AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Yep, this is why chat about his subs is pretty pointless, he knows what we need and what we don't. We're about 9th in the league in chances created, we just don't score any of them. Bringing on Murphy instead of Joselu or whatever is not going to change that. Sadly nothing else will change it either, given that he won't be allowed to sign a quality striker. Just need enough 1-0 and 0-0 to stay up I guess.

xLiaaamx Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Not using your third sub to bring on a quick winger for a slow one against tiring legs seems like it would still matter like. You can't just boil a game down to stats completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 As it stands, we're on course to stay up. Considering we've got a championship squad it's a pretty amazing achievement tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you work that out Well as it stands if we continue to get points per game as we are and others do likewise then we'll not get relegated.

It's quite funny/sad that we're creating all these chances with the likes of Ritchie, Atsu, Murphy, Ayoze, Shelvey, Merino etc. Not really bursting at the seams with top quality either...fucking hell, just 1 bloody PL capable striker and to Dave's point, we'd not be talking about ANY of this.

Peder75 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That's the thing. We are one decent striker away from a top 10 position. We have five draws, and eight games where we lost with a single goal, and there are plenty of those games where we created enough chances to score that goal we needed. Almost every extra goal for us would be a point giving goal. Compare that to under Pardew where an extra goal in most cases would just be a consolation goal.

How do you work that out We've got 23 points from 23 games, we're on course to get 38 points which would likely keep us up. Now roll your eyes back into your head.

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 As has been said, I don't even think we'll need as many as 38, it'll be nearer 35 imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely, Rafa will keep all our games competitive but we just lack that extra edge to turn them into wins. And we've made some individual defensive errors that have cost us. When I watch us, we don't look like a relegation team, we just lack that bit extra to be comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Aye, I was just saying to a lad at work yesterday that we're the frustrating combination of the best organised but worst quality Newcastle team I think I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So grateful we've got this guy fighting our corner, looking after our interests at the club. So many weaker managers would've been steamrollered by the fat cunt by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 In some sick way, I hope he does walk. Just so I can finally stop getting excited by false dawns and I can fully swear off Mike Ashley FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Definitely feels like the beginning of the end. Bit dramatic obviously but this shite today will set off the chain of events that means he’ll inevitably walk away. I fucking despise this club at times.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Will surely walk away when we don't sign anyone this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
