KaKa Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 If Mitrovic doesn't start the next game man, I'll be furious. Not as furious as you'll be when he's sent off after 7 minutes Rubbish. We need his enthusiasm and energy at the start of the games. I guarantee you he does nothing of the sort if he starts. He's coming on all hyped up trying to get into the game man. Yeah, think it does him no favours to only have ten minutes to be the hero papa Mitrovic deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Pros: Didn't get absolutely fisted Looked a little more solid from defensive set-pieces Cons: Started slowly Struggled to create chances Struggled to keep the ball Poor marking and communications at the back Attacking set-pieces a total waste of time Midfield completely outplayed Obertan plays another huge chunk of a game We now have no RB for a trip to Old Trafford Even that Pro in bold is more down to Swansea easing off and Montero being subbed.

Lenny Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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. Southampton game we showed signs, today we just looked totally outclassed. McClaren needs time but taking off Cisse and having no strikers when chasing a game is a bit daft. All today has underlined for me is how shocking our defence is, again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 4 - Newcastle only managed four total shots vs Swansea; the fewest they have had in the PL since March 2012 against Arsenal (4). Meek. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
