HawK Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Ki was shocking for that goal. Really weak You've spouted some shite about Ki in this thread. Sure you're the one that asked if he had even won the ball back at all in like the 60th minute when he won it back fantastically only about 3 or 4 minutes into the game. Talking shit. He also gave the ball away at least 3 times in the first 35 minutes on the rare occasions we had the ball. Can't judge him after one game, but today he was unquestionably poor. Hope he improves. I don't really care if you think that. Bore off will you nobhead Eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fine, if you wanna disagree the don't drag the discourse to "talking shit", no point really. I'm fine with people having a differing opinion.

Jaqen Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The lack of quality in our squad is shocking though, it really is. We're going to be involved in a lot of tight games because of Rafa's organisation basically, but we can't do anything if we keep getting s*** decisions like that go against us. look, having to play like that for 90 mins is inviting s*** decisions, s*** tackles, cards...............its s*** tactics sorry and very very rarely gets you anything. Not new though, is it? We did this last season and it got us a top half finish when all was said and done. There's one man to blame for how pathetic we are in the face of this class of opposition, and his name isn't Rafa Benitez. Commentator on NSBC at least called out Ashley as the problem today.

Yorkie Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 We played these off the park with attacking football three months ago. Since then, they've got a lot better and we've got worse. But call Rafa negative if you want/are stupid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Rafa 5Live "Chelsea are up there to win the PL - players worked hard. Pen - needs looking at closely. Players did well against a great team, but not good enough. Disappointed with how we dealt with the 2nd ball, for the 2nd goal. Work rate and discipline were good. Players have to continue working hard - need to be better on the ball. New players came in late and need time to gel. Lascelles - avoids answering the question. Shelvey out for a couple of weeks."

Shearergol Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Always wonder how cup upsets even happen. Do league two teams just sit back and hope for a 0-0 against premiership teams? No, because they are one off games with no long term impact, so they can afford to just 'give it a go'. That’s a fair point, but I do watch a lot of games where lower league clubs actually look a lot better in an attacking sense than we ever do. Just wonder why.

But call Rafa negative if you want/are stupid That match was the dictionary definition of a dead rubber, with them playing under a manager everyone knew was going to be sacked.

Skeletor Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I've been just quietly seething since the penalty. Not necessarily just the injustice of the penalty, not losing another cheap goal after equalising. It's everything. We fought an up hill battle against Chelsea for 90+ minutes for nothing. Off the field Sky are fighting a propaganda battle for Ashley. It's just...how is this gonna end? We have an owner so malevolent that he fakes trying to sell the club and pushes a propaganda war against the fans to ensure we're as miserable as possible.

Guest covmag Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 utter wank tactics , deserved nothing. Perhaps an ultra attacking line up and high tempo passing game with a 0 - 5 bumming would have made you happier. the turgid defending for 90 mins not moving out your own half is fucking great to watch as well mind eh? we went forward, we attacked, we scored !! we sat back invited pressure the whole game , guess what, they scored. yep You're massively missing the point. I don't get excited about watching us today but I certainly understand why Rafa has to do it, and it almost got us a point. its about opinions, to sit so deep for 80 mins was nothing short of suicide and inevitable, Rafa didn't have to do it, he could send them out believing ?

jackyboy Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 On the coverage I watched they said that the average cost of Newcastles team was £4.7 mil and Chekseas was £37mil Maybe that affects how you plan tactics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 My 2 cents is I think Rafa got the tactics wrong today. City I can understand, but Chelsea are a level below them. To gift a team 80-90% possession for 90 minutes, I don’t see how you can not concede. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Redknapp, man. "Rafa and the team have a duty to play a certain way at home." It's funny that that duty doesn't extend to Ashley backing him adequately in the transfer window with every penny the club generates. Fucking Redknacker more like.

Guest ElCid Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'm not going to moan about the tactics, we stifled them really, just wish we would show a bit more intent when we have the ball. I am after That shot was going wide as well, if he hadn't have touched it Barkley would probably have scored. Dummett was ball watching when the ball came in also, then Ki should have done better and then possibly Yedlin probably should have done better. No way we should be playing five at the back and so negative at home. The last four home games has shown how you need to play three wins and an unlucky defeat to Tottenham.
