Outfoxed by Owen Coyle and Mike Phelan in the space of 4 days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

jkz

No way he was outfoxed by Phelan man! We absolutely dominated a team that is playing a league above us away from home.

 

It's not like Hull won because of a defensive masterclass or something. They were lucky to be in the game in the 1st half. Were lucky to have a generous opposition goalkeeper and also our players being wasteful or unlucky with their finishing.

 

Mike fucking Phelan is a lucky bastard to even have the Hull job. Not even close to matching let alone outfoxing Rafa. Yes Rafa didn't get us through but it was never because of Phelan's masterclass.

He does need to get the players practice putting their chances away because we were wasteful against Blackburn too which also cost us the match.

 

English football at the high levels is unforgiving and you are more often than not punished for not taking your chances.

 

When we do put them away, like in the Leeds game, it all goes to plan. If we find our feet and scoring habits against Forest we'll win easy but if we don't......:S

If nothing else, we've got the taste for a cup run back anyway. That should be the norm not a big occasion. Think that was only the 3rd Quarter Final since the Souness cup runs in 2005? 3 out of 25 cup competitions we've entered where it only takes 3 games to get to that stage is pathetic.

There was one moment near the end, where Lascelles was making runs to join in the attack where you could hear Rafa shouting, 'Jamaal no. Jamaal no!'. Clark did similar seconds later and we were nearly sucker punched by Snodgrass. Rafa definitely knows like.

Neesy :lol:

 

Oh and for people complaining that there are 'fickle idiots' on here, complaining about Rafa.  I only see Neesy kneejerking all over the place?  I think many others are pointing out how risky it was to play Sels and how despite our dominance, we don't create a great deal. 

 

On the creativity thing.  I'm not sure how much of that is Rafa's fault.  I think that will improve if we were to get back up and invest in another attacking midfielder/winger or two.  Gouffran, Diame and Perez aren't exactly chipping in with loads of assists.

 

I love Rafa.  But nobody is beyond criticism and if it is fair and balanced.  I don't see the problem?  If it is saying "His use of subs is probably the worst I've seen from a Newcastle manager."  Then yeah, fire away  :lol:

:thup: Dinho

 

Fucking sick of people just pointing blame every single damn time, its football, people make mistakes and are punished for it. Get on with it. In Rafa we have one of the best managers in the world. Enjoy it and lets focus on the real task at hand - Friday's match

Asked whether it was a missed opportunity, Newcastle boss Benitez told Sky Sports: "Clearly. The way we played, the situation we had, against 10 players, and 1-0 up, we have to manage better.

 

"I am really pleased with the performance and the attitude for a long time, but disappointed because we didn't manage the situation properly with the advantage."

 

"The way we played away at a Premier League team means we are strong enough to manage the situation, but we need experience to ensure we do it in the right way," he said.

 

"It's something you can learn from in situations like this and you will improve from these kinds of goals, mistakes and penalties that give you something to learn."

His use of subs is probably the worst I've seen from a Newcastle manager.

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: I replied to this yesterday but still can't believe it. Did one of your brain cells fall out and just leave one in there?

 

Would be better if he just told us what is really bothering him.
