WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 We're not losing - that's the positive. Got to believe that Rafa will tell them to properly go for it in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 WTF is going on. Same thing that was going on last weekend in the first half. We're shit and playing like it. Once again relying on a bit of magic from somewhere to beat a terrible side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 A rather important 45 minutes coming up. Might need Townsend to do something magical again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 The more i care, the more irritating Cisse, Sissoko and Wijnaldum get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Come on Newcastle, let's smash them, or only just be the better side and scrape the result, either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Solid defensively but almost nothing going forward. No energy or drive. Worried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Everybody else doing their job but us. They're all thinking the same too, 08/09 was like that with us. It was like Hull were determined to bale us out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchie Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hopefully Villa will run out of steam soon as they've got nowt to play for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hate to say it but this is a Pardew performance. Villa couldn't be more down on their luck, and our stand-off tactics have empowered them. They had no foothold in this game until we carved one out of our arse for them to stick their foot in. Our team has neither a striker who can hold the ball up nor a midfielder with the touch or vision to find space between Villa's defence and midfield and receive the ball. It's very much a defend well and hope for a Villa mistake approach. We have both ffs, on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only hope Benitez knows the side is still mentally weak after years of being losers, and doesn't want the side to have to defend a 1-0 lead so early Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Watching Rafa those last 5m it seemed to me he's getting exactly what he's asked for. Doesn't look at all flustered or irate. So, very different second half coming up? We've been compact and not done much in all of the first halves under him so as far as I remember. Particularly away from home, that's his plan.

Big Geordie Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Yup - a bit too cautious today from us so far - trying to draw Villa onto us and then hit them on the counter. We need to be more positive 2nd half. Once again, Wijunaldum has offered fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I think Rafa will tell certain players they have 10 minutes to give it everything and then he'll make changes if he doesn't from the start of the 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what does that achieve when we could be pushing for the goals we need? I don't understand how the caution benefits us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Fuck me we are terrible. Cisse is still Uber poo. He is the new ameobi. Waltzing around the pitch. Wijnaldum not been horrific but hardly adding much. Perez and Mitro are a must. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
