Human?

Agree with a fair bit of what TCD says there but I also do not underestimate the role Pardew played in dampening expectations throughout the club or the fanbase as to what we could achieve on the pitch at any given time. He's a cowardly manager and behaved accordingly, it just so happened that him being a coward fit into the clubs policy of being cheap.

THANK GOD WERE NOT IN EUROPE

Welcome uncle Kloppo.,.

 

One of my only 3 ever human crushes, after Megan and the Russian sweetheart, Yulia. Jurgen, you're next ,but at least looks like I'm getting you.

Клопп является новый тренер Ливерпуля #лфс #йнвка

The only thing more cringeworthy will be when they start calling him "Jurgen" 100% of the time. Because it's the Liverpool family of incest and all.

Klopp is the same as Mourinho in a sense that his methods only work for so long, he'll be great for 2-3 seasons but after that it will go downhill.

You're just saying this because Dortmund had a shocking season last year, right? He won the Bundesliga in 2012, in his fourth year as manager, and went to the CL final in his fifth year there.

He would be an absolutely amazing appointment for them, it'll be very hard to hate Liverpool with him in charge.

 

No it won't. Have you seen their fans? They'd just ruin Klopp rather than the other way around.

This. Don't really want to hate Klopp by association, but it is what it is.

Klopp will bomb at Liverpool,

 

 

Why?

 

Think he'd do well myself

Klopp is an excellent manager, but he's nowhere near Ancelotti. He can't be talked about in terms of bringing an almost certain level of success in the same way Carlo can imo. By no means a guarantee that he'll do well.

Can't stand Rodgers tbh. Comes across as extremely bland and uninspiring. Even more than McClaren, if that's possible. Would be a much of a muchness. No thanks.

When the ball was played to Jaanmat the only player in an offside position was Perez in the middle.  Not interfering with play but when the ball was crossed Perez flicked it on to Mitro and he made himself active hence the offside decision to disallow the goal.

Eh? How is that even part of the rules? Perez was nowhere near Janmaat when the ball was played. He was in no way interfering with play, so the new rule shouldn't apply in this case.

Janmaat was a yard on side but aye, that's the only thing I can think of. He was clearly ahead of both Perez and Mitrovic when he played the ball across.

 

It's a f***ing appalling decision. Not excusing the second half capitulation by any means, but ffs. A deserved 2-0 and it's a different game.

This! Had this argument with many braindead idiots. Not saying we would have gone on to win ffs, but to deny that it would have been a different game had we gone in ahead by 2 goals at HT is just stupid. It wasn't even a borderline decision, or a dubious sending off. It was a clear goal. A well worked move and a finish at the end of it. Boils my piss tbh.

That's comfortably the worst offside call I've ever seen like.

 

I don't even understand how it could have been called offside. 

 

The sort of decision that comes across as completely bent.  Would never have occurred the other way around.

It very clearly is a bent decision like. There is literally no other conceivable reason it was chalked off. Not even incompetence on a grand scale. But we're little old newcastle, so naturally no one questions it or gives a shit.

52 with Barkley ©, Bellerin, Taylor and Ayew to play. How the fuck did I switch from Aguero to Barkley last minute? 

Dunno if thats Richard Keys station but he is after him

It was him aye. Absolute vile thundercunt. Compared it to Costa's shenanigans with Koscielny Keys is a braindead fucktard. Wanted Anita sent off as well for the foul on Zabaleta Hates us with a passion, as he seemed to take so much joy when uttering the word "thumped" at the final whistle round-up.

14 pts on the bench from Redmond, Bellerin and NTaylor 

Amazing

Have a feeling we'll batter them.

"The same desire to attack and defend " 

Tbf to the cunt, that in its essence is true. It's an overall desire to win the match, which you achieve by a commitment to attack and defend. As a team though. Singling out an individual is ridiculous and shows that he can't manage his team. His management style is what we're witnessing on the pitch with our team at the moment. Small 5 a side battles all over the pitch, waiting for that one magical breakthrough.

Worse thing about this current malaise is the Pardewites coming out the closet again, we never should have got rid, look at what he's doing at Palace, all you mongs forcing him out etc...

 

As much as I don't rate Schteve, he really needs to get a serious run on soon and Pardew to return to type so we can finally get that monkey off our back and put to bed this myth that Pardew is some kind of mastermind.

 

I don't see people advocating Pardew; I do see people saying Pardew, as a manager, not a man, might just have offered more. That's quite staggering but it may well be true.

No one is that stupid

Colback the second best player according to Paperback.

Sissoko-3

:lol: :lol: Oh my god.

 

Florian THAUVIN 4

 

Was content to jog around at times as the game passed him by

He ran his bollocks off the poor c***.

Nothing went past Colback though. He made 5 interceptions. Neglects to mention that it was probably 5 out of 50.

Has McClaren changed anything midplay yet? Seems totally void of changes.

 

As in substitutions? Tactical changes? Seems to change systems fairly quickly when needed. But very slow to make subs it seems.

Aarons was stripped and ready on the touchline for ages yesterday. Watford made a change and the ball went dead at least 3 times more and he was still stood waiting for at least 5 minutes ready to go on.

Yup. Highlights the lack of urgency for me. Even Aarons looked like he couldn't be arsed to come on. Bluestar's post above hits the nail on the head. Even Wijnaldum and Thauvin look totally lost. You'd think as the new unpardewed players, they would shine like a beacon through that pile of shit. Mbemba is really the only player whose attitude I can't fault. Even Ayoze seems a bit withdrawn and ovethinking things, unlike his usual self.

Much better coming on as sub in the last couple of seasons. Hopefully be back on the bench once Mitrovic is back.

Glad we got this guy instead of Tuchel.

As if Tuchel was going anywhere else but Dortmund tbf

We're so static. There's just no movement around him to open up spaces, so he always ends up chased off the ball in tight situations. Basically Cabella with a bit more guile and less step overs.

Your original point is incorrect. The Geordie trick has worked a trick from a PR perspective.

Which was exactly what I said. It worked from a PR point of view but not a footballing one. Fans rarely turn against individual players en masse, especially inside the stadium, so they'll definitely not turn against good Geordie lad Jack. But they still display frustration and anger towards a bad football side that includes Colback.

If I remember correctly we started last season, under Pardew, with 8 straight games without a win. There's some serious bed-wetting and knee-jerking going on here, it's embarrasing sometimes. It's been a poor start but calling for McClaren's head is ludicrous.

Absolutely this.

 

I mean for f*** sake, how quick are we to get p*ssed off when the media say us as fans are demanding, impatient and expectant? And now, six games into a new season, a whole new coaching set up and having to rid ourselves of the utter s**** Pardew and Carver left behind and we're already prepared to write off McClaren?

 

Honestly, some of you guys are ridiculous. I barely post on here because I can't handle all the melodrama. It's going to take more than six games to sort this s**** out.

You're right, but I don't think anyone here wants him gone just for the sake of it. He should, and hopefully will, get a fair chance to turn this around. What people are asking for, and rightly expecting, is to see some commitment, urgency, and togetherness. If the football was decent, and the players showed that they cared, I'm sure everyone would be prepared to be patient with the manager.

He reminds me so much of Nicky Butt,  nowhere to be seen when we are attacking, nowhere to be seen when we are defending, where the f*** does he go??

 

He's a coward who thinks he's made it because he knows the crowd will give him all the slack he needs. Won the lottery when we had al pards as manager looking for a strapping Geordie lad to take on the local pacifier role. Just shows how little anyone running NUFC understands about NUFC fans, and that includes braindead fools like Carver and Stone.

Eh the majority of our fans love him.

The majority of our fans are idiots. I would love him too if he actually had any ability. The majority of our fans can't see that he has none. I'm all for having local lads who can actually play football over foreigners any day because they should, in theory, put in that extra 5% of thunder that might bring some f***ing hope and joy to the soulless pit that SJP has become.
