TRon Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Rafa takes some blame for this today, the tactics and formation are shocking You do know you cant criticise Rafa at all so please refrain In a hypothetical world where Rafa is gone, who would you have here (working under the same constraints)? Howe, Silva, Puel for starters. What would they do better with this shower of shite? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The whole team looks like they are suffering from depression. Absolutely no energy about them. They look like they don't even enjoy playing the game at this point. It's the biggest reason we need some new players. Just people that are excited to play, because they haven't been at their previous club, or because they are excited to be in the prem league. Apathy has set into the players now also. It stinks.

toontownman Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 How many times this season have we been let down by poor finishing? We could already have been close to safe if they had let rafa get the strikers he wantrd in the summer. It's simply buy some clinical players or we odds on to be in the bottom 3.

Silva will undoubtedly have better offers from clubs that actually try to invest in their playing staff. Try again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Shite. Embarrassing second half. For today I was in the "have a go" camp tbh, it's a cup match, nowt to lose. If we don't sign anyone and it starts to go wrong on Wednesday it'll get toxic in what is already a huge game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Got absolutely no problem losing to a better team but the effort from some of our players - especially the ones on the edge of the first team have been awful. Massive performance needed on Wednesday. You know we'll get a defensive performance trying to nick a 1-0, which is exactly what we need to be fair. And fail to score yet again and lose 1-0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we even manage to score that would be unexpected tbh. Burnleys record against sides outside the top 7 is very good. Basically haven't conceded against the majority. 0-0 would be a good result sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Saivet dribbling into trouble and us conceding thereafter and his tackle that led to Alonso’s free kick is me adding that useless punk to the list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If Rafa isn't able to bring in 2 players before Wednesday I think we are down. We are utter trash in front of centre midfield and need a Striker and link up man desperately. We look incapable of actually attacking teams and lack basic movement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Basically sign nobody before Wednesday and we’re desperately fighting to stay up and Rafa will find himself a new job to pay his release clause and he’ll leave or sign a few players, stay up and Rafa could stay on. Great, this shit again. Always joy or death with this fucking club man. Nothing in between. Crisis or near crisis or crisis averted and delayed for the following year. Until we have a winners mentality from ownership this is our life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Pretty crap from Rafa there like, and I think that's the first time I've voiced a criticism but maybe not. First half there were times when we showed more commitment and pressing than them by a considerable margin. We had more chances but lacked the clinical finish needed. Second half comes and we put less effort in, the primary function seemed to be maintaining shape and discipline. Its a cup game, you have to win! When Joselu came on for Gayle I was already wanting all three subs made and none of them were Joselu. Atsu, Murphy and Perez would have been on for Manquilo, Haidara and Hayden. Mbemba to LB, Ritchie dropping back to RWB, lopsided 4-5-1 with more players getting forward. I get Rafa wants to drill the players in a system but there has to be exceptions, surely. When the third goal went in still nothing changed, at that point it could have been all out attack even if it meant conceding another. At 80 odd minutes they had a free-kick and we still had 11 players behind the ball. You need an outlet. Would player confidence be shattered by getting suckered with a couple of counters versus having a go and maybe getting something out of the game? (@2-0) Big shout out to those away fans though, even at 3-0 down on 85m you could still hear the "Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle" ringing around the ground.

KaKa Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 PCP have said relegation wouldn't put them off the club, so at this point it might even make it easier to be rid of this joker Mike Ashley. If we don't sign anyone there really is no point to any of this anymore until he is gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay up and without a quick takeover he's still very likely to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm imagine they'll be in touch with Rafa through the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
