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.

Longstaff is hovering around the ball without looking like he really wants it.

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.

You sit back like that and mistakes will happen. Not sure on why our mentality is that way playing away - obviously injuries haven’t helped and I know that always gets said, but injuries haven’t helped. They haven’t. The injuries we’ve had. 

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...

Also, Matt Ritchie is a complete waste of a shirt. He can barely run man. There's no point in putting him on unless it's a total last resort.

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.

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.

 

and a high tempo, high intensity style!

He needs a holiday or something. Just wtf is going on

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.

Flat in attack, resolute in defence.

Looking shattered but still a threat if we get it anywhere near that Badavasaaloioi guy - he's utter wank!

HWTL 

What's everyones thoughts on Toney? Bit of a knacker but his confidence is similar to that of Wilson, he'd be a great option to rotate with Wilson and allow Isak to rotate also with them and the wide players.

Barnes left, Gordon right?

I do think a RW would be great too, but not sure who....Bowen from WHU? or some unknown European?

Head and shoulders. So so good today. Top man! Him and Miley link up was great to see.

Think Miggy is fucked and his quality is suffering for it

His stats agree. One of the most one-dimensional players I've seen for us.

We lack creativity, especially to unlock a team down to 10. Bruno is the only one who sees a pass. 

Longstaff is a waste of time in this game and we need to offer something other than the right-wing triangle move that is becoming predictable...

The silver lining - is not in the euro league.

Get the injured back, buy a couple and concentrate on the league again.

Proud of the lads and this club.

I Thought Longstaff looked more like the debutant 17-year-old tbh, when he came on. Class act and should hold his head high.

Well played lad!

I love the guy and love what he's brought to the team and it feels like putting a puppy down but it's time

 

Next season we need a starting winger that's a level above

 

Miggy has 6 PL assists for us, that's 1 for each season he has been at the club 

Comical, really. Lovely lad, clearly and busts his balls week in, and week out, but you score goals through assists. He's playing as a wide forward so more is needed from the wide two.

Canny sub but should not be starting next season.

Brobbey needs 5 chances to score

Any good?

Anyone having a pop at Eddie needs to do one, like. Got fuck all to work with and I reckon half the players turning out are carrying knocks.

Entitled seem to grow faster than brain cells in a defeat with many of our fans.

 

He should not be questioned yet or next season in my opinion.

 

I'd buy a 6 and another wide right/forward and fuck ffp and go again.

Maybe a decent GK as well.

Lucky to have him. Back to his best today. He sets the tone. What a leader.

Honestly, hard not to love this entire team - they represent us with pride.

Honestly. The guy is fucking unbelievable - always loved him but he's so so good. His distribution and passing range is the best in the league.

The lads a machine - never stops. The perfect Howe player, him Big Joe and Livramento is some left flank, energy, power, and speed.

Some of his touches first half were sublime and way beyond his years. Second half his positional sense was top draw.

Growing with every game. If only he had scored!
