They are totally relevant, no one is paying 300 million for a champo club, no one. I meant coming into January, if we go down then obviously it's a different matter. I just mean our form now isn't a concern if you intend to buy now, should have made that clearer like.

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. We already do don't we ? We're not an exciting team in any way, we play fairly defensive football a lot of the time, don't we ?

I think the results are irrelevant, the stadium, training ground, manager and fans tell anyone who wants to buys us just what the future holds, if you get it right.

Unfortunately the step up in level has found out what we all knew, deep down like.

Sentiment is good, problem is it's utter bollocks.

We've got the England Under 20's world cup winning GK sitting on his arse, he cannot be worse than these two fuck ups. And don't give me that shit about being too young, good enough is old enough.

He needs to stay on his feet the fucking pillock, goes to ground far too quickly, mind you merino did a lot tonight as well.

He's making mistakes but you don't get rid of him when he has his first poor run. He's top class and will get through it if he's backed properly, which in where lies the problem.

Right Rafa stop fucking about and get this lad in the team, and don't give me none of that bollocks he can't play in a two. He did all last season and was excellent alongside Merino against liverpool in a two earlier this season. He's our creative player, our only one. Stop leaving him on the bench please ffs.

True but doesn't explain leaving Shelvey that does it, if you're so short on quality you don't really leave out your one creative player. If it's because he doesn't trust Shelvey in a two then make it a three and even then, he bloody well trusted Shelvey in a two against Liverpool, i think the no trust in a two is utter bollocks.

Where was Clark for the 3rd goal? Perez shouldn't have been the last man surely? Clark followed Lejeune over toward Vardy and at no stage looked over his shoulder, Clark is poor at this level, very poor. He's gone missing a lot in the last few games. Makes you realise how much he relied on Lascelles for leadership. Aye, the whole team has missed the skipper to be fair but Clark is crap at this level, not that it'll happen but it should be Mbemba with Lascelles. Think it'll be Lejeune and Lascelles in the midweek mind.

At the end there Atsu had the chance to cross it with a big space between their line and GK, and he turned back on his left and lost possession, i was going mental.

Conceded an average of 3 goals per game in the last 5 games. Classic relegation form. Luckily we aren't at the half way stage yet.

I know our players are pretty average but we can't even pass the ball, attack with any structure and our defending has gone to pot. Sorry but that must lay at Rafa's feet in this poor run, poor players or not we're better than we're playing right now. The players aren't solely to blame, tactics and selection by the manager haven't helped. Rafa has to have some money in January or we're toast.

Defend deep and hope to nick it.

We went up, I'd say he wasted not a lot. I get we bought some dross but the aim was to go up and we did, this league is where the money is.

Utter tactical genius

Fucking useless fat Spanish waiter

What's more of a worry for me is how bad defensively we've been lately. Chuck in Joselu up top and no creativity in midfield. Well we're fucking awful right now.

Why is some fat posh cunt running with the football under his arm, this BT Sport coverage is shit.

Aye, Rafa would rather play a striker who's been utterly woeful than even give Mitro a chance. Not sure who that says more about to be honest.
