bulivye Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 We won and deserved to, but that was still a poor sloppy performance. So much needs done next season, a huge overhaul in every department. Yup. Despite being at home against a team who didn't really care about winning we only had 41% possession despite it being an absolute must-win game. We had 17 shots but only 4 on target and we misplaced passes all over the shop (but glaringly messed up loads of passes in the final 3rd). The players again looked like they either didn't know, or didn't like their team-mates, constantly ignoring passes when players were in better positions, fuck knows what they do in training. I'm glad we stayed up but if we'd have been playing against a team who actually had something to play for I suspect we'd have been massacred. We owe more to the managerial abilities of Agent Bruce than the coaching of the semi-sentient lasagne that's been running our lot since January.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Nah, think Colback's decision to run left was fine. He's just not quick enough to pull it off He doesn't run left, he tires and drops off and decides to take position in the only place in the Hull half where he's entirely useless The whole thing was a fuck up tbh, it's just creased me after what Wullie said about him actively hiding behind the opposition's players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 NEWCASTLE, England -- How fitting it was that Jonas Gutierrez lashed home the crucial second goal that put beyond doubt the protection of Newcastle United's Premier League status. In a year without too many positives for the club, his astonishing fight against testicular cancer has been an inspiration. On a day when a hero was needed, he was, in retrospect, the obvious candidate. The Argentine's strike sealed the win, but there was something else on display at St. James' Park: A glimpse of what life could be like for Newcastle if they were, well, united. This match began after a pledge of commitment from the owner, it opened with a period of coruscating effort, it was won with a thumping header and it was celebrated by supporters who were delighted, and rather surprised, with the work rate of their players, most notably in the cases of Gutierrez and the outstanding Vurnon Anita. This was far from a perfect performance, as the bulk of the first half was spent on the back foot, and it's clear that Newcastle are not a particularly good team, but at the end of a long and bleak season, it was a least a glimmer of hope. There is a lesson here. The question is whether or not anyone at the club is prepared to listen. Owner Mike Ashley, in a rare interview before kickoff, said that he took responsibility for Newcastle's position, asserted his commitment to the club and announced that he had no intention of selling up, at least not until he had won something. But in order to achieve that aim, much will have to change, and from the supporters' reaction on the final whistle, there isn't much faith of that here. As John Carver and his players celebrated, a chant went up from the Gallowgate End: "Get out of our club!" Ashley had said earlier that his role was to maximise "financial resources" for the club. That's a little hard to accept when the stadium is dripping with advertisements for his own sportswear company, when the squad is so thin and when there are tens of millions sitting quietly in the vaults. The truth is that Ashley gambled in January by opting to replace former manager Alan Pardew with Carver, the cheapest option. He won, but by the slimmest of margins, and he might not be so fortunate next time. There are reasons why he is arguably the most reviled owner in the Premier League. Two and a half hours before the game, the mood was bleak around the stadium. One supporter announced that there was no point in his being interviewed as there was nothing he could say about the present regime that was fit to print. And then he went on to prove his point. Another, when asked who was to blame for this mess, simply took a deep breath and unloaded. "How long have you got? It starts at the top with Mike Ashley and his lack of ambition, then you've got a manager who's completely out of his depth in John Carver and then the players, who just don't care." "This club," said one veteran of the Gallowgate End, shaking his head. "Every five years or so it seems like everything's going all right and then it all blows up in your face. But the city feeds off the club. When this club was doing well, under Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson, the city was vibrant. Now the city is just ... sad." Will you be back next season if you go down? "Aye, probably," he said with a laugh. "Forever the optimist." But there aren't many who can laugh. When Ashley attempted to slip quietly through the stadium before the game, one supporter stared at him in derision. "I hope you're happy with yourself," he shouted. For the team, at least, there is a little more forgiveness. The players were welcomed onto the pitch for the warm-up with positivity and support. Carver made three changes to the team that lost to an already-relegated Queens Park Rangers last weekend, bringing in Anita, Papiss Cisse and Mike Williamson, the man he accused of getting himself sent off deliberately against Leicester earlier this month. In that game, Newcastle managed to concede after 38 seconds. On Sunday, it was very nearly the other way around. After Moussa Sissoko and Cisse linked up from the right flank, the ball fell to Emmanuel Riviere and the French striker shot just wide. If anyone on the Newcastle team was looking for excuses, it swiftly became clear that they wouldn't be able to blame the supporters; St. James Park was as loud and positive as it's been all season. When the time came to applaud the memory of Newcastle fans John Alder and Liam Sweeney, killed in the MH17 disaster in Ukraine last year, the noise reached an almost ear-shattering crescendo. But after the hosts' impressive start, West Ham began to exert some authority on the game. The news that Hull had had two goals disallowed caused a nervous rumble to roll around the stadium, which was reflected by the home players who promptly lost their composure for a moment. The Hammers' Stewart Downing broke in on goal, but was denied by a smart stop from Tim Krul. Newcastle were subsequently forced back toward their own penalty area until half-time offered a little respite. After the break, Newcastle again struggled to keep possession, but moments after news that David Meyler missed a great chance for Hull, Riviere did the same. Daryl Janmaat left Aaron Cresswell standing and rolled the ball into the six-yard box. Any decent contact would have resulted in a goal, but Riviere did not provide it, and the ball drifted wide. At the time, it had the potential to be the costliest miss in many years, but thanks to the efforts of Sissoko and Gutierrez, Newcastle were saved. The Frenchman, whose effort levels have been found wanting of late, rose above two West Ham defenders to power a header home. St. James' Park erupted with jubilation, and as the players raced to the dugout to celebrate, Carver was torn between wild celebration and an obligation to remind his players that it was not over yet. West Ham, their obligation to compete drifting past its expiration date, softened and Newcastle had chances to double their advantage, none more extraordinary than when Anita led a four-man cavalry charge toward an isolated Adrian in the away goal, only to attempt to take the ball around him and fail miserably. But then it was Gutierrez's moment to shine, and his shot triggered celebrations that haven't been seen at St. James' Park for many years. Gutierrez's name was sung at a volume that threatened to dislodge the wax in your ears, and for a moment -- just a brief moment -- the supporters remembered what it was like to believe in heroes again. And then it passed and the protests began again in the stands even as the jubilant players disappeared down the tunnel. If Ashley learns from his mistakes, if he appoints an experienced manager and if he offers more than he has offered so far, perhaps there is a way back. But no one in Newcastle really believes that he will. http://www.espnfc.us/blog/the-match/60/post/2462255/jonas-gutierrez-inspires-newcastle-stay-in-premier-league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 There was a moment during the game where him and Carver were shouting at each other and Anita went over to Riv rubbing his shoulders and geeing him up. Then at full-time when Carver went onto the pitch shaking the players' hands Rivière sort of shrugged his shoulders on the way past as he shook his hands. Clearly wasn't happy.
