The Liverfool game showed the good, bad, and ugly of Eddie Howe. Good? Stunned everyone including Liverpool, and appeared to be putting them to the sword. Scored near halftime and it was great. The bad? Watch anytime Newcastle take the lead. They don't try to go finish the other team. It's almost like everyone from Howe down scream "Oh gods, don't hurt us, don't hurt us!" in fear of retribution. Well, guess what. Liverfool hurt them. Howe and Newcastle took their foot off the gas, and got what they deserved. As for the ugly, with his team sucking like crazy and without a single shot on target to that time, Howe stuck with his team and didn't make a sub until after the 70th minute. 'Cause yeah, Eddie, it was totally working smh

If Newcastle didn't play hard ball with Isak, they'd likely have Ekitike at this point...ooooooooof.

Boy, Eddie Howe sure set out to get his team's ass kicked today, and by gum, his plan is working like gangbusters.

Seriously. Down 2-0 aggregate and you come out in a back five and afraid of even stepping near an opposing player. You deserve a proper hiding, and Eddie Howe has made sure his team is getting one.

Yeah, Howe out. The rot has set in. You can quote all the excuses in the world, but there is zero excuse for collapsing like a paper chili pot the moment you take the lead. It is endemic and no amount of injuries or tired legs can excuse it. And if you want to say the players don't have the confidence, then it's even worse for Howe because it is his job to make sure they do have it.

Howe out.
