My Point of Toon

I wonder if Eddie Howe unleashed his inner Al Pacino in the pre-game team talk last night 🤔

Every player was on their game from KO - first to every ball, every 50/50.

Winning every inch!

#NUFC

▪️A much better performance and super result away from home 🛣

▫️The dynamism 🏃🏻‍♂️of Ramsey & Willock were a big difference maker tonight

▪️Not all our problems are sorted in one night - Defending a lead still scares me ⚠️

▫️Eddie remains our king 🤴🏼 Great moment for the gaffer after the past week 🥳

#NUFC

We're very quick to write people off, even after proclaiming them to be cult heroes!

Previous transfer windows, and boardroom flux are finally catching us up.

Rather than booing which achieves one thing. Unity and acceptance, through gritted teeth, of where we are this season is needed.

#NUFC

As I've repeatedly said, Howe has to do better and more importantly, can do better... But he's not the problem.

If the seemingly growing minority want change, I'd love to know who they think we'll attract now who can get a better tune out of an exhausted and hobbled squad with this schedule.

#NUFC

Rightly so. He's not perfect (but who is) and has made mistakes this season (who doesn't). But he deserves far more patience than the minority seem to be willing to give him.

Ah I see 💡 no apology necessary, that's on me. I just think some of us seemingly need a little more time to sleep on it, or we could be looking at a 'be careful what you wish for' moment.

I did read it 👍🏻 But it shows how fickle we are and short a memory football fans on the whole have. I don't have to scratch my noggings too hard to think back and remember what constituted as boring in black and white.

I hope that we never end up like Arsenal fans You have to laugh…I hope that we never end up like Arsenal fans.

Regretfully, I worry we - as a fan base - are already drifting toward this kind of negative energy #NUFC

If Sir Bobby and his team copped it from fans in 2004, why should anyone after be treated differently - including a manager who’s achieved more in less time ⁉️

Totally concur and echo your point. The irony of your the repost is it's a member of the "True Faith" squad! Since the first two transfer windows post takeover, argubly every signing hasn't hit the ground from the off, but some fans are conveniently forgetting that at the moment.

Villa have been the better team, no debate...

But the refereeing performance is driving me barmy 😠 how many times have they got away with persistent pushing, shirt pulling, and ticky-tacky fouling without a booking!

A marked improvement is needed, with quicker interchanges and movement

#NUFC

The calm before the storm at SJP 🏟

A big night — and a big performance needed — against a familiar opponent 🇳🇱 from years gone by.

No time for divided opinion tonight, only full support for Eddie and the boys 🙌🏻

#NUFC #UCL #NEWPSV

While today’s result and performance were poor, a bit of perspective is needed before calling futures into question 📢 #NUFC

Results this weekend — and all season — show how unpredictable this league is 🎰

This season may be comparably disappointing, but patience and a deep breath are still needed.

My biggest disappointment with today’s showing was the lack of creativity in tight spaces. #NUFC

It felt like chances only came from wide areas and crosses — with little technical manipulation of defenders to create shooting opportunities.

This is where a number 🔟 would’ve come in handy 🤔

#WOLNEW

Big opportunity to regain our spot among the top 5️⃣ with three points in the Black Country today. #NUFC

Predicted starting XI:
▪️ Trippier returns at RB
▫️ Questioned❓️ whether Bruno 🇧🇷 should be rested — unlikely
▪️ Miley ⭐️ moved to a more familiar CM role
▫️ Barnes 🏴 starts in place of Murphy 🔄

#WOLNEW

Wolves 🐺 may be bottom and our form improving, but I still feel a level of anxiety 😬 about tomorrow.

Their league position doesn't reflect recent form, and a fearless, free-playing opponent is always dangerous ⚠️

2️⃣ draws from our last 3️⃣ at Molineux — I may be content with another by full time #NUFC

▪️The tie isn’t officially over, however achieving a semi-final berth still deserves applause.

▫️Last night’s performance was good — more clinical and on another day, a different outcome.

▪️I still believe Big Nick & Wissa will come good, but top form will likely come next season.

#NUFC #CarabaoCup

FT: #NUFC 0-2 #MCFC

▪️Valiant effort by a squad looking increasingly fatigued 😪
▫️Missed chances 🚫 punished in the end
▪️Opponents experienced at sucking the life out of contests❕️
▫️Barnes can't allow Doku down the line for the opening goal 🥅
▪️Hall was the star performer, again ⭐️

#CarabaoCup

What's new!

HT: #NEW 0–0 #MCFC

▪️ No thunderous start, both teams in a chess match ♟️
▫️ Wissa should’ve tested the keeper 🧤, but his pace in behind troubles City’s defence 💭
▪️ Hall is an absolute baller — showing poise and composure
▫️ Attacking downhill second half… who breaks first❓️

#CarabaoCup

Another Carabao Cup 🏆 encounter, and another stop at The Dolphin 🐬 — hopefully it brings the same luck tonight as the last time 🙏🏻 #NUFC #CarabaoCup

Great news to see Sven Botman commit his future yesterday ✍️🏻

Had he continued his 22/23 form without the recurring injuries 🩼, he’d have had Europe’s 🌍 top clubs knocking on his door 🚪

Here’s wishing him the very best of luck — and good health — in the coming years in black and white ⚫️⚪️ #NUFC

A tough hand dealt in last night’s 4th Round draw.

Depending on form 📈 and fitness 🩺, there’s no reason we can’t do to them what they just did at White Hart Lane.

Our form and success in cup football 🏆 over the last few seasons should inspire belief — not leave us overawed.

#NUFC #FACup

▪️Is it a certainty AG10⚡️is our only attacker in the England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 WC squad ⁉️

Barnes' recent form warrants consideration as an attacking option.

▫️BDB, Schär, & Tino injured, while Lascelles could move —Surely it's crackers not to dip into the market 🛒

Right-side of defence has to be a focus 🤔

#NUFC

If this past week is what we’ve got to look forward to for the rest of the season, I might be bringing my summer plans forward 😓 #NUFC

That roar is something else!!

It’s been all the rage this week: Who plays on the left❓️

When the decision had to be made, Eddie stuck with Barnes ahead of Gordon — and it paid off 🎰

He may not get the attention or stats others obsess over 🧮, but he does what he does best…

Create, assist, and score — again and again 🏹🏹

#NUFC

FT: #NUFC 4–3 #LUFC

▪️ Incredible finish 🤯
▫️ Awful performance for the most part
▪️ Lacked quality
▫️ Couldn’t cope with Leeds’ intensity
▪️ Salisbury should head down the Jobcentre❗️
▫️ Sheer force of will got us through
▪️ Barnes — forget stats, he just scores 🥅
▫️ Fitting tribute to KK 🤴🏼

#NEWLEE

HT: #NUFC 1–2 #LUFC

▪️ Dire effort for the opening half hour
▫️ Lacked sharpness, movement, and intensity
▪️ Aaronson is a problem ⚠️ finding pockets of space between the lines
▫️ Improved after falling behind
▪️ Neither incident was a penalty❗️
▫️ Far more needed to turn it around going uphill 🏔

#NEWLEE

What sad news — a real gut punch.

I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say, “Best of luck, Kevin — we’re all right behind you.”
