and the fact he's been shafted all season one key player returns another two get injured is the story this year
