Yorkie Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Playing with ten men is no excuse. We were ill disciplined or too slow at least one of those times. It's a fair representation because we have no leaders in our squad. Heads drop too early and some players go missing. That's a fair enough point. But Janmaat's sending off was just one player having a total brainfart and Mitrovic's was arguably a booking. Plus, I'd wager that ill-discipline is one of the more removable ailments a team has. The point is, I can see what McClaren has tried to do (the CM choices included), but any attempt to build some continuity has been severely damaged by two red cards. All that being said, the time has come for him to acknowledge the fact that the eleven needs tweaking anyway - before it's even had a chance to become our best XI. It was a fair shout, but it's never going to be that. One of Anita or Colback needs to go and Perez needs to come in. I don't rate him that highly but he's what we've got, and I do think any shout to sack him is as futile as it is irrational. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have a captain who has a heart the size of a pea and is mute...you never see the curly haired big girls blouse barking orders at anyone Heart the size of a pea I'm not so certain about. However, no mouth and unfortunately that counts for more than performances sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 We're in big trouble. Even the average to poor teams have something about them this season, we just look devoid of anything. No goals in 4 games ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Typical of Newcastle. 50million plus on attacking flair and cannot score. Two up front will solve that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The piece of shit transfer policy of the seasons preceding this one is more relevant than the fact we spent £50m this time. That's the reason we're still lumbered with a poor player up front who doesn't want to be here. We made some promising in-roads to becoming an actual sporting outfit this summer, but it was never going to be enough. It isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 We have had a tough start, well the first 4 games were, especially factoring in the sendings off. But West Ham are mediocre as f*** and we've made them look like a FIFA all star team. They didn't even appear to be trying for half the game and they still embarrassed us. I've not been worried at all this season. I even thought we'd finish top half. But no goals in 4 games and hardly any chances created. The only time we threaten goal, is when Janmaat has one of his many shots. Throw in the fact Colo is weak as p*ss and we are all over the show defensively, it's hardly a good mix. McClaren still keeps sending the same 4-2-3-1 out there, with no creativity and keeps playing the same out of form players, or players out of position. It's grim.

B-more Mag Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Oh god, not this fucking thread again I'm worried that we're putting too much stress on the relegationometer, using it so much every season. I'd like to think we'd eventually have a season where we do well enough to give it a break, but we should probably just pass the hat to raise funds for a new one in case it goes tits up.

Ashley17 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 We've played 4 of last season's top 8. Our start is horrendous but hopefully after the second International break we'll have a better gelled team for the decent run of fixtures we have in October/November. If we're going to stick with 1 up front, Mitrovic is absolutely vital as he actually holds the bloody ball up instead, once he's a fixture in the team (if he tones down the crazy) I'm confident we'll be midtable.

George Bailey Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Skin of the teeth if we do stay up on the showings so far. very early days I know but we look poor. Think we will do it, but only just....again. Mackems look doomed to same kind of season too, thankfully. Saturday could be massive re confidence and releasing some tension. Lose at home to Watford and we are really looking at a grim season...win and maybe it can get us moving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hithere Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think we're both going down. Yourselves with a whimper. We might put up a bit of a fight. What I've seen from yourselves just screams relegation. Devoid of a defence and a threat going forward. Mind I've said that about us the last few seasons and we always manage to stay up...

Ketsbaia Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'd say Bournemouth and Sunderland are going but that third spot could be several teams - maybe us, Villa or Watford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
