Novocastrian Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I am maybe going to spark some controversy perhaps but think we're still playing substantially better than we have, it's just stupid that this performance comes against Man City and not against the variety of beatable teams we've had till now. Losing to Man City is annoying but we've not played terrible, Santon is having a total mare though There's plenty of perspiration, just no inspiration. We are just outclassed, out passed and out thought all over the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaehyun Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 How the fuck did we manage to be in a position where we challenged for Champions League football on the final day of the season six months ago with basically the same team? We didn't. We had Ben Arfa and Cabaye on the field and Ba wasn't being a selfish fuck and was willing to play on the left and play for the team. Right now we have Ba and Cisse forming two of our top three and they don't pass to each other but rather shoot on sight. Jonas completes the three and he can't pass/dribble/cross.

James Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Perch should be starting central midfield every game. With the others playing for the right to play with Perch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thought we did ok tbh. Do not see the point of Jonas though. Get Marveaux on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Tossers. Really pig sick of Pardew trying the same, outdated, ineffective dross. I sick of Pardew. All he has is hoof it long and hope something comes of it, he will never make a sub until the 85th minute when a game has already been lost. He doesn't realise shit performances, I mean how long did it take for him to drop Obertan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 From the games i've seen this season, i think overall this is the best we've looked all season, high tempo, movement and quick passing. 2-0 feels unfair imo. Very positive play from us. Feels weird actually, i shouldn't be happy at 0-2 down but i feel positive somehow because of our display overall. I love Anita!

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The Bet365 advert. Man City to win 5-0 - 20/1. i'd stick a ton on that in a heartbeat but fear it would be 6 before i managed to set the account up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Tbh we haven't been that bad, going forward we are laking that final ball, it's just defensively we've been weak. Bring Marv on for either Ba or Cisse, both of them on the pitch just doesn't work. Tiote and Colo have been our best players so far IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The gulf in class between both sides is showing through. Whilst we have done OK going forwards (through being very direct), Citeh look capable of scoring every time they go forward - passing and movement is just too quick and intricate. If Citeh allow us back into this, they want shooting! For us, it's a lack of depth and quality once again and it's not as if we have any options on the bench. This is what happens when the owner does not invest, when he should have. Facing a relegation battle, as it stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 We're ok when attacking but when they get the ball, its humiliating. A pathetic defensive performance has cost us another match. Sick of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 We'll just have to keep the score down as goal difference is all important in a relegation scrap. We are in one make no mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Newcastle need to score at least twice if they're to get anything out of this game. http://stateofthegame.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/BBC-ONE-Match-of-the-Day-08-13-22-30-04.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What angers me is we could have been in with a chance in this game but for Pardew making the same mistakes time and time again. What will it take for the stubborn ass to learn?

Shak Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think we've tried to have a go at them, so that's some sort of positive. The problem is that we're all over the shop as a result, City could easily have had four in that half. Can't believe we're legitimately in a relegation battle this year.

toonpete1892 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Shiteh playing some lovely football but so are we. The long balls are ugly but they are causing issues and when we get Simpson/Santon forward, the movement is promising. Probably the best I've seen us play this season. Its just annoying that two moment of magic have put us behind. Having Willo and Simpson booked is going to really cost us in the 2nd half. Personally thought we could have worked with 1-0, 2-0 not so much. Despite probably going onto to lose this, lets keep our heads held high as this is a huge improvement on a month ago. Why couldn't we have had these games in November and played the 'weaker' teams now we're back to the form were showing last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you, but the attack hasn't been a positive IMO. Attacking that leaves you that vulnerable, and requires your centre-halfs to do laps up and down the pitch for 45 minute straight isn't a positive.
