Man United above us now. Cunts

Needs to be good performances now too. A 1-0 or 2-1 win won't please many if we're shite again.

I think the writing is on the wall now for Howe, and it sickens me to say that. The team doesn't look coached properly at all. Our set pieces are terrible, we don't seem to know how to move forward with any decent attacking threat which is evident by the lack of goals scored, plus players like Isak, Gordon and even Bruno just look totally off it. The only good performances I've seen this season are probably Spurs (H) and Forest (A), I know we beat Arsenal but it was more them being completely shite rather than us being good. Zero shots against a side in the bottom three is probably one of the worst stats I can think of for us in recent years so it certainly seems like the problems are only getting worse. I genuinely don't know how Howe turns all this around. The warning signs were there last season and we put it down to injuries but this season we've had most of our players available and its been so bad. It pains me to say this because I genuinely like Howe and I'm desperate for him to be successful but knowing football you can spot the signs of a manager who has taken a team as far as he can and it certainly has the feel of that with Howe right now.

Didn't even have one off target either according to BBC Sport.

A win would have papered over the cracks because that was poor yet again with the exception of one or two (Tonali). Zero shots against Palace is a joke.

Our set pieces are fucking shocking.

Its crazy to me that Isak has got injured from that fall. How brittle is he?

What the fuck is wrong with this lot today.

How shit has Gordon been lately? Bizarre really. If its the right side that's doing it then switch him back to the left.

Hopefully. I'm hungover from my staff do last night so I'm just being a miserable cunt.

Fully expecting another bad performance while they'll be massively up for it. 2-0 to them.

Hate this fixture. It's honestly hard to call this because as it's already been said it's hard to know what Newcastle will turn up. I reckon a draw here.

13 goals scored in 12 games is pretty awful like.

We'd have created much more in that first half if he was on. Its getting ridiculous now. Tonali was brilliant for Milan and helped them get to a CL semi-final the season before signing for us and he can't get into our team over fucking Longstaff? I'm sick of this notion that we only win with Longstaff in the team. If that's genuinely the case then Howe doesn't know how to get the best out of Tonali because they aren't even on the same universe for talent.

I'd honestly rather a throw-in on the half way line than a corner. Why are we like this?

Does Howe ever get asked about our corners from the journalists? They are absolute dogshit week in week out.

All I can say is get Burn, Lascelles and Botman back asap.

If Howe can't start both Gordon and Barnes then now is the time to rotate the two and start Barnes.

We've got one of the best young central midfield talents in Europe sitting on the bench playing a bit part role which isn't helping.

This is fucking wild. We're going to be nowhere near consistent enough for top 5 this year.

Why the fuck are we letting these just boss the game now? Its 2-0 with half an hour left, get one back and go for it ffs. Making a shite West Ham look like prime City here.

Fuck off with those shots now Schar ffs.

Dear me we are a shambles.

This is embarrassing like. 2-0 down at home to a bad side like this. Shocking.
