maybe_next_year Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Not a bad half, defended well, created a half-chance, some decent balls in from set peieces too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 "Should have kept Mitro" He doesn't work in Rafa's system, nor is he a player Rafa wanted to use. Why the fuck would we keep him? It's not hard to understand Rondon is just a budget version of Mitro though. Both strong, slow strikers that mostly score with headers. If we were gonna use one of those anyway, I’d much rather we persisted with the young one that had a better goals per minute ration in the PL.

bigfella Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Fucking cretin. Allardyce did this with us, and we got pummeled 5-1 at home, off Liverpool. Keys being a cunt again. And Allardyce inherited a much better squad and had plenty of money to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Well it's working, we are not letting them score and we are having a rare chance. Painful to watch though. I'd take a 0 - 0 but it's one of those games where as soon as we concede it will be game over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 People still pissing their pants about our line-up? Think bringing Muto or Perez on will help us push up a little, but we've done well to keep it goalless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Amazing how you've all come to this stunning revelation after he's scored two against Burnley. Great insight. Let's see at the end of the season where everything stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 We shouldn't have sold Mitro and I don't care how annoying it is to say it He wouldn’t get anywhere near the goal in our setup though. He’d be on the half way line for 87 minutes then subbed. Is the point. Rafa said he rates him he just can't play in the way we need him too. Let's leave it there man.

LV Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 We shouldn't have sold Mitro and I don't care how annoying it is to say it I fully agree Amazing how you've all come to this stunning revelation after he's scored two against Burnley. Great insight. Let's see at the end of the season where everything stands. This isn’t a new thing for me that I’ve just suddenly plucked out of the air. I’ve always liked Mitro, rate him and didn’t want him sold. I also love Rafa and think he’s the best manager we’ve had for years. It’s possible to like both and just an opinion.

Klaus Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Where does this ‘rather lose 5-4 than win 1-0’ craic come from? I have never heard any newcastle supporter say that ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Burnley had one of the best defences in the league last season btw Haven't so far this season though. Mitro is also clearly not doign a good job defensivly as they have conceded two at the half at home See, can play this game too? Watch them lose this game at home.

TRon Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Fernandez and Schar They've been outstanding tbf. Probably the most positive aspect of the first 45 mins from our point of view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 That's the best our 541 has ever been btw. Last season we always looked a little lost but Schar and Fernandez look well drilled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sold mitro with the thought of spending the money on weak areas of the team. I can see why he sold him, it just didn’t work out how he expected given he works for a lying twat.

KaKa Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Be massive if we get a result today. Will really be a big lesson for Lascelles and a strong result for Rafa with the team. If we do somehow win, I would keep Lascelles out for another game or two and let the guys that have come in continue to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
