Stoke City 2 - 1 Newcastle United - 28/11/12 - post-match reaction from page 39


Recommended Posts

Gutted, we didn't deserve to come away with nothing tonight.  They hardly created anything until we shot ourselves in the foot.  I thought Cisse and Anita played really well and can’t understand why those two were brought off.  For the first time in weeks we were competitive in midfield which I think we all expected when we put a 3rd central midfielder in that area of the pitch.  Cisse scored from one of the few genuine chances he’s had all season and has shown that he’ll get goals if we create chances.

This is painful.

Even when you're playing like shit, when half your squad is out and the other half is underperforming, when everything that could go wrong goes wrong...you still pick a random win every now and then. If you don't, that's relegation stuff.

Kenwyne Jones shouldn't have even been on the pitch to set up the second like. Dirty fucking Mackem cunt elbowed Perch square in the face and didn't even get as much as a warning from Webb.

Did we play a bit better than the last few games or am I just desperately looking for a postive?

 

We did, we wouldn't have lost the three games before tonight if we'd put as much effort in as we have against Stoke, I just hope the players realise that and take something from the game.

Is there a worst Center half than Williamson in the Premiership? I can't think of one.  I'd rather Shola played at CB at least he'd win a header.

 

This useless c*** is rapidly catching up with Graham Oates and Glenn Keeley as being  the worst central defender ever to play for Newcastle.

We play worse football then Stoke at the moment! An absolute joke we are at the moment. Pardew has got to go. I can't think of a team who passes a ball worse then us, and there is no movement from any player. the tempo og our game is way to slow. Every goal kick, free kick and throw inn take a fucking age.

 

I realise people are pissed off, but lets not get silly.  Stoke spent the entire second half launching the ball aimlessly into the area at every single opportunity, even from throws.

 

Ermmm...

 

Did I say we didn't hit any aimless balls?, we did, just less than Stoke.  Even their throws were all launched into the area.

 

Anyway I'm off, think I'll come back when people calm down and gain some perspective.

If we win on Monday night, I'll take tonight as a sign of improvement. Still nowhere near what we should be but we'll get enough wins and draws to finish comfortable mid-table playing like that. Not acceptable though but hopefully something to build on.

Just about to start on FSC. Should I even watch this s***?

 

No. It's more infuriating than the Bills and the co-commentator was so far up Stoke's arse he might as well have been in the dugout with the rest of Pulis' detestable cretins.

Anton Ferdinand might give him a run for his money

 

Dean Ashton pulling a shopping trolley would give him a run for his money.

That's how Stoke play though, it's what they are good at. It's why everyone hates playing against them, as long as you're just one goal ahead it doesn't matter how well you play or how well you contain them, they are always just a launch away from an equaliser.

yes we did despite what a load of kneejerkers on here will tell you.

 

Pretty much everyone has acknowledged that. Still lost.

deserved at least a point thought we were pretty comfortable for 80 mins then the one player you think you can rely on, Colo goes walkabout and we lose 2 goals.  Dragged out into no mans land instead on being in position in line with the post and no idea where he was for the 2nd when Jerome just ran off him to get onto Jones's knockdown.  (i might change my opinion after watching MOTD as only seen it on a stream that wasn't brillant)

Gutted at the minute as really thought we would hold on to an unlikely win although in saying that you can't miss one on ones and expect to win,  i would expect strikers of Ba and Cisses quality to both score when running clear and into the box with only keeper to beat, especially as the defenders were never going to catch them.

I realise people are p*ssed off, but lets not get silly.  We certainly didn't play good Football, but Stoke spent the entire second half launching the ball aimlessly into the area at every single opportunity, even from throws.  Our shocking defending rewarded them for it though :(

 

It was us who were hoofing the ball at every given oppertunity. to our luck, Cisse and Ba got 2 of our 3 good chances from a hoofball. I'ts just so frustrating to watch 90 min. of anti football and lose every week. When we lost to swansea, I wasn't as frustrated, because, at least we tried to play a passing game. That loss wasn't as hard to take, because the performance wasn't as shit.

I know, I only disagreed with someone who said that we play worse Football than Stoke at the moment.

Must admit, I have preached patience, but I have none left and frankly fed up with the directionless crap we are producing.

Remember - we have been losing to the bread and butter teams. NOT the quality.

Got to keep in mind that we were 10mins from everyone being pretty delighted with the result and us sitting in 11th right now. The performance was okay up to that point too.

 

Doesn't change the fact that we're still losing games, but it's certainly a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Worrying thing is if any confidence we built up evaporated at the end.
