Thats a foul all day long, but we are Newcastle and we cant rely on the ref. Dubravka need to start use his elbows and knees more when he catches the ball. I bet players will try to bully him whenever they can.

Was he drunk yesterday? no control, kept falling..

Just 3,5 years left of his contract. I guess he will see it out

have anyone noticed that manquillo has a free role offensively on corners against us ?

Would have loved seeing longstaff, shelvey and muto, but instead we will probably get perez, joselu and clark :/

300M asking price + loan 127M + he wants to keep his advertisments rights. "sure" he wants to sell...

Maybe he can focus on football and not going out partying with his mum and aunt..

he was playing like he did when he was injured. Hope he will be back to his best soon.

this is going to be a long season :/

we're the only club apart from the club he started his career at who have signed him Signed on loan ;-) he he

Are our young players that bad that we have to field Manquillo?! Its shocking that him and Joselu gets any gametime. Manquillo's agent must be a fucking genious to have managed to get so many top clubs to sign him.

why why? Kennedy shouldn't be taking that. Benitez got it all wrong today imo. Wrong lineup, bad substitutes.

Think our scouts are going: FACK! We got the wrong brother

He wanted the transfer and said his family couldn’t settle in the North or some shit and then went to Liverpool and won a bunch of trophies. Bastard. I also remember Inhoped he would break his leg and he was actually injured at the start of his career there IIRC Thought it was because the players gave him Mein Kampf as a xmas gift.

Tbh I dont think Ashley like Pardew particullary. I'm more afraid of him putting Kinnear in charge again..

Defensivley he was good. Passing was a bit shit though. Just an off night like all of them (apart from Diame, Kenedy and maybe PD) Even though im not a big fan of Gayle the premiership player, I think he was good when he came on.

29 appearances: 6 goals and 3 assists. I do want a Norwegian player in our team, but I dont think King would be an upgrade to what we already have.

Alan Pardew to Arsenal

Why oh why.. whenever we start to put all our players in our own half we start to concede goals. Dont like the negative subs, we where controlling this..

I get that core strength isn’t being massive that’s a fair point, but how can you tell that our players are weak? All those players you mentioned played in a much less physically demanding league, and it might just be that players in general are much fitter? I agree with greydos, our players to often get bullied. But im not sure if its strengt of the players or if its mental. I think the timing of greydos post was a litle bit off, because our players wasnt getting "eased" off the ball against Man Utd, but if you look at many of the other games this has happened to often. If you look at the Lukaku situation: I dont think it was Lejeune was the foul the ref spotted, I think it was the challenge before that. Lejuene looked like he was falling very easy, if he was pushed hard he needs to make the ref see it and make himself heard.. We had a simular goal against us earlier in the season when Mbemba was pushed over, and he didnt make any noise about it.. I also would like to see Lascelles and Lejeune bulling strikers more, they need to be smart and stretch the laws of the game as much as they can, but I feel they are just too nice lads sometimes.

I'll settle for that too as long as we don't play it on Sunday mate With todays squad against man utd all out attack we would look like we did under Charlie Mitten when we got relegated scoring 86 goals but conceding 109.

No because he hasn't got us relegated before. That's on Mike Ashley and Steve McClaren. If he had gotten us the points we needed, he would have saved us. He didnt so we got relegated... Tomato-Tomato There's a distinct difference between being unable to save something that was already damaged and being responsible for said damage as well you know. Rafa was not responsible for the last relegation potato-potato. He was the manager, he had a hopless job to save us but he was our manager and was here when we got relegated. Dont care about the responsibility, and im not having a dig at Rafa, im curious if he will be the first to have been our manager in to relegations. Tought we all ready new that Ashley is responsible for the relegation..

If we get relegated, will Rafa be the first manager to get us relegated twice?

Fuck hate this. Every time we take the lead we are going all out defence and inviting the opposite team in to the game. shite tactics in my opinion..
