Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Still think our biggest problem is the lack of creativity, would rather a top class number 10 brought in than a striker if I absolutely had to choose, but really we should be getting both.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 We're something like 11th in the league for chances created. A finisher is what we need. We had 4 decent chances against Swansea in the first half and took none of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a striker who we can rely on to score us goals more than anything. We don’t carry a threat up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Aye, I mean we must have created 7 or 8 really good chances against Swansea and only managed to score once. With decent finishing we should have won that so comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 4 decent chances against Swansea in the first half and took none of them. We are actually 8th or something. We are also 9th in shots, and 7th in shots on target. So yes, we need a striker.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Yep, in all of our games we’ve created chances, but just haven’t scored. Even Man Utd away, Murphy had a great chance at 1-0 but missed it. In this league you’ll be punished for it more often whereas we were able to get away with it a lot last season. Brighton, Everton, Swansea at home - we had some great chances in those games and could easily have won all of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Rafa is simultaneously trying to put pressure on and covering his arse, just like he's done before. A shame he has to do so but we've already seen how quickly everyone who isn't a Newcastle fan is willing to stick up for Ashley for some unfathomable reason. #wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Free Saturday. Today should be a busy day in terms of key conversations/negotiations for players. Here’s hoping they involve Rafa in some of the discussions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Walnuts Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 all the money he promised in the summer - all the players we've offloaded - all the the TV money the slug is making - all the millions of free advertising, down to our arse, in danger of getting relegated again and losing our manager and one loan signing with 4 days to go - unbelievable!

Im honestly starting to believe we cant compete in this division whilst this cretin is here we are hamstrung in every department. The club is ran like a championship club trying to punch way above its weight with the big boys no wonder weve been up and down like a whores drawers in the last 8 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footsoldier Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm not holding my breathe. Signing a striker and signing a striker who can do the business are two completely different things. There are only a few players available that check both boxes and I don't see us getting them. I have a feeling we'll sign someone who is a step up on joselu and gayle but the difference will be the difference between shite and absolute shite.

We had 4 decent chances against Swansea in the first half and took none of them. However, if it's Jorgensen or nowt, then he simply has to come in. Even if he managed 6 goals in the remaining games it will have been potentially worth it. Compared to Joselu with 4 in 20+ games, we literally need ANYTHING else.

madras Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 You know when Rafa said he wanted the transfer dealings done by the 20th. I think Ashley thought "I can beat that, I'll have it done by a minute passed midnight on New years day" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
