I put in Ramsay and Wood like. Annoying. Still got about 8 players playing this weekend so far though. Going to be irritating having to plan around potential double gameweeks. Wasn't a fan of that last season. Already used Free Hit and Wildcard as well.
-
It's laughable how any criticism of the board is jumped on as ridiculous. I'm hesitant to criticise at the moment. I understand that they want to do things properly and appoint the right people in the right places. Its a bit of a worry that no senior figured have been appointed though, except for a manager which was done very poorly. It's all about January for me. They knew from day one that January is the be and end all for this season. October is more than enough time to get things in order to be able to bring in significant reinforcements. As long as we're able to give ourselves a fighting chance, thats good enough for me.

At the very least he needs taken out of the firing line. Regardless of ability, he looks shot at the moment. I don't think he's ever been this bad but his confidence has gone like. Ridiculous if he keeps starting. Even if Howe rates him, he needs some time away from the first 11.

Leicester City 4 - 0 Newcastle United (12/12/2021)

Tinpot cunts Leicester like. Say what you want about the big six but it's a travesty that those happy clapping fucks won the league -
He's not coked off his head. He's far, far too square for that like.
-
What's your point? Do you think this side that has sat back and tried to hit other teams on the break for years now is suddenly going to transform into a possession based team that dominates to opposition? They're nowhere near good enough for that and if that's the way Howe wants to play, it'll be gradual. Shteve was shite but Rafa couldn't get a tune out of him either. In fact he was probably worse under Benitez. If you're looking at players to keep us in this division, Gini ain't it. As we've seen before.

Absolutely do not want Wijnaldum back here like. He's a good player but he was utterly anonymous for most of that season when we went down. Particularly away from home. I don't think he's suited to playing in a side that forfeits control of the game. He'd played for Ajax and PSV before us, two teams that dominate possession. It's no suprise that he did well at Liverpool too. Us though, wanting to hit other teams on the break? No.

Loic Remy was pretty decent.
-
Depends on January. Without significant reinforcements we're 9.5 imo. Should be buy and buy well, we could get out of trouble. The manager debacle and then the lack of any sort of structural appointments so far doesn't fill me with confidence. I really hope we're not relying on Amanda Staveley and Jamie Reuben, who have 0 experience of running a football clubs, to conduct business in the most important window I can remember.

Had no idea he was from Seaton Delaval. Parkinson's is an awful disease. RIP
-
I didn't think it was that much of an error tbh. Possibly could have done better but be was stretching and it was wet. Stood up well for that one on one at the end. Norwich should have absolutely put it to bed there.
-
Needs to be starting. Looked so much assured with him at the back. He's not prime Maldini like by no means, but he's our best centre half by way of him being vaguely competent.
-
Thought we played well all considering the madness of Clark like. Worked hard and defended well for the most part. Schar almost fucked it at the end. Great save by Dubs but they should have finished us off.
-
Put a hell of a shift in. Good at working back, held the ball up well, link up play was decent. Still falls apart any time he's near the opposition goal like.
-
These lot are utter shit by the way.
-
The fact that we can't even get a DOF in place, doesn't bode well for getting the players we need for January like. You can be thorough as you like, but the chances are it'll be the same candidates after January as it is now. Football moves quick. Howe and Nickson planning the most important January window surely isn't what anyone had in mind?
-
Nufc Twitter is tragic. Then again I feel like any clubs Twitter with a sizeable fanbase is a the same. In general it's actually hard to curate your feed so that it isn't a cesspit like. Not a fan of seeing shit people I follow have liked or commented on.

Think Werner will be off at the end of the season if not Jan. Absolute plop.

Eddie Howe - Nominated for Manager of the Season
Doctor Zaius replied to InspectorCoarse's topic in Football
The Soccer Saturday mob aren't the brightest; with their tired clichés, lack of understanding of the modern game and the refusal to do any sort of research outside the basics but fuck me, they look like the most learned of scholars up against Agbonlahor and O'Hara. Painfully fickk -
Doesn't take much but he's easily our best centre half like. Get him back in.
-
Need a win desperately. Ditch the back five like. Centre backs are shit, no point in having three of the cunts and our 'wing backs' are absolutely useless. Why persist with this if it highlights our weakest areas. Go 433/451. Flat back four, Hayden sitting with Almiron and Shelvey in there too, Almiron and Hayden are mobile and combative enough to make up for Shelveys inability to get around. Would get Lewis involved because Ritchie is gash but theres no chance of that tbh. Fuck Fraser off, bring Fernandez (our best CB) back in and please, please have Krafth absolutely nowhere near this side. Dubravka Lewis Schar Fernandez Manquillo Shelvey Hayden Almiron ASM Joeliton Wilson If we persist with this crappy wingback system we'll get done. Howe needs to show some bollocks and mix it up.

Might be of use to us next season down there

Stop playing this cunt for fucks sake. That three managers in a row that's bothered with him. Beyond useless. One of the worst I've ever seen in a black and white shirt. So off the pace, in every game he's played. It's embarrassing. Manquillo, Murphy, whoever. Just not this fuck.
