Wallace Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/neil-camerons-derby-verdict-everyone-6659184 Neil Cameron's Derby Verdict: Everyone to blame for Newcastle's defeat to Sunderland 2 Feb 2014 11:07 The men in charge of Newcastle United looked bemused yesterday. It's hard to see why as Neil Cameron explains Lee Charnley, the man partly responsible for Newcastle United’s signings, wore a bemused look at the end of yesterday’s game. It was if the club secretary, the man who runs things on a daily basis, had no clue as to why his team were lucky to get zero in a 3-0 defeat by their most bitter rivals . But surely this is an easy one to figure out. Any Premier League side who has few young players coming through and goes two transfers windows without signing a permanent player, and therefore not spending any money, is asking for trouble. And trouble called in at St James’ Park yesterday with a Big T dressed in red and white, or actually yellow in his case. Running on to the park is idiotic, but you can understand the fans’ frustration. It is hard to believe that in many ways this is actually, sort of, a good season. But this is Newcastle United. Whenever things start to go well, it’s as if they automatically regress into chaos. Selling Yohan Cabaye to PSG is understandable. Not even really trying to get in a replacement, or at least having one lined up, is unforgivable. Last summer, one other striker and a midfielder should have been bought in. But the trio of Mike Ashley, Joe Kinnear and Charnley thought the squad didn’t need that, and a mostly good season seemed to back up that decision – certainly in their eyes. Then Loic Remy gets himself suspended, leaving Alan Pardew with Shola Ameobi , who hasn’t scored a league goal in over a year, Papiss Cisse , who the club want rid of, and new guy Luuk De Jong , who has had the grand total of one day’s training with his new team-mates. This is the reason why Newcastle lost yesterday. They were always only a couple of absentees away from struggling. Newcastle’s season is now officially over. It is February 2. I will defend Alan Pardew to a point. He doesn’t have much of a say in who stays or goes. So you can’t blame him for everything. His toeing of the party line is also understandable, although his first interview after he gets sacked is going to be interesting. And there are more than a few Newcastle supporters who would welcome a change of manager now. Not in the summer, but now. That’s three years Pardew has had. There has been more good than bad. But one derby win out of seven is awful. His record in the cup is deplorable. Comments such as “that win was for Mike” after the win against Chelsea don’t do him any favours in the eyes of the Toon Army. While feelings are always raw after a derby defeat, it’s hard to escape the feeling that Pardew is under real pressure. In his defence, the biggest problem is the men at the top and what they think is good enough for the football club. But the manager himself needs to take stock. I mean – what exactly was yesterday’s grand plan? Punt the ball to Shola and hope something happens. Or give it to Hatem Ben Arfa and hope he does something. And before we go on, Ben Arfa is in danger of throwing away what should be a wonderful career. He tried a run early on, it came to nothing, and it was almost as if he decided there and then not to bother any more. Steven Taylor is another who is surely fighting to save his Newcastle career. Running up to the fans and pumping your fist before a game might get something of a cheer, but they would much prefer him to win headers and not allow Jack Colback a clear shot on his left foot. Not good enough. Again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Each of those players should be ashamed of themselves but we know they won't be - if they gave a shit they wouldn't keep doing this to us. It's the point of no return for all of them now, I'll never forgive them. They can fuck off, as far as I'm concerned. The defending was embarassing and the predictability of our attacks was cringeworthy. Second half saw a slight improvement but the damage was already done. Particularly bad was Santon, Shola and Williamson but they were almost all 1 out of 10 performances (at best). Hatem was out best player. My highlight was the pitch invaders, at least the first one tried to make a point. It just hurts to know that they'll always let us down like this.

Sifu Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Once again, we did not look at all fired up for a Tyne-Wear Derby and that is again one of the factors on why we lost yesterday - the mackems, to their credit, wanted it a lot more than us. I simply can't fathom why Pardew can't motivate our players for this occasion, he's been here for 3 years + now and last season's 3-0 loss and this season's 2-1 loss hurt a lot of people so surely he can see the importance of this fixture? Guess it doesn't help that his negativity knows no bounds really, why he decided to go with the long ball tactic in the first half is simply a mystery and quite frankly idiotic. Bottling twat.

I think his attempts at motivation are the problem tbh. His man-management skills (something which I commended him for the season we finished 5th) have greatly declined too and that is yet another factor imo. Guess his own ego gets in the way as well. He also pretty much keeps the wrong players happy and risks alienates other players (ie. the Taylor/Yanga-Mbiwa selection issue). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to resent him and Carver. Total gash the pair of em not helped by stone who probably told them at half time - "dont worry guys, I've checked the stats and we've kicked it the longest. just need to carry it on the second half and we're bound to get a shot on target."
