TRon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Wish I had any confidence whatsoever in this being a turning point. Same, can see Spurs giving us a good pasting next week Well they won't put out a reserve side like Liverpool did today so yeah it will be hard.

Tsunami Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Happened again today, up against a top side on the TV and we put 100% effort (I don't credit McClaren for this), play against the bread and butter teams and we play at 80% to 90% and struggle.

Disco Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Will be able to tell a lot from what team they put out in the Waffa giving that they're through already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Don't think today will do anything in terms of a turning point tbh. We'll lose next week and put in another uninspiring performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 He may be questionable, but atleast he's fucking honest and tell's it how it is, and is seemingly a really nice guy, if this was Pardew he'd be full of praise for himself. http://www.skysports.com/football/newcastle-vs-liverpool/report/341331#ooid=wzd3VjeToFhtsWVYaItymfTkoIYnPV2D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 A decent performance today. However we still seem to have no motivation against the crappier teams in the league so that's where he really needs to fix things. A fair point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Happened again today, up against a top side on the TV and we put 100% effort (I don't credit McClaren for this), play against the bread and butter teams and we play at 80% to 90% and struggle. We've won 3 and 2 of them have been relegation rivals. We have no bias about who we are shit against. We've also lost on t.v against a few teams too. Arsenal and West Ham come to mind. Just a myth on both counts. We are just shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Pleased for him. Said before i think he's a thoroughly decent fella and he came across well post match today. Would love this to be a turning point, but don't think it will be. Let's see how we do against villa, Swansea, Everton etc, it's easy for the players to be pumped up against Chelsea and Liverpool. Pleased for him though, would love to think it'll carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Steve's had a lot of stick and rightly so. When the line-ups were revealed today he was being laughed at by us all. He got it right today, everyone seemed to be working for each other and we defended and attacked much better. I hope this gives the players some confidence and belief to move forward. May as well keep it the same for Spurs, but would like to see Mitro and Perez always getting game time though. Wish the Villa game was next, as it would be good to get on a bit of a roll.

AY Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 This 4-2-2-2 will be a big problem against Spurs, they have really attacking full backs so it asks a lot from Sissoko and Wijnaldum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 McClaren said after the 2-0 win against Liverpool : “We’ve had a tough week in terms of that, in terms of looking at various things and changing the team and changing personnel, not accepting the last two performances. “But on Thursday evening as normal – you always sleep on it – and there was kind of a lightbulb moment on Thursday evening and we just said, look more or less that team that started the last six or seven games before the last two was collecting points and playing well and it was just a case of people working hard, out-running opponents, winning your duels, being competitive.” McClaren went through the horror show at Palace with each player during a video session at the club’s Benton base. He said: “We have pointed out why we have lost the last two games and we gave everybody an opportunity to put that right, and they have done that.” And when asked if Wijnaldum had come close to the axe, the smiling head coach said: “I considered leaving out every one of them. “That’s why it’s a good job you have got a week in between. “We reviewed the last two weeks and we weren’t happy and that was stated, why we weren’t happy and the response from everybody has been great today.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It sounds wrong. The official PL stream showed a [meaningless] stat towards the end and their three top runners all ran further than ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one earlier in game which showed 3 of our players were the top runners, guessing our fitness etc tailed off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
