geordieglory Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Most likely finish 12th unless Wigan do something miraculous against Man Utd now then, can't catch Spurs on the last day cos of the goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallihg Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 ALAN SMITH and Nicky Butt are shit. They plus Geremi and Viduka must leave this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nowt to be ashamed of lads, be nice to score, but I think we've done alright so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ah well. Had a decent go - particularly first half. Chelsea stepped it up, but we went into this very narrow formation with no out ball, no width and our discipline of the first half just went out the window.

Mike Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 If there is a positive, they didn't score the 20 goals they needed to win the league on goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 If Smith ever has to play for us again, it should be under strict orders never to come back into his own half. I wonder how many goals we have conceded this season down to him giving it away, not marking or conceding free kicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montey Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 So who suggested taking Viduka off for Smith? That's worked out well hasn't it! It's so clear that Newcastle's structure and movement are much better with Viduka up forward as a target. Yes he may be slow, and yes not all of his passes are perfect, but he is a giant anchor at the top of our formation who provides a target to get the ball forward to whilst the rest of the team runs forward to get in to position to create an attacking move. I think anyone who still argues that bringing Smith on in place of Viduka was the right move is a few matches short of a matchbox! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 They've been really good this half. We just haven't been able to keep up with their pace. That second goal was also quality football all around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxaux Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Was never a free-kick for the first, however can't excuse the marking. Lost interest since then really... Oh, and it's about time we sold Owen and bought a decent striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many goals we have conceded this season down to him giving it away, not marking or conceding free kicks. I'm not sure where he was told to play because he has been all over the pitch, but hardly up-front where we needed him. I'm thinking he may have been told to try and play behind Owen and Martins? Who knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
