Menace

That's what makes it even more frustrating. The gap was there to be closed, Isak leaving and the recruitment has really set us back. Incredible what a few weeks can do really.

His family are all Geordies aren't they? I doubt it'll be that easy

I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run at left wing because I've still yet to see what he does that other midfielders we have don't.

There's more to it than just "he doesn't fit the system" I honestly don't know what he does well in the last 2 months. Looks like a complete passenger. Hopefully just fatigue because for me it's worrying.

Tough fixtures coming up, our players dropping like flies also. Call me cynical but somehow I don't think we'll make Europe this season.

He was no worse than Gordon but the bar isn't exactly sky high

Pretty typical Newcastle performance to be honest. Sloppy and toothless up front.

It's boring now. Moans about PSR, still spends £100M+ on 2 EPL players who have not improved us.

Completely escaped me Douglas Luiz went to Forest

He absolutely loves the club like

Just saw the extended highlights - we looked good. Completely different team when facing opposition that doesn't have 8 players behind the ball.

A lot of these City players are overhyped - people wanted McAtee here and he's done nothing at Forest

This is where I'm at. To add the loss to Sunderland where we looked so dejected and toothless it was borderline embarrassing.

He's the Ashley era summed up in one - detestable.

368 days since his last open play goal in the EPL Needs moving on in the summer.

Bar Ekitike the players that ditched us aren't exactly setting the world alight like

We wouldn't have scored even if there was another 90 minutes to play. Woltemade looks miles off it, is it fatigue? Confidence? No idea. Gordon is basically a guaranteed starter no matter how he plays Our best inform winger is being played out of position Tonali has been running on empty for a period We still have Trippier starting games for us in 2026 This doesn't make me or anyone here a bedwetter - these are honest points of concerns

Is this a joke?

I'd assess at the end of the season if no upturn which imo doesn't look likely. This is absolutely shocking stuff week on week away from home and it's been happening a while now

"Plenty of positives, we can do better and will do better" Yawn

This isn't a team that's making Europe this season. Dross performance after dross performance. It's boring watching us play and he still hasn't figured out how to combat low block or to get us to perform away from home.

Trippier in 2026 is something

Woltemade a good 5 feet away from the action once again
