mrmojorisin75 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Andy, Andy Cole article! Bit about McClaren in there - canny read overall! https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/newcastle-united-long-tough-season-082240059.html Really enjoyed that article. Cole really hit home there and brought some great memories back. Agree very good read and not the usual crass and ignorant perspective you bet from most sources. Surprised me coming from Cole, who has always seemed bitter or arrogant about his time with us. Fair play to him. As for McClaren. Lose to Watford and the inevitable 2 defeats after and I think the pressure ramps. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mike pulling the trigger quicker than many may think. Surprised there's so much praise for that article tbh, seems to me he's just filled it with loads of generic football clichés instead of deluded Geordie clichés so people have taken it as insightful.

DJ_NUFC Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 This fuck I honestly thought that he would have the decency to lay low after his apocalyptic time in charge, but he's walking around swinging his dick like he's the best coach in the league.

NG32 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Not sure how he can even be making any kinds of comments after his disastrous run as Newcastle head coach. Why he feels he should speak up on the subject or agree to an interview is beyond belief. The man is nothing but a cockroach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Looking past the messenger and the strange suggestion that our play in any way resembles tika-taka he does have a point that we clearly lack penetration so far.

SUPERTOON Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 The one positive from McClaren so far is his relative honesty with his comments. He hasn't made any excuses from Monday night and seems ready to make the necessary changes. His honesty about our lack of any attacking quality what so ever is also refreshing. Obviously he needs to act upon it but hopefully that can come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 He's refreshingly honest, next thing we need is for him to act upon the obvious faults in the team and personnel!

Gallowgate Toon Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I don't think he set up on Monday to be defensive, tbf. He set us up quite positively, in terms of shape, and I reckon he wanted us to keep the ball, get the game as wide as possible and work openings patiently. I think some players just didn't turn up (it's quite a new set up for them, tbf, we've only played in that sort of style against Southampton) and he got 1 key position wrong. It's still really early days with how he wants us to play and it looks like they've worked on a few different shapes and tactics, so they've likely not mastered anything and there will be teething problems. Player movement going forward is a big issue but I've heard that's Cathro's domain and I'm sure it'll improve the more it gets worked on. I'm guessing he wants us to generally end up like this: http://www.zonalmarking.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/modern-centre-half.gif If that's the plan, he really should play Ayoze in one of those AM spots, as well as sorting out the obvious Colback/Anita problem.
