Kasper

Because he's shit? And made yet another fucking rediculous challenge? How is that a ridiculous challenge? He stopped a counter attack long way from our goal

Probably because it was a good foul?

What the hell are you moaning about Colback for? It was a foul he had to make and miles from goal. Lascelles was the one no where near where he should have been.

WTF LASCELLES!?!

God we've missed Mitrovic.

We haven't. He's had a very solid match today, tbf. Yet, still never in the position where you want a striker to be in when ritchie put in the perfect ball in. Yes he may be winning headers etc, but he's never there to finish chances off. It's the weird system we play. He's always stupidly deep. Gayle is too but he's got the pace to do it. Got to then question where is Perez in all of this ..

We haven't. We have.

God we've missed Mitrovic

About time it landed somewhere. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/08/22/article-1305180-0AE1484F000005DC-966_468x286.jpg

Did you just decide one day to dedicate your life to being the biggest mong on here? ? They just clarified it on the radio. Eighty something rule changes this season, one was just this. I didnt say he did pull him, I have no idea. But if he did, the ref has every right to disallow it he didnt fucking pull him- theres footage of it on here. ..and I hadnt seen it at that point Chill out And even if he had it would be a retake. Not what they said on BBC Radio Newcastle. They looked at the new 80whatever rules and it was in it. I was just relaying what they said on here ffs. I trust they know what they're looking at and found the rule tbf They don't know. I just posted the link for you earlier about the updated rules.

Please point me towards that in the new rules: http://www.theifab.com/laws/the-penalty-kick/chapters/penalty-kick-infringements-and-sanctions

Not that it matters and not a great angle.

The only possibility yeah.

We don't at the best of times, with that line up it's hard to see past keeping it tight and hoofing it long. WTF, people just posting absolute tripe about us now like. We've passed it fine nearly all season. Haven't for several games now.

If you have a shit midfield you have to be more direct. If you play more direct you dont use a midget as your only striker.

Dont think so.

Not surprised. We've got points in our previous games but the football we've played has been way too passive.

Suarez's face falling

Would be a shame to somewhat throw away what last week got us with 4 or 5 points wasted this week. So please win

Is Yedlin injured?

That was my point - Rafa doesn't tolerate players not doing exactly what he wants them to do. There's no wiggle room with regards to "he thought the short pass was a good option there". And the fact is that Rafa blames Mbemba for the midfield giving the ball away in that game, because even though his passes went to feet, they went to players who then turned it over and, in Rafa's plan, they should never have had it in the first place. This was reported a few weeks ago, pretty sure in The Chronicle. It fits with what we know about Rafa, it fits with what we saw in that game. Rafa had a plan, Mbemba didn't follow it, we lost, Mbemba doesn't play again. There's just no way in hell a manager that successful sees the game like that. It's a game of decisions based on the model you've been taught. Based being the key word. Fair enough if you ignore the plan for large periods of the game and don't make the pass when its there but to say there's no wiggle room is crazy.

Don't really understand the hatred here. I've got a lot of admiration for clubs that find upcoming managers with different ideas. What Wagner has done at Huddersfield is very impressive. From what I've read he has changed the whole culture at the club and on the pitch they have a clear idea on how to play the game their way. An identity. Something we've only recently discovered but have lacked for years. I hope they get promoted. Clubs like this should be rewarded for their bravery to do something else than hire one of the typical safe options. Maybe that would slowly spell the end for our pardews and allardyces as more and more clubs would take notice. And for all the reasons listed above I don't see this being now or never for them. When you have a good manager and a system you don't fall apart when you lose few players. And it's easier for new players to come into the side that has that structure. I think their biggest fear is someone stealing Wagner.

We were already poor 1st half. Two pretty lucky goals but terrible football. If you dont even try to keep the ball for 90mins you'll eventually get tired and make mistakes.
