triggs

The argument always seems to be pardew,rafa, ashley transfers etc etc. Burnley have a totally average squad and a far less decorated manager who is making the best of it. Burnley are a big well organised side who defend well. Newcastle fans would never accept if Rafa went down that route, far more expectation here. Eh? That's exactly what he was doing when we were actually doing well this season There's more to Burnley than just that btw, they can keep it well when they get it

He was terrible

Every f***ing time. aka neither of you watched the match properly and just want to push the Joselu/Mitrovic button regardless of whether the context aligns with it. Joselu and Gayle were the only players that come out with any credibility, both scored and still the Mitrovic fans force out the tears. Chill out man, I prefer Mitrovic over Joselu, he's a better player in every single aspect. If you don't like me stating that then that's fine, but maybe stop replying every single time with the same s***. Maybe take your own advice on that front, if you're gonna post then expect replies. Mitrovic isn't going to play, the same points being made isn't limited to his detractors either, both sides have done their points to death. Shoehorning it in after Joselu and Gayle both scored and played well in a match where everyone else was an absolute joke is always likely to get critical posts. Can't you see the hypocrisy here though? You constantly bang on with your against-Mitrovic agenda, I constantly bang on with my pro-Mitrovic agenda, we're in the exact same boat only I don't feel the need to pull you up on your opinion every single time as you (and 'triggs') do with me. It's tedious man, if you don't like my perspective on the matter then just don't reply to my comments on it, easy. 'Cause you must have replied to the exact same point, with the exact same response at least 4-5 times in the past month. We have two differing opinions on one specific matter, get over it, I did Nah, I've generally agreed recently that Mitro should be ahead of Joselu in the pecking order and I don't have an anti-Mitro agenda. It just smacks of an agenda from you and others when the only two players we have who played well were strikers and the first person to be mentioned is Mitro

Hey, don't take one negative posters views as representative of the whole. This place is garbage when the team are struggling, always has been, emotions take the place of reason. Blaming Rafa for Ashleys running of the club is bordering on the insane imo. But we could/should have a three man midfield every game, Shelvey needs to be out there purely for the way he can change a game. (and I'm not thinking red cards. ) I have posted on here before and said quite clearly that I don't understand - at all - why Rafa has abandoned a system that has served him so well and gone 4-4-2 in search of goals. Yeah you've scored them but you're shipping them at a ridiculous rate. I find it bizarre. Rafa is usually the stubborn guy who never rips up his rulebook, and yet he's cast aside his favoured formation. I genuinely don't understand it as it could cost him his job - (my comments up the thread were in response to some dimwitted meff who said he'd damaged you forever) - and that'd be a shame for you, and for him. But that's football Have any journos asked him why he's abandoned 4-2-3-1? He's played it everywhere, through thick and thin. Was there a clamour to change it? Journos never ask questions that fans actually want the answer to

Should've knocked it into Okazaki's legs then fallen the f*** over like he seems to excel at doing at the other end of the pitch. Perez played well man. Haddaway, man. None of them did. It was a shit all-round performance. Some might've been less shit than others but they all looked as clueless as each other. Gayle was good by any standards

Start Atsu and Murphy next game

Ashley is to blame but the manager absolutely has to take some of the blame when you get 1 point from 7 games

Every fucking time. aka neither of you watched the match properly and just want to push the Joselu/Mitrovic button regardless of whether the context aligns with it. Joselu and Gayle were the only players that come out with any credibility, both scored and still the Mitrovic fans force out the tears. Both strikers score and generally do well with incredibly limited supply and still people talk about Mitro

embarrassing fan boy stuff Aye, as much as there has been some embarrassing comments from our fans, this bloke is embarrassing

Every f***ing time. Joselu was fine Was he? Mitrovic looked much more imposing and more like a football player than Joselu ever will, imo. Joselu tried today but he hasn't got what it takes. Mitrovic was on for about five minutes, he'd want to look more imposing. Joselu scored and generally linked it well. The Mitrovic obsession after every single game from some people is embarrassing at times

Runs like a 90 year old

Every fucking time. Joselu was fine

Absolutely. It’s fucking dead as a formation. Not if you have midfielders who have a fucking clue what they're doing

Officials have been fucking shite

Clark's miles better than Lejeune

Merino and Hayden should be sent to the reserves for their tracking today

Fucking hell. Feel sorry for Perez

That was Merino

Merino's been awful like

Darlow

Perez has been canny tbf

Not a foul but terrible by Merino regardless

That's a pure Colback thing to do by Lejeune

Who's said he's our best player? He's by far our best goal scorer though and comes alive in the box. I did, and I stand by it
