Wallsendmag Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Broken record. He's taking us down but worryingly he doesn't realise it. Same every week; "played well, did everything but score etc etc". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I can't even be arsed to read anything he's said as it's the same old crap every time we lose. Every interview he uses the word "attitude" at least 4 times. If you havnt noticed, listen for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Every interview he uses the word "attitude" about 4 times. If you havnt noticed, listen for it. The most notable occurrence of which coming when Lowes asked him if we were signing a striker a few weeks back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 all him today, he pardewed his way to this one Aided by a fair amount of s**** on the pitch. All he had to do was make one f***ing change. Jesus. And then what? Our centre halves still would've been mugged off by Deeney and Ighalo being able to out-muscle them. So might have been an idea to play to our strengths then rather than rely on a defence that got raped by the same front pair at St James. The f*** are people watching? The same thing but trying to view it with more balance, maybe? Balance. Christ. Have you actually criticised any players today, by any chance? Or is it just your usual McClaren rant that you've been regurgitating every single week for about the last 7 months? We're back to the Pardew days again are we? Manager gets it all wrong so lets blame the players, or perceived lack of them. Last week was McClaren, I don't recall anyone taking it away from him. Today was McClaren too, f***ing s***. Every decision wrong just like most of his time here or we'd have more points. Why do you only view this as one way or the other? That's my point, I only ever see you criticise one person out of the staff in our whole mess. Because we go through players like a hot knife through butter while holding onto managers for years. It's simple stuff to me. Get a better manager the players will play better. Today was the worst I've seen of McClaren, basically Pardew vs Reading levels of absolute s****. You blame whoever you want but I said before the game started we were beat with that formation and selection and that's how it turned out. And you don't think there's a decent chance we'd have been beaten in a 4-2-3-1 with 2 physically poor CBs against 2 of the most direct forwards in the league? I think today was reminiscent of early this season with Anita playing at 3rd CB so things looked good until everyone realises we had no attacking intent and we lost. I really don't think I'm alone in thinking if we'd played the same formation as WHU with Aarons at LB we'd have given a much better account of ourselves. You praised the Anita thing and gave him pelters when he stopped doing it Meh. This won't go anywhere. We didn't look very good going forward today even when people were in their more conventional spots. The only time we looked threatening was that opening 20 which was with a 3. Excuse me? Ah yeah, total nonsense. Cheers. Not total nonsense at all. I vividly remember us having a discussion a few months back and you definitely criticised him for stopping the Anita dropping back thing. You pretty much said every decision McClaren made was shit and the only good thing he'd done, get Anita to drop back and pick up the ball, was something he'd abandoned. No, I said it was the only thing he'd done tactically that worked and it was correct at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This squad, despite its flaws, is better than the bottom three. We've spent most of the season in there. Manager not good enough. I don't hate him by any means, but the league table speaks for itself, he's out of his depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate him by any means, but the league table speaks for itself, he's out of his depth. Agree. He's got us playing better football but we aren't dangerous enough or high tempo enough consistently. I've got a bad feeling that he will wake up when it's too late.

biggs Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just not enough balls in the players to raise the game and if it was a top 6 side we are playing would more than likely had a better outcome but McClaren just cannot motivate the players to perform on a consistent level from one game to the next .What does Steve Black do exactly and thought he was there for the psychology side well feckin fine job he is doing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is we do have some goals in our squad in de Jong, Perez, Wijnaldum, Cisse and Mitrovic. Yet we are losing to teams who one decent striker who we fail to cope with.

Mick Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We might as well get rid of him and just stick a bucket of piss in the dugout for all McClaren does during the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Usual guff from McClaren.....harping on about commitment and attitude blah, blah, all with that stupid, vacant grin on his face - probably because he knows he is fireproof. Going nowhere with this guy and will be VERY fortunate to stay up under his management. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 My immediate reaction after reading his quotes was try laugh and cry simultaneously before trying to find a bucket to kick Ala Clarke. After finding now bucket and being advised by my wife not to use the dogs infront of the child I realised there is little to see here. He basically has to come out with that guff for several reasons. - hoping to claw back some reminder of momentum from the week before and keeping a positive attitude in the squad. Obviously doesn't think being negative is going to help the squad. Might have a point. - he knows we have dropped another bollock which will have pearce and levy rubbing their hands with glee at the ability to hike up the prices further for saido and andros. He had to play the all is well card and big up riviere. Truth is we need to stop fannying around and front up if we want the players. We are desperate despite appearances and other clubs know it. All being said. I probably read more into it and he really does believe we did well. He wasn't even back out and into the dugout for the first goal!

Eddy Chibas Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The saddest thing was he abandoned the positives on show from the West Ham game, particularly the first half performance, and did a Pardew by formulating a plan/formation to contain the opposition. In doing so Gini & Shelv were cast into relative anonymity - the most. I thought Aarons, after a lay-off, was hung out to dry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Never thought we'd see the day when a Newcastle team selection was made to deal with being scared of what Watford could do to us. They have a good work ethic but tweaking your system to try and deal with a hard work ethic is one, cowardly. Let them worry about us instead of isolating our striker who has caused far better defences than Watford's,trouble with some support. And two, it couldn't have given the team any kind of boost. What he was in effect saying to both his back 4 and the midfield was that man for man, he didn't think we could match their work ethic. Inspirational stuff. A bad day for McClaren, and with a few harder to garner points from games coming, one that should put him under pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
