Swap Almiron and ASM.

People took to him because it gave us another stick to hit Bruce with when he came in and the team immediately had that performance away at Everton. But overall I'm far from convinced of him as a coach because no one has improved one bit. The 3 games he's taken; Palace - lucky to get a point, Benteke should probably have had a hattrick. Chelsea - embarrassingly bad, not one semblance of an attacking threat. I understand how good Chelsea are but that was a mess; the performance, tactical set up, everything. Dreadful. Brighton - First half is one of the most embarrassed I've ever been watching Newcastle, it was an absolute disgrace. Improved second half and should've won it really, but on the whole still meh. 2 points from those 3 games is probably more than we'd have gotten under Bruce, but fuck me. The plan has clearly been to keep games at 0-0 or 1-0 until around the 70th minute then try and shithouse something.

Aye, think he did well when he came on. Thought he would've been useful v Chelsea given how much we were hoofing it, and hoofing to Wilson v Rüdiger, Thiago Silva and Christensen was utterly braindead.

Probably exactly the same as the OP, but I want to see Lewis get some decent coaching for once so I'd play him too.

He's just lacking confidence imo. Also is consistently being played out of position, when his best games in both performances and output have been in the #10: his actual position.

I've just thought that with him being at the game yesterday, he'll have travelled up with Tindall today to get contracts signed, interviews and pictures done, house hunting starting. If it's stalled due to the staff thing then, fuck me.

There's a chance Leeds and/or Watford could lose their next 3: Leeds have Leicester (h), Spurs (a), Brighton (a). Watford have Arsenal (a), West Ham (h), Leicester (a). We just need 9 points from Brentford, Norwich and Burnley. Get those 9 points and we could well be out the bottom 3. Those games are must win.

Part of me can actually see Bruce at Norwich played for them and that. But since Hughton, Norwich have tended to go for the more obscure appointments; Adams, Neil, Farke.

Going to this. *Should* be Eddie Howe's first game in charge. Should be a good atmosphere, and it simply has to be 3 points.

Burnley, Leicester and Everton are chances of points imo.

Proper shithouse.

Mental how after that disgrace of a 1st half I feel robbed after that.

Ciaran Clark should not be playing games for Newcastle United in 2021. Nor should half the team for that matter tbh, but fuck me.

That was honestly humiliating. A League 2 side if they were away at Brighton in the FA Cup wouldn't have been that passive. That was an absolute disgrace to this club.

This is a fucking disgrace. Jones needs to fuck off.

Jones can fuck off for me tbh. We're never picking up anything with that side and how we approach games.

Called it, but with added Murphy. kill iz

Be Shelvey and Almirón probably, no change to the system. Pure football terrorism.

Rio a pundit for this.

Assuming Norwich win we'll be bottom and the only winless side in the league. We need to start winning games. Now.

Doesn't mean too much in the greater scheme of things atm but being bottom of the league is fucking damning. We need to win this.

We're bottom of the league as it stands.

But, but...they've only been here a month.

If true, remains to be seen, then this manager search has been beyond a fucking joke.
