Segun Oluwaniyi Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Not in terms of result, but in terms of general play, one of the worst NUFC matches I have ever seen. The team is playing like it is asleep. Both goals, players just messing about with the ball in front of the box for no reason, constant defensive errors, static attacking, no creativity, ASM complaining from minute 1. Genuinely bizarre. This same exact team was quite good last week. I do not understand what has happened in the five days since. First half v Everton was easily as bad as this. Fair enough, the team was quite good for the last half I saw them play. I was actually looking forward to seeing if it would continue in this match. Almiron and Longstaff were the two that impressed me, and both have played the worst matches of the Newcastle careers today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 ASM has been shocking. Its quite a burden i imagine, the whole team expecting you to do something to win the game on your own. Times that by 100 when your fucking brain dead manager plays you in your least effective position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Tough session on Monday to make up for this I remember Steve would throw the ball into the middle in training and say, ‘Let’s play’, like we were under-nines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The 2 mistakes for the goals were abysmal but this has been a stinking performance. Fully deserved to lose. Bruce doing ok? (No I'm not letting it go). Rod, go wank in a nettle bush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 ASM has been shocking. Why the hell he is playing through the middle is anyones guess. He is clearly better on the wing and Almiron is clearly better behind the striker. Complete nonsense. Is this our worst performance of the season?

Theregulars Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If you ever wanted an illustration of what happens when you have an actual coaching structure vs life under a complete chancer, there it was. Totally outclassed by a team playing largely in second gear who knew all they had to do was narrow the passing options of our centre halves. It was that easy.

Newcastle Fan Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 You just can't play at this level with a midfield this dis-organized, no point in having all these attacking player when you're not able to defend or attack from midfield, every time the played a few passes from the back they managed to get behind them and go head to head with our defenders, and every time we had the ball we couldn't get in to the right area, Hendrick is mainly to blame for this, it may have worked against Everton but clearly back-fired today and really hope Bruce doesn't repeat this.

Nah surely managers can't make that much of a difference, Southampton were relegation fodder last season it has to be a one off. I've been reliably told it takes 18 months AT LEAST to learn a Premier League team to even pass the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Systematic of us under Bruce, but this time we didnt get lucky. Its annoying as fuck, but you know we'll play like that 80% of the time for the rest of this season and still finish 15th on 43 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikri Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Pathetic performance. Going to assume they'd all been out on the drink for the last 36 hours & have stinking hangovers, there's no excuse for that level of performance otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 "We were a bit naive today, it is a shame given all the progress we've made. Take away the two mistakes and we would have come away with a point. We will go into the break with our heads down and be ready to make amends against Chelsea."
