Pards says from London.

We need someone that can and actually will successfully shoot from outside of the box and create something from nothing, whether that is a midfielder or striker I don't care. Sick of the years that have rolled by seeing other teams score stupid goals that win games out of nothing, a lot of the time against us. We have a clear inability or maybe willingness to do that. Maybe its just the way we are set up to play trying to either pass it into the box or cross it from the right wing but when was the last time someone scored a cracker from nowhere for us? Our attacking play feels all too over-thought and unnatural. That said we are staring to come forward much better as an attacking unit. I feel like we are essentially starting to look like we did towards the end of Hughtons reign with Barton there, very Right side heavy and reliant with our attack. And no Tiote doesn't count.

Twitter bollocks rumours or something credible? 2 + 2 Would be nice though.

Urgh.. Disappointing, think he will do well there.

Is he injury prone?

Erm we've lost one of the last 3 and 2 of 5. We didn't lose today I'm obviously aware of that, but he said the excuses are made when we lose lose each game. We're not losing each game or anywhere near Erm we have 7 points out of 11 games To be fair, it wasn't worded great. To rephrase in bullet form. - I think we are making progress - even though it's annoying when he repeatedly says that when we lose. - continued performance improvement or not if we don't start picking up 3 points more regularly there will come a time that he will need to go. - personally I'm not happy with 7 points from 11. Pretty sure no one is. I have been heartened by performance improvement. - the damage done by previous regimes is deep and a new guy wont change that any quicker unless he has the charisma and motivational skills of a keegan to boost the club, players and city... don't see that person around or interested especially with what we would look for.

Teams making progress as he annoyingly repeatedly tells us when we lose each game. There does have to be a point where good performance or not he has to go if the points don't start coming and continue coming.

Hmm what's the point in having it. Surely we can apply for an emergency loan now. Madness.

At the end of the day I know which team I would rather be and which set of players I would rather have.

Aye. Even so few players gave up imo. Used up our clinical finishing last week unfortunately. Should have been out of sight before the penalty and had chances to bring it level after. The attacking gamble could have gone one way or another..unfortunately it meant conceding the 3rd. I don't mind that though as we went for it. Doing that earlier might have been even more of a gamble given the scum coming out on a high. Colo needs replacing lascalles simply isn't ready. LB and CB is really important for us in January.

Feel for the majority of you stuck at home. If there is one bonus about being abroad I will get less of this rubbed in my face again. Maybe why I am less bothered by a result dictated by bad officiating. Second goal was annoying, 3rd was always a risk as we were going for it. Best derby performance we have given in 6 imo. Still far from good enough, had to make that pressure count, we didn't and the scum were again gifted a lead and unfair advantage imo. Next game can't come soon enough.. hearing more 'it's another step forward performance wise' from schtevie however accurate won't go down well today.

That never happens.. oh yeah right. Last week.

Unfortunately par the course when we gamble for the equalizer.

Fucking shit show. So embarrassing. Could be Man city again if we don't pull our shit together.

Epitomizes the passion of the fans and what the fans want to see in players. Looked a but sluggish at times bit is a beast. Very excited by him we actually have attacking threat with him, Perez, wijnaldum and sissoko.

Aye. Really shocked he didn't get on today. The upside is he is getting time to settle. Downside is he might lose more confidence and get worse.

Absolutely waste of skin. He literally plays in our back four when teams attack instead of coming out to stop them advancing. Literally screaming at the tv with every norwich attack. He leaves so much space. Not to say he doesn't do a few positive passes per game but his limitations so far surpass his positive contributions it's beyond infuriating he continues to start.

To be fair they didn't want Dick to leave. Could be in real trouble here.

Klopp surely. Carlo...hmmm not that convinced. Will do more for them than Rodgers for sure.

Moyes, Rodgers, Mclaren.. is there much difference?

TCD said they looked decent though. Your opinion is invalid. People watching the game through hate filled glasses tbh. Wouldn't say they were amazing today but looked more dangerous than any side we have put out in the last 5 years. Puncheon, Zaha, sakho and bolasie were causing lots of problems with alot of decent crosses. They switched off at the end though and it cost them. Central mid is bang average as is their defence..but organized enough at the moment and enough pace and creativity out wide an upfront to cover lots of the usual Pardew negatives...for now at least .

Palace have worked hard and looked decent. City have had a lot of pressure though and maybe deserve the win. Man city had a stonewall penalty waived away.

We was robbed.

keep calm... and Colback on... http://www.themag.co.uk/assets/jack-colback-halt-newcastle-united-nufc-650x400.jpg He got this if we need another LB.

If he was only half as consistent on the pitch as he is off it running down our club and angling for move. Pretty short of patience for what you would probably call a luxury player that doesn't seem to fit properly anywhere in our team. Yet to show any reason for buyers to believe the brief glimpses of potential will grow into anything. Add me on to the skeptical list.
