Foluwashola Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 He's at the game so that's an acceptable post, IMO. Nah. We've all seen us lose away a couple of times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It's a bit of a pisstake to folk travelling over 500 miles, like. Putting that utterly abysmal side out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 He might as well have came over and personally insulted every single fan's mother, as make the selection of Curtis Good in that side. Abysmal stuff today that i thought was far below Rafa as both a person and a coach. Up there with the disgusting cup efforts under Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It's a bit of a pisstake to folk travelling over 500 miles, like. Putting that utterly abysmal side out. Could have been different if Mitrovic took his chances in that first half...or the penalty to make it 1-1 to be fair. More worried about what Rafa does in training for set pieces.

Andy84 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Curtis Good was an absolute bizarre selection like I take it Findlay wasn't available because he looked quite promising against Birmingham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I give it 48 hours before some sort of useless newspaper releases a story saying that Ashley told Rafa to throw the cup competitions and that's why we went out today. More likely that Benitez is trying to bring about some transfer activity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It was a team selection which clearly showed he wasn't that bothered about the cup, but you would still have expected the players to have shown more than they did when they got their chance. At least that will have opened a few eyes as to the poor quality of some of our fringe players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can't compete better against Oxford Utd you do wonder why they are at a club like Newcastle in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Got it badly wrong today, but did the instruction to field such a weakened side come from Ashley? I've still got a gut feeling that promotion or not, Benitez won't be here come the start of the new season in August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 A cobbled together team that was always likely to be s***, although we should have been 1-0 up at half time and at least level in the second with the pen by the sounds of it. It's a crap feeling this and one as NUFC fans we are accostumed to in the FA cup. Just need to move on 2 massive home games this week coming and hopefully a transfer or 2 in.

Yorkie Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'd be absolutely flabbergasted if Ashley is dictating to Benitez which teams to put out. Really don't think for one minute that that is happening. A, Rafa wouldn't be here and B, Ashley doesn't get as involved as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 This does seem to be a running theme this season, we seem to concede the majority of our goals to set pieces. I think it's Mikel Antia who is in charge of set pieces Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 we were far the better team first half and should have gone in at least 2-0 up at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Lee RyderVerified account @lee_ryder 1m1 minute ago More Was clear that Rafa felt those that did get the chance today let themselves down badly.

number9shirt Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Today's result is at best utterly abysmal but let's not get carried away. Rafa was always going to & still has a lot of work to do on a club that has been run into the ground ever since ashley took over & with the last 3 managers we've had that work is going to be a long hard road.

Newcastle Fan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 As a manager one of his main jobs is to make sure the club carries itself with a certain level of dignity, today he put out a bullshit side and got smashed by a far lesser team, he has really let the fans down.
