NUFC vs Bournemouth

[toptoon]

Yep, fine margins is the key. Just takes things to shift a little either way for us to have had a great or a terrible result.

Yesterday was really the first poor performance in a long line of decent and very good ones.

I take your point about the money spent, Kal but what I would say is that it would be more relevant to my thinking if we hadn't been deprived of points by incompetent (and I'm being kind, there) officials. Yes, I know that can happen in any game, but the shocking decisions and non-decisions that have afflicted us this season have had a massive bearing on where we are. When you factor that into the equation along with the fine margins then I don't think we can judge where we are accurately. And certainly not enough for some of our fans on social media to be having a pop at Howe and the owners, ffs.

I don’t read much social media but it’s ok for fans to criticize Howe and the players after a sub standard performance so long as they’re not suggesting stupidity like replacing Howe.

Howe is an amazing coach.That said,I cant get my head around the fact that we were constantly fizzing in crosses when clearly that is not what Isak is all about.Howe admitted that we consistently failed to play to his strengths.Granted we missed Maxi in that respect but surely in training they would figure out how to MAXImise Isak's strengths.
