Dave Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 i sometimes wonder about the manic depressive effects of being a newcastle fan - myself included. We went to Everton - a team that hasn't lost at home in this calendar year. Did anyone really expect us to win there? We didn't play well at all, yet managed to do something no one else had done in the previous 670 odd minutes (7 matches ?) - we scored a goal. Not once but TWICE. I hate the negativity Pardew brings to a game, hate the way he always tells everyone how tough a game is going to be in the run up and hate the way he seems incapable of getting a performance out of the team for a whole match. I would be as happy as anyone to see him replaced by a BETTER manager. But ffs have some sort of grasp on reality now that the fury of the match has subsided Wahey!

Mattoon Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 We only scored two because there was clear daylight, hell there was clear time zones between us. They'd already, mentally gone home. I doubt they've played an easier game and had it won before half time. It was more them than us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Our two goals were the equivalent of a batsman being caught in the deep off a bowler he's been battering round the ground all afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ffs have some sort of grasp on reality now that the fury of the match has subsided The first half was among the most embarrassing I've witnessed along with the home game against Liverpool last season. We didn't compete in one area of the pitch which takes some doing at any level. I would love anyone who watched that first half explain to me what the game plan was supposed to be.

Belfast Mags Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 That first half was a shithouse performance that a selected N-O team wouldn't have put out. As much as Everton played well, we gifted them the three goals and never competed in any area of the pitch. The game was over at half time and Everton had mentally gone home. Granted we pressed a lot better in the second half but I can't really take any comfort in that, given how utterly outclassed we were in the first, and as I say, by virtue that all the Everton players where mentally at home banging the wife/girlfriend. Very very few had us down for anything from that game, but the level of cluelessness and capitulation was practically unbelievable. And that's no shit.

Dave Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Substitute in Man City and that adequately describes two games already this season - a third of our fixtures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It was always going to be a problem playing Anita and Tioté, two players looking to do the same role. No balance at all in that midfield. Both of Anita and Tioté going deep to collect the ball leaving acres of space between our CM and attack. Can't have two players that deep leaving Sissoko as the only option most times. What a mess. You could have said the same thing about the rest of the team too, there just wasn't any cohesion between the defence, midfield and attack until later in the game. Everyone seemed to be content to do their own thing in their little part of the pitch. Cabaye coming on somehow glued the team back together, except Sissoko who just wasn't up for the game at all.
