worthy

My god what a midfielder he is, I'm so happy to be so fucking wrong about him and I hope he continues this for years to come

Happy holidays, let's all just hope for some early January gifts, hopefully 6 of them!

When your defender is already in the motion of going for a header, as a keeper you dont fucking go out and clatter your teammate and risk injuring or losing the ball, you let them head it out. This is what you learn at the youngest level of football, its simple shit.

BBM/Defensive Winger Joelinton is by far the best ive seen of him. May his luck or whatever drives him to be able to make that position work long continue.

My local pub team has defenders that can play better than this fuckwit

If he was any sort of man, he would own up to being a fucking dogshit player and at least apologize for being braindead for two big moments after Howe has come in. Worst player I have ever seen and should never put on the shirt ever again fuck off out of town with him EDIT: He had the fucking nerve to blame Dubs as well after he fucking had a meltdown the shitter.

The thing is, We all have seen how shit the Shelvey / Willock CM has been, nothing was done until today for some reason. We all know that Ritchie and Clark have at least 1 if not 2-3 major mistakes every game. Yet they get played until suspensions. The man clearly has some absurd picks and one should be allowed to point that out.

What I mean is, The keeper isnt calling out for the ball due to Clark showing that he is going to put it out and he doesnt want to go in to a duel with Clark which makes sense. Now should he have called it? Maybe, but if he doesnt you as a defender play the ball out. But what we get here is a fucking pub league defender T-ing up to head it, then he bottles it and decides not to for some fucking reason and then Dubs has to react to his defender not doing a bog standard fucking job and there we have it, goal against.

The problem is that fucking Clark makes it look like he is going to head it, and ofc Dubs will think he is going to head it, then he pulls out so Dubs is stranded and a goal against it is. If people cant see this, they cant have played any football.

We need 4 defenders and 2 CMs. If we dont get 6 players in we are fucked.

ritchie and lascelles being shit defenders, I am shocked.

Yeah, you know except gifting goals away.

Not when you dont call it and your defender sets up to go for it then lets it pass like. Its all Clark

The problem here is that they dont fucking speak. So Dubs thinks that he is clearing cause he is going for it, then he fucking decides to juke and not go for it. Its all on Clark with his dummy move that fakes Dubs out.

How fucking stupid can you be to select clark after his shit show. STOP IT YOU FUCKING IDIOT

Clark playing, Clark doing dumb shit. Fuck off man. I will fucking chuck you in the fucking river if i see you you fucking sack of shit.

By far. I was Joelintons biggest critic, but I cant fault his game in his CM/Defensive Winger role. He has been something else. His offensive game isnt strong but he has been utterly fantastic defending.

Whats fucking scary is when I see the decisions made in this game and to a degree the other games it makes me fucking believe the conspiracy about refs against us. Cause its fucking absurde how many shit calls we get against each other, and what the fucking hell was that bodyblock by him at the end? Why the fuck would you run in the sightline of the shot, there was no fucking reason to move over at fucking all.

With what we have I would love Howe to try to go for a 4-3-2-1. If we keep on using ASM on the left, stick Joelinton on the left mid to help out with his defensive incapability and we will also have the pleasure of being able to overload the opponents midfield rather than having Shelvey and Willock try to run any midfield, cause that is just not a match that is working at all.

Misused player. He has a very valuable toolset and it shows again and again, but sadly his end product is not up to par, though as many has stated, under Rafa we saw what sorta player he could be with the correct role and instructions. Still hope to see Howe realize this and use him in the middle.

Try him as a box to box with more focus on the defending, cause I don't think he will lose nearly as many duels as Willock does at the moment and the Shelvey Willock thing is horrible

I think a lot of the problem for ASM is that he either wants or feels like he has to solve the attacking plays by himself. And honestly, I don't blame him for that, when you see the finishing we apply when it's given from our players, well then might as well go for it. Problem is though, his defensive ability is at best as good as Ritchie, and that is a major problem in a side like ours. So if I'm honest i would rather play him in a 10 or shadow striker and let him have some free role and then have a trio behind him that does not have Shelvey and Willock in it, now, we are quite clearly not spoilt for choices but at this point we might as well just try what we can try, cause having him on the wing when they go that route is rough. But honestly, he is still one of the only hopes we have right now.

6 players in minimum to have a chance in hell to actually survive this. Question is who would be brave/stupid/crazy enough to come to circus Newcastle as we are now? It's not looking too hot for survival and if we do it's going to be right at the curtain fall for us, cause what we have now are not up to the task at all and it's not getting any better. The Leicester team was there for the taking, they were horrible until the dive from Maddison, but no protests no nothing shows to me that there is no fight or will in this so called team of football players. And if they are mentally signed out for defeat and relegation, well then that's 100% what we will get.

Nothing in this team works, its a dark comedy

he is just a WUM
