  1. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/jonas-gutierrez-players-to-blame-for-newcastle-mess-not-john-carver-1-7275410 Jonas Gutierrez says the players must take responsibility for Newcastle United’s plight – and fight to the last whistle to keep the club in the Premier League. Gutierrez and his team-mates take on West Ham United tomorrow knowing only a win would guarantee top-flight survival. John (Carver) gives us the education to get the points. Then, on the pitch, we have to take responsibility for what is going on. Now we have to be together. Jonas Gutierrez Newcastle, however, have taken just one point from a possible 30. And last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to relegated Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road, and Sunderland’s midweek draw at Arsenal, seemingly edged the club closer to the relegation trapdoor. Head coach John Carver has come under fire from angry fans given the injury and suspension-hit team’s sorry record in recent months. But Gutierrez – who experienced the pain of relegation with United in 2009 – says Carver can only do so much on the training field. And he insists the responsibility for results, ultimately, lies at the door of the players. “We are the players on the pitch – we try to do the best,” said Gutierrez. “John gives us the education to get the points. Then, on the pitch, we have to take responsibility for what is going on. Now we have to be together.” Carver, speaking ahead of the West Ham game, implored the club’s supporters to put their differences with him and owner Mike Ashley to one side for 90 minutes at St James’s Park. He said there would be an “inquest” into this season’s failings once the last ball has been kicked. However, Gutierrez – who made an inspirational return to the field earlier this year after being given the all-clear following treatment for testicular cancer in his native Argentina, says now is NOT the time to apportion blame. “I don’t like to think who is at fault,” he said. “We are the players that are on the pitch, and we have to think what we’re doing wrong and to change it. “We have just one week, and we have to be focused.”

    Clement is totally unproven so I wouldn't get excited about that.

    Pardew was sacked by a League 1 side, so at least we're getting our cast offs from a higher division this time. Whoopee!

    Ashley must be fapping away, number 1 candidate sacked from a championship side. It's Pardew all over again.
  5. 14/15 Cisse banned, tiote injured and midfielders in defence 13/14 had Remy, cisse, tiote and a semi defence (and ben arfa) 12/13 had Cabaye, cisse, tiote, ben arfa and a defence Not sure Pardew would have done much better than Carver, he is still the better manager. He did in the first half of the season no?

    I know what your saying but cmon Valdes is one of the best keepers in the world. Starting him is no hardship.
  8. Thanks a lot. Yeah, the team is finishing the season in great form. I honestly wasn't expecting such a change of fortune given how we were playing a mere five months ago. Those "showdown" talks seemed to do the trick.
  9. He wouldn't have played any of them. Considering he plays Cabella i think he would, well Hatem would anyway. You really think Carver would essential take Hatems side over captain courageous?
  10. He wouldn't have played any of them.

    Didn't he say once he'd given it his all and tried everything he'd step aside?

    More from everyone's favourite Geordie: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/john-carver-rejects-claims-newcastle-9270391 “I think we were in control of the first half. Let’s not forget we have one or two young lads out there and I will use Perez as an example. “He wasn’t supposed to be our mainline striker for the season but he has been. “He is developing and will be a good player for this football club. Sometimes the situation gets to them and it might have with him.” Carver also stated that he coud not have started with Papiss Cisse. He added: “We didn’t have many options. I couldn’t have started Papiss. “I think you saw when Papiss came on there wasn’t a great deal going for him and that’s the reason why he didn’t start.” Occasion got to Ayoze today

    Well there's a surprise. "Aah just cannit undahstand it!" Given his comment you'd actually think it was a good first half performance and we declined badly in the second. The reality is we went from Very poor to abysmal.
