We've never defended this badly previously like. Stats say otherwise. We’ve conceded a ton of chances in loads of games You and your fucking stats man My eyes say otherwise. Our discipline has been poor tonight and there's huge gaps. Positionally we have never been this poor this season and haven't made this many mistakes. With how deep we defend we're always going to conceed chances - as we did last season and the season before - but tonight is more akin to the Leicester game, we're wide open. Exactly.

Not on this like. Unacceptable.

Had 2 great chances, scored 1. 2 mistakes and 2 goals really fucked it.

That was a UFC eye poke

Dat defending

Fair play to Joelinton, class hold up, great finish.

Cracking win for Southampton tbf.

Class being able to flick through the games like. Love it.

Just switched over to Southampton game and saw a goal

I'm watching Villa/Norwich.

Tremendous goal. Lovely move - class pass then lay off and finish.

"Stewy got another stripper pregnant and need our money again?" :lol:

Should have went other side

Pardew on the panel ffs

Class finish

Quality on my PS4 is pure sex. Sneaked home from Missus's parents house early. Watch first 2 games here and then next 2 at my mates.

Newcastle are looking to complete the league double over Manchester United for the first time since the 1930-31 season. The Magpies have claimed 16 points from the last 24 available (W5, D1, L2) - only Liverpool and Leicester have accrued more over that period.

We scores first against Liverpool, and lost. That doesn't count. It's Liverpool

He is a snide like. Nowt wrong with having a drink but he comes across like a creeper.

Really think we should be going for Bowen from Hull. Few clubs keen, Leicester I think, but he would be a good option to have here. Saint Maximin, Bowen, Almiron, could play off Carroll too. We need more in centre midfield, sniff someone out -should be spending £30M, need to improve the squad and a add a bit more depth.

If we score first, got a good chance of a result tbh. An early goal conceded would be difficult. All our away games this season - we score first, we win. We concede we lose.

By Astu do you mean Aye

From their forum: "A third, unknown and estranged Longstaff brother will emerge from nowhere moments before kick off. He will twat a thunderbastard into the top corner from 40 yards. 0-1" :lol:

We were under Rafa as well tbf, but there was always the impression that he was trying to refine us and gradually get us playing more fluid football. With Bruce you get the feeling there's nothing else, he's just going to ride the wave of Rafa's defensive organisation for as long as he can. You mean like being the 4th highest scoring team in the league in the second half of last season? To now being the 3rd lowest scorers. In the last 17 games under Rafa we scored 27 goals. In the first 17 games under Bruce we scored 17 goals. We’ve gone back a year. Far less of an attacking threat now compared to the second half of last season. Not having two-thirds of the strikeforce from that period might also have something to do with it mind. Yeah he only spent £60million to replace them Can’t make excuses for someone with a front 3 that cost £80million being bottom for nearly every attacking stat going. He was not given £60 milion to replace them. He was given two players allegedly worth that to replace them. One of which who has, thus far, lived up to his price tag, and one which who has absolutely not. Clearly, we/Bruce, need to make massive improvements to our attacking play if we're going to improve in the long run, but let's not make out he came along, chucked away Rafa's attacking methods, and replaced them with his own. I think a huge percentage of managers would get more out of the forward players that he has. OK, but that's opinion, rather than fact. Do you agree that most manager would get more out of the forward players that he’s got? Some would, obviously. But a quick scan of the league: Hodgson - Zaha, Benteke, Ayew - less goals Silva - Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin - two more Howe - King, Wilson, Fraser - one more Pellegrini - Haller, Anderson, Yarmelenko - one more As i've said, our attacking play will have to improve substantially in the long-run, and we can all cherry-pick stats to try and back-up the point we're making (as I've done here, and you're very well-versed in), but it's not as simple as saying 'Bruce is shit at attacking'. :lol:

I think a huge percentage of managers would get more out of the forward players that he has. We’ve got Steve Pulis as manager. His Birmingham side got relegated scoring only 28 goals all season. We scored 16 goals after first 21 games last season. We're on 18 goals after 18 games this season. Realistically you can't judge this season until the end of the season. We'll see where we are, and compare to the previous season.
