Newcastle Fan

Krafth on the right and Tino at LB.

Putting him against Salah was a crime by Howe.

He does so much good and so much bad over 90 minutes, needs to learn how to compose himself and pick the right option.

We looked like a Steve Bruce team tonight, the plan seemed to be sit back and hope something magically happen.

Videos of his own goal miss are circulating everywhere now.

As sad as i am that with travelling back i won't get to watch more games from SJP, i am relieved i won't have to watch him again, not replacing him has really hurt us this season and i really hope its the last season he starts this many games, if i was the owners i'd tell Ashworth to go and not comeback until we find a replacment.

Another poor showing from him today, he needs to starts stepping up or he'll find himself falling from the ranks.

He's fucking world class, much better than the names mentioned above and i love them, its not like he's playing in a midfield three with Pirlo and Seedorf at the moment.

He's terrible at CB and all over the place when it comes to where to position himself.

How the fuck did Chris Wood turn him like he's Messi.

Around the same time last year i sat on the same seat i sat in today and watched him miss chance after chance for us against Leeds for it to end 0-0, today he shows up and plays like fucking Pele just because he's wearing a different shirt. he can fuck off like

Him and Isak were our best two today.

Every game he does it and never learns.

He deserves to see out the season and start next season, however a loss to Sunderland will make a lot of people turn on him, he is doing more wrong than right at the moment.

Is it fair to say most of the blame for not preparing the team well for this season falls on him?

Wish you didn't share that picture, like i've said previously in this thread not replacing him with someone better has costed us big time this season.

He really needs to cut the diving thing and just try and stay on his feet and make something happen.

I don't think he's prepared us well for this season, i understand buliding and having a long-term plan but needed to focus on a huge season in front of him first.

Another shit performance, lots of people said not getting a proper player in his position will cost us this season and it did, don't know how Ashworth and co Didn't see this coming

How the fuck was the decision to keep him as an option made?

What the fuck is wrong with him lately.

They seem reluctant to put him on for too long, he didn't have much to do when he did but its good to see him back on the pitch.

Great return for the big man tonight!

I noticed today his running off the ball isn't very intelligent, either when pressing or when we have the ball, once he fixes that aspect he'll be even more of a threat to other teams.

Wasn't happy with him on Wednsday but thought today he was incredible, there was a tribute to him in the stands and he did not put a foot wrong in the game, won everything in the air.
