Like Ritzy in 2000!

4am start from me, two days after flying back to USA from the toon. I'm fucked. Best get to bed, its past 10pm. HWTL.

Still with Eddie 100%. The Guy has been swimming with no limbs. I'd give him this and next season, then reevaluate then. Not sure what some folk expect on here - it's pretty clear what the issue is. Squad depth and a freak season of injuries... Let's hope he gets a big win on Saturday and the bounce to kick on from there...HWTL.

We miss him when not in the team. He's the most aggressive presser we have.

Reet! Just nailing my colours to the mast and declaring my full support for Eddie. I hope he's still in the dugout next season and for many more - a few have short memories and need to thank their lucky stars we have him. He works his nuts off, is a credit to the club and city and just needs some fucking fresh players - Get the injured back and a few more in, and most importantly get them 100% and we'll be fine. Yes, he's got shit to learn, don't we all. And I'm sure he's doing more than anyone to fix this. Anyway - let's get behind him!

Honest interview post match, as you'd expect.

Rice is a class act. Exactly the type of player we need. Just sitting reading the game in front of him, dropping in if needed. Top quality player, obviously.

Not good enough.

Bar the odd Worldie, he does very very little but open space up for Trippier. He's Sunday league level in regards using both feet and it's too easy to read. Lovely lad, bang average footballer who runs around a lot....well did. He's too tired to right now.

Tino could play the inverted left winger.....no?

He's already burnt out, Id say. Give them all a week off and play the kids against Forrest and Liverpool. We're not gonna win with this group. Empty Tanks.

Not sure what advantage there is from playing clearly exhausted or and injured players - my only pain point with wor Eddie! He looked wrecked from the kickoff and finished the game. Madness!

Agree but he's flogged to death. Guy plays every second of every fucking game, and it's a rule that everything has to go through him. We need some more creativity and brains to help him. Longstaff was utterly invisible today tbh

At what point do you bring Livramento and Hall on? ffs

Rancid 45, that. Too many playing for themselves of late, rather than running for their team. Piss Poor.

Townsend in Jan?

should have been longstaff not Miley.

And continuing to fall over when he eventually does - frustrating player of late. Not doing enough.

Howe is a class act, in all ways. Just needs a little break with injuries. We're running before we were walking, it's caught up a little. Hope he's here for a very long time, the guy makes you proud to support Newcastle United.

It's tough to press high after playing 3 games a week since September with 13 players. Today was a shocker but it's only going to get better, I'd say. Eddie is the last guy to sit back, but damned if he does right now...

At what point would you say we are at last resort? We look like we're running over the trenches the last few weeks. Players are playing too many games and we have bugger all options.

and a high tempo, high intensity style!

Combination of tiredness in many forms. Physically stretched due to Key injuries and betting habits → those playing are playing high pressure top top opposition every 3 days → Little to no training → Those that are coming back are being rushed back Can't knock these players for being physically and mentally shot. When you see Miggy not sprint back you know they're fucked! Such a bizarre season, even if we had got a port vale or a fulham etc but no, its AC Milan, PSG, Dortmund, Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea...cant fucking write this shit tbh - it's comincal. All with a squad that is simply not ready to battle on 4 fronts.

They all do - thats the point. He made a mistake - it fucking happens. If not for their mistake we'd not have scored. It's just a royal kick in the nuts...Only NUFC. Next year! Proud of the lads, did very little wrong.

Gotta love these lads like. Bruno must be on -10 Battery - still giving it 200%. Some team of players we have.
