Dokko Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Lack of investment. Magic not being real. Players having their heads turned. Senegal. Has he blamed Senegal? Quite happy to add it, just can't remember him saying as such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to add it, just can't remember him saying as such. "We kept being promised that the decision would be overturned and that Senegal were going to let Papiss (Cisse) play. We kept waiting and waiting and it was about 1.40pm when we finally found out that wouldn't happen. So it did affect our preparation and him missing today was a blow to us. We didn't do anything wrong and he should have played." From the Swansea game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mentioned magic as a way to win games a few times “I want to win on Thursday and on Sunday. And I have got to come up with some sort of magical plan which makes me do that.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 @OptaJoe 10.1% - Only QPR & Aston Villa have converted a lower proportion of their chances than Newcastle in the PL this season. Spurn. Interesting. Especially as IMO, I think we have very clinical finishers compared to most. My theories are that: a) our chances are not very good chances - because of poor attacking strategy/movement b) our chances are snatched at, because even groat poachers will slice and snatch at chances when they are irregular, or the product of defensive accidents rather than anticipated attacking movements Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We produce half-chances through our aimless, rigid style of play. Chances that are difficult to put away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Notting Hill Carnival - "Today was a little bit unfair on us. We couldn’t move the game to Sunday because of the Notting Hill Carnival. It would have been good to have that extra day’s rest. Also found this after the Man Utd game..."But at the end of the day it's not a bit of magic, it's two set plays - something we pride ourselves on and something we are good at."
