That's the only good news today.

Is Parker our captain? He is the first one who give up the match. I cannot tolerate such a captain, sorry.

Not surprising. That's Roeder, Luque's nemesis. What can you expect?

He is clearly unfit, no one can deny that. Still he scored the goal and keep the goal in poccession quite well. This guy has really good positioning and finishing, he just lack of fitness and support. Luque has scored 1 goal by taking the only chance in last game, while Martins, Duff, etc fucked all chances in about 3-4 games. Fact.

The end of Harper.

I love this thread

He is just another Emre. No thx.

Such player management skills is really comparable with Souness. Roeder, congratulation, you have become Souness the 2nd.

didn't make much difference, really.

Chance for Finnigan having a senior debut.

I wanna cry after watching that video.

Look back to the summer transfer......this 15m is completely wasted, the precious 15m that our club probably won't be able to spend anymore within 2 years. I really, really think the 15m is wasted. Instead of some decent defenders or a Shearer type striker, we spend on a left winger and a pacey-but-stupid forward. The Duff's transfer is quite critical actually. When he plays at left wing, N'Zog is waming the bench, completely waste of resources. And now he even have to play left back, forward, etc. Is he really needed at Newcastle? Even his performance in left wing sucks, really sucks. He ran a lot, but he never able to beat a defender one by one, and his crossing is even worse than N'Zog. His end product is terrible, and that's why Chelsea keep SWP instead of Duff. He does not worth 5m, while this amount of money should be able to buy a good side back. Martins, ok, shit, a forward type Bramble. In theory, he is even faster than Bellamy, or may be the fastest on the soccerpitch. But how many runs did he has per match? What I can recall isn't Martins run to openspaces, but Martins trying to set up Ameobi by HEADING. Fucking hell. His finishing may improve once he settled, but heis clearly not a player that 100% make use of their talents, like Bramble. Again and again, he doesn't worth 10m. From what I see, what we really need is a striker, a player that can convert Milner's or Emre's corssing into goals. We create plenty of chances, but we are unable to make a good attempt out of them. We don't need pacy forward, at least, the priority is not the top. Oh yea, and our 10m forward is injury prone, joining Owen on the sidelines. Terrible transfer decision leads to terrible outcomes, end of.

The question is can we afford to sack Roeder? Just like at that time we didn't want to pay compensation to Souness until the last moment.

I don't think Roeder will play him against Palermo. Ameobi as lone striker again.

Luque.

welcome to rape Newcastle. You better score something like 6-0 or 7-0, so that Roeder can resign immediately.

On the other hand I think Roeder simply afraid of dropping Duff. He's been playing left back, left wing and even striker. Well, we got one 5m utility player, hurray. Everything is going wrong.

the reason why Duff is given up by Chelsea is because he is not up to standards. he runs a lot with no end product, even worse than Dyer. 5m spoiled again.

I can see us beaten 2-0.

A legend that past his best doesn't needed by Newcastle.

Hey, so this time Dyer last for 30 mins. What's next? 10 mins and retire?

Ignore the Luque problem, there's never an answer for that, coz Roeder simply won't play him anymore. Am I the only one who think the 10m spend on Martins is a waste of money? It's the same as Luque's, just one have more chance to play, one have none.

I admit I didn't think he can be sooooo bad..... I know he won't be top class performer but mid table is not a problem.....and now, relegation zone, fucking hell.

I don't mind if he resign, I just wanna know who will take the job.

Is it really possible? We played like donating 3 points to the league leaders, we play some pocession football with no end product with mid table teams, and that means, if we are unable to get 3 points from relegation battlers e.g Shef Utd, we will be one of them. The truth is that, the situation is even worse than under Souness.
