No excuse for not playing him tbh. The manager is not immune to criticism and this is one he's getting wrong atm. No way should we be chasing a game at home with Gayle/Perez upfront. Pathetic decision.

Pissed off tbh. He should be playing. Gayle was fucking pointless today as soon as Joselu went off, and Joselu isn't a striker. We need to persevere with Perez/Mitrovic partnership, it's the best we've got and by far fucking better than Gayle/Joselu. The manager cost us today with these choices.

Fucking this so much! Gayle offered literally nothing without Joselu. Moving to Perez/Gayle is part of what cost us this game. We were never scoring with them on the pitch. Sort it out Rafa ffs, Mitrovic is better than this lot man.

If I was Mitrovic I'd be fucking fuming with Rafa Benitez. He has fucked up royally here.

We are so lucky. Fucking dire performance this. Shocking.

Gayle off please. Perez/Gayle is a terrible partnership. Need Mitrovic on for any chance of winning this.

There's no decent argument for why Mitrovic can't get in this team. He's better than the lot attack-wise.

Lejuene & Atsu the only two with credit from this game unfortunately.

Stop just blaming Joselu, most of our players have been poor here and made stupid mistakes. Terrible passing, terrible decision making.

We've gone to shit here. Poor performance unless something changes.

Honestly believe if we started Perez & Mitrovic here we would be in the lead. These have been there for the taking all game but we've not done anywhere near enough.

Howay man Gayle, literally all he's good for, running in behind and he messes it up. Not looking like our day this.

wake the fuck up Newcastle. Shite this imo.

What? Atsu has been one of/the best players on the pitch.

These are the poorest side we have faced this season. Take Joselu off for Mitrovic or Perez, either would cause them problems. Kind of think Perez would be well suited to the space available here and also Bournemouth losing position in their 3rd often.

What I've taken from that half. Atsu is mint and our most dangerous attacking threat. Lejuene is proper class. Robbie has made some very important saves. The rest need to do better.

That was clearly a foul by Gayle tbf

Atsu is the only player you can trust to use the ball well and get forward. Nobody else offering enough at the moment. Shelvey, Hayden, Gayle, Joselu all with poor moments and touches this half.

We should be bossing this game. Not good enough, they're a very poor side and we're being too sloppy to capitalise.

fucking howay newcastle man

That's a very good save.

Shouldn't be conceding against these today.

From what I've seen here, Bournemouth could quite easily be going down. They look dreadful.

Atsu playing great.

Shit from Yedlin there, needs to sort his passing out.
