DJ_NUFC Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 That 5-1 Spurs game still baffles me, not quite sure how that happened Not at all. The team always had talent, enough to stay up. The West Ham game and a couple of other performances under McClaren clearly showed. He was just fucking too shit to stick with a winning formula, and approached every away game as if we're playing at the Nou Camp. Shitting bricks. His away record at his former clubs seemed to back this theory that he lacked the balls to stick to a winning team as he always thought about stopping the opposition first, and always unsuccessfully.

Dr.Spaceman Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 That 5-1 Spurs game still baffles me, not quite sure how that happened Because we had a few very decent but ultimately spineless mercenaries in our team who turned up when they felt like turning up?

HaydnNUFC Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Should've got a point at Norwich as well. Handball in the build-up to their winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but 5-1 at home to the 2nd best team in the league (granted they were in poor form come that game) was just completely mental. Even if someone had said that we would play to our full potential and Spurs would have an off day, I'd never have said we'd have beaten them by a 4 goal margin Hopefully plenty more games like that to come if we go up this year.

BlackandWhite Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Seen a few people talking about him being a defensive minded coach I wouldn't put it that way. Tony Pulis is a defenive minded coach, Rafa is a perfctionist he looks to get everything from every part of the pitch and that starts with the defence but he always demands we be very good going foward and not just sit back and wait for a lucky opportunity. Our GD alone shows that he is not just defence orientated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The only thing he got wrong last year was trusting Cisse with a spot in the team. Bringing Taylor in for Lascelles after the derby was the killer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget Louise Taylor's match report of the incident The left-back delivered an incisive dead ball but Newcastle could surely have done better than permit Agüero a free header. Barely believing his luck, the striker – who was a yard or two offside – duly registered his 100th Premier League goal for City and the 22nd of the season.

John P Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 All those teams we played last season couldn't believe their luck. They often gave Cisse the freedom of St James', but he was always flagged offside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle's post or bar has been hit 10 times - which is a greater number than the bottom five teams on this list combined - but their automatic-promotion spot is so comfortable currently that it seems difficult to imagine that their position would be vastly different if the luck had not gone their way.
