Swansea City 2-0 Newcastle United - 15/08/15 - Post-match reaction from page 27

Fistpump starts next week?

[Yorkie]

Wasn't much good about that, but I'm not gonna jump down any of their throats - Janmaat aside, who single-handedly prohibited us from getting anything from the game. McClaren might've thrown Mitrovic on sooner but the game was long gone and I'd no problem with the 4-1-4-0 in principle. We kept it relatively tight where in seasons gone by we'd have been absolutely trounced. Meh, onto the next one.

[KaKa]

Hope they fine Janmaat. What a moron.

[Kasper]

Mitrovic already getting targeted by commentators and refs. He's going to get few extremely soft red cards in the future just for his reputation.

 

He's going to get red cards regardless of reputation. I think the only thing saving him again today is that there's so little time left.

 

Start him and he'd be off by 20 mins.

 

He's been fouled twice today and somehow he got talked to. :lol:

 

He jumped in to the challenge and landed with his studs on the guys feet ffs

 

And that tells you enough about him that he gets talked to when fouled. It's not reputation, its behaviour.

 

Needs to get a grip and fast.

 

Are you blind or did you have the TV off? He never touched the guy. He was trying to protect the ball with his body, as Pelle was doing all game against Everton.

 

Erm what, he jumped and landed on the Swansea player's foot. It couldn't have been any clearer

 

I get it he tried to shield the ball but you just don't jump in like that when you do...

[Disco]

He'll have too unless Anita plays RB (which he won't)

[Frazzle]

4 - Newcastle only managed four total shots vs Swansea; the fewest they have had in the PL since March 2012 against Arsenal (4). Meek.

Weird isn't it, I saw a full blooded, badly attempted challenge. He hit the floor, not the player.

Not surprising with what happened.

[BottledDog]

Well, that was utterly rotten from beginning to end. Absolutely nothing to be positive from the game.

 

I'm prepared to be patient with McClaren but I'd preferably like to be able to take something out of each game to suggest we're making progress.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I thought we might have got a goal just before Janmaat went off.

 

FWIW I think the two deeper midfielders and Obertan are more of an issue than the back four itself.

[chicago_shearer]

I'll save the discouragement for now, but I'd like to see some evidence that Steve is recognizing the failings and adjusting. Get some new defenders in and change that lineup next week.

[Zero]

The fact that Ayew easily out jumped Colo means we will lose ALL headers inside our box this season.  I am serious, I'd rather play Willo with Chancel.  Colo is completely finished as a player.

[ujpest doza]

Absolutely woeful.

 

Why give mitrovic 8 minutes and play without a forward at all for so long. very negative.

 

Very few positives that I could see, other than possibly Anita and Sissoko till he got injured.

 

Wijnaldum anonymous and knocked off the ball very easily, Colocinni very poor, Janmaat poor and also idiotic for the 2nd foul where there was no danger.

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Wijnaldum's going to be better once he drops deeper IMO, he doesn't look a number ten at all.

[Mole_Toonfan]

Wijnaldum's going to be better once he drops deeper IMO, he doesn't look a number ten at all.

 

Because he isn't, it's clear as fucking day tbh.

Have to think it's gonna be Mbemba-Taylor-Coloccini-Haidara.

[Yorkie]

Absolutely woeful.

It's undoubtedly negative but I honestly can't see what's so hard to grasp. I know we're all afflicted by the Pardew regime, and any hint of outright negativity (like today) is bound to get the pitchforks out - but you've got to look at things on an individual basis. Pardew's gone, this is a new manager, uninspiring though he is. Taking it as an individual case, the game was more than likely lost and he endeavored to make sure it stayed at two.

Fine not playing two up top, but not even playing 1 is just put the white flag up time.

Taylor will play RB.

Another option would be to drop Dummett at LB and see if Haidara can shift over to the right.

My bet though would be Taylor at RB.

Aye, it was. I'm saying I don't see a massive deal wrong with that - not today.

I disagree, there was loads of time left when we went 4-5-0 and I'd far rather we at least had a go in that time than just try and keep the score down.

It's obviously going to be Mbemba, man.

I can absolutely see the logic here based on today.
