I thought you liked that we had our own thread?

Writing off Amorim nearly as quickly as you wrote off Dobey yesterday.

Nah. I read them from time to time but don't post. Find RedCafe in particularly a dreadful place. Incredibly negative.

Can't believe you lost the passing against a midfield of Casemiro and Eriksen.

50 years into the future, when people don't even use the internet anymore, I'll still be on here rambling away to myself about Ten Hag's epic cup wins.

He does. He plays a 6-3-1 out of possession. He addressed this as well. How he also plays 4-4-2 in some transitions. He's not an idiot. It's just going to take some time.

It's out of context from what he said. He said he would adapt to win games, but he wouldn't stop trying to sell his idea to the players because once a coach stops believing in their idea and changing because of results it's the end of them. He said he was hired for this and that's how he'll play. Laurie Dickwell just writing headlines for clicks.

I think every Premier League footballer can play to a system, they just need some time to adjust surely? Amorim has been in the job for 6 weeks man. Can we all relax?

Carrying an injury. Only barely made the squad. He was expected to be out.

Which we can't do without sales. That'll be fun position to be in when negotiating.

I'll be happy for you. A club like Newcastle didn't deserve what happened to you under Ashley. I look forward to our rivarly in the years to come.

It needs a new LWB at an absolute minimum and a new #10 as soon as possible. Amorim will get the two windows and the rest of the season to implement this idea, but I don't think he'll get as long as Ten Hag if it doesn't work.

Trophies are all that matters at the end of the day Rod. Unfortunately I think we've won our last one for an extremely long time. Maybe two or three years. Not sure how I'll cope.

Sounds an awful lot like Ten Hag to me.

Yeah I think Garnacho would be even worse. Garnacho is an out and out winger. He runs but he doesn't know how to press or defend. Antony as our #10 is just scary. That's a clear indication of how bad it is.

I don't think Dalot nor Mazraoui have the quality to play wing back in that system. Dalot is potentially capable on the right but is badly exposed on the left. There's just nobody else. There's some stupid stat that we haven't not scored a goal when those two are wing backs, but when it's been Amad or Antony we've scored 9. At the same time, he can't play Amad there as we don't have good enough #10's if Amad was to drop deeper, especially with Fernandes out. Another fun stat: the last 4 games we've not had Fernandes - 0 goals.

Quoting a post from two years ago is embarrassing. You've really got to stop it. Isak was an overpay at the time, and he's turned out to be worth the money. It's as simple as that. Casemiro was an overpay, and he's turned out to be a poor buy, albeit instrumental in us winning silverware you'd give your left nut for. Nothing more needs to be said. Isak is class and I got it wrong and he might be the one to make Arsenal title winners.

We had control of the midfield against Wolves, so it did. It was 0-0 until we went down to 10 men. Obviously your midfield is a different kettle of fish to the Wolves one, but to say it didn't make a difference is off the mark. To say we wouldn't have been better with a midfield 3 of Ugarte, Mainoo and Fernandes instead of a midfield 3 of Eriksen, Casemiro and Zirkzee is disingenuous. I'm in absolutely no way saying we would have got something from the game, as you were that good in the opening 30. Result would have been the same IMO, just maybe not as embarassing as it was early on.

Like he said in his interview last night, he's there because the team was losing and the previous manager was sacked. Now people want him to go back to that system that got the previous manager sacked? He needs to stick to his idea and see who's going to be playing for him next season. Eriksen and Casemiro are fourth and fifth choice midfielders for us. They never really had any hope against a strong midfield that was bang in form, and the formation wouldn't really have mattered. Game shifted when Mainoo came on, but the damage was already done.

He's not good enough, but thought that was a bit of a joke to be honest. For how shite he is, at least he tries.

Quoting posts from two years ago. What have you become Mike? Casemiro will cry into his two trophies while Isak will get the "the geordies really like me" trophy.

I knew we'd bond eventually Rod.

I thought he handled that interview well tbh.

Aghast at him being made captain tonight. He's been atrocious. Think his midgetness is catching up to him and it doesn't matter how good on the ball he is.

He can't buy 11 new players. I genuinely want him to persist with his system.
