Well that was horrific, CP actually reminded me of us last season. The high press in unison and blowing opposition away with the speed of transitions. Our passing was so profligate at times. It is not a thought I'm comfortable with but I do sometimes wonder about Eddie's ability to change a game's dynamics with tactical nous. Oh! And Burn and Longstaff are NOT the level we are looking for, especially annoying as they are both homegrown locals.

Some background on Tiago Pinto He left Roma Feb 3rd, 24 Decent Athletic article here too.

Shit! Does that mean we have to re-evaluate his status as a cunt?

Doesn't show much emotion does he, even wheeling away from the goal not the faintest trace of a smile. Tino 'stonecold '. And when oh when are the club going to ditch that awful interviewer?

You've just taken the wildly disparate views of two different posters and equated them with the board as a sum. Don't think it is the board that is weird.

It has to be said, even if several forum stalwarts have apoplexy, it might be time for Tripps to take a back seat.

I'd just like to say Danny Murphy is a godawful co-commentator, absolute pits!

Thought Miley was good again overall, but yeah, great to see him back - we've missed him.

Out for 3 months with a bruised tit! Heard everything now.

This is possibly the biggest flaw, if flaw it is. The loyalty shown to a winning 11 is set too high, in fact it would seem to the eventual detriment to the team. We've seen often enough when changes were forced that the players came in were fresh and motivated to do well. The same would surely have applied to a player rested for a game - they come back fresher and keen to re-establish themselves as a mainstay.

Well a very small minority are generating a whole lot of discussion, which is all I was referencing; but I'll rephrase my initial question for you. I really don't recall but did we (a very small minority) turn on (grumble about) Benitez so quickly after a poor run of results?

Wow, I did not see that coming. That was last season's Newcastle, who have been spotted all too rarely this one. Hopefully restores a lot of confidence and belief going forwards.
