Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United - 2/1/16 - Post match reaction from page 26


Recommended Posts

It's not luck, our attack isn't good enough to capitalise. They deserved it as they actually scored the chance they got, we were very very very wasteful. Also fairly sure we will not play like that against a team we should beat. Our players can turn it on when it doesn't matter against opposition who they expect to beat us but panic in the important ones.

Did this earlier in the year, noble defeat to Arsenal, 0 points, pathetic captitilation to nothing teams, 0 points, noble effort against Chelsea, 1 point, good effort against Man U, 1 point, twatted by Palace, 0 points. Good way to go down while looking good doing it.

At least not winning this wont mean Mike Ashley doesn't feel he needs to invest. Then again he will probably think "good performance, we'll stay up".

 

Dummett HAS to go, If we actually had someone attacking on the left, we would be so more dangerous.

Desperately unlucky today, as well as some good keeping from Czech and they get the lucky scrambled goalmouth goal. sickening.

Dummet stood out like a sore thumb today at his inability to do anything but pass the ball backwards, never once got up the wing to back up ayoze, offers zero going forward and is limited defensively.

liked tiote in the middle, but Colback has to keep his position more, they kept occupying the same spaces when we were in possession.

Janmaat was outstanding today.

Rest were decent and right spirit.

We need a goalscorer, Mitro looks good but just isn't putting the thing where it needs to go...

This was one of the three template NUFC performances - play surprisingly well and still lose to a silly goal. So fucking predictable.

 

McClaren can bleat on about playing well, creating chances but it means absolutely nothing. It's another defeat.

Pleased with the postal service today. Put in an amazing effort. Tough to criticize the mailman although he left the package a half mile away on the roadside near all the other abandoned boxes, because he worked ever so hard. I'm sure eventually packages will find their way to where they belong if he keeps doing what he's doing. Unlucky not to get it there today.

Really unlucky not to get something but these missed chances are really starting to look like relegating us. I'd at this point panic buy Austin because we're desperate for someone clinical.

I'm not going to say that this results puts us down, because a point you get from Arsenal away has to be classed as a bonus point and this is a game we would expect to lose.

 

I'm encouraged by our performance for most of the match, we created chances, we dominated midfield, overall we were the better team on the day. What is discouraging though is our ability to put away chances, it's like everyone is nervous when a chance presents itself to them.

If we play like we have done for the majority of this game across the remainder of the season then we will stay up, however we always put on a performance against the big teams and not the teams around us, we need to change that. Thauvin needs to start, he offers us so much going forward, Wijnaldum was excellent in the centre today, we can even accomadate him without losing 1 of our forwards.

We played well and it was nice to see some of the football we put together at times but we lost one-nowt, again. We have to start putting away chances otherwise we'll be cut adrift completely. And as for the substitutions, why oh why wait until the opposition force your hand with a goal? Take the initiative and make the change to keep the game in our control, you ginger gimp. Pardewesque.

Looked a lot better with Tiote in for Anita. Probably the first time we've had a grip on the midfield all season. Shame we haven't got a striker worthy of the name otherwise we would have got something out of that.

Yip, he's stronger and seems to get about more without having to make so many last ditch blocks and tackles.

I just don't understand this unlucky shit. We don't score goals, we don't deserve a thing from these games.

 

It's utter shit. The only goal we have scored in the last 3 games was against the worst side in the division and we still didn't win.
