Eddie Howe has gone from being a manager who makes neat attacking football and cannot organise a defence to save his life a la Roberto Martinez to shithouse attritious football that barely concede a la Diego Simeone.

Aubameyang single-handedly keeping my bet alive.
Lewis Hall is looking really good. Just turned 18 & looks an upgrade from Cucurella.
Newcastle win inevitable now
Quite funny really, he fecked up bad.
Yep, you see it more and more these days that players are messing up the pitch around the penalty spot. Should be a yellow immediately.
Their "luck" comes from non-stop cheating.
It's the same as dribbling the ball forward before striking it. You can't touch it twice.
Do any of you actually ever watch football? He touched the ball twice in a row from a restart. You are not allowed to do that. There is nothing wrong with the rules in this case.
Mitrovic to score the winner now that he is angry?
Dexta Daps plays for Fulham?
Played decent so far in fairness.

They are worse than jammy, they are full on scummy. Dark arts, time wasting, hardly any offensive players on the field. I wonder how much good will being a new team at the top will buy them. They are horrible to watch.
Feck me. Could the keeper be any slower there?
So John Terry should have been allowed to retake that pen in the CL final shootout with us then? cmon
By letter of law you’re probably right
English referees need to apply the law of common sense a bit more though. Obviously wasn’t intentional
Andreas off. Let's go speedy
But the result is a deflected shot which would make it that much harder for keepers to save. As soon as he hit it, you knew something was wrong
Nah, the rule is perfectly fine. There are too many grey areas in football. It is much better to have a either 'wrong-or-right' rule.
Imagine if you start allowing second touches. You would end up with all kinds of nonsense with players trying to take advantage of it.
I think he doesn't even realizes that he has pressure. He was just jogging at its surprised to not win the ball.
Not looking forward to our visit there...
By that logic, our goal yesterday should have been disallowed. We want consistency and that was the right decision
he didn't kick the ball twice. he simply slipped. and missed. totally differentSo John Terry should have been allowed to retake that pen in the CL final shootout with us then? cmon
I think Jay Leno could have got to that ball faster than old Bernd did.
blatant fecking dive by Wilson
Wilson is a massive diver.
They both kicked the ball and took the pen. I've never heard of a rule in any sport that allows you to re-do something if you slip.
I wonder where they've got it from? Howe's Bournmouth wasn't like this, and wasn't Bruce the manager of Newcastle before Howe? You'd think Mourinho was in charge of these
That should be a yellow for Wilson and VAR should be able to award it.
Diving, cheating, time wasting scum bags Newcastle.
when did Newcastle score last?
Trippier diving now too. Team full of vermin.
Hardly any offensive players? Are you serious?
Refs a proper homer
Last weekend, 2-1 defeat to Sheffield
Newcastle clearly watch a lot of Atletico matches during training
it's not the slip that's being penalised. it's kicking the ball twice
Didn’t even look like mitrovic slipped there, looked like he just misplaced his standing foot and kicked the ball off it
How the feck can you double touch a penalty at this level? The only circumstance I can give benefit of the doubt is if it’s wet as feck and a monsoon is happening.
Palace are nose diving fast.
Send someone off ffs
