Bimpy474 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Some of the comments ffs, has the last few years fucked your tiny brains. We're miles behind teams like Liverpool, financially and commercially. Eddie performed miracles last season and over achieved, we have to build season on season and we are. We're playing 15 years of catch up, it's going to be a road of bumps. Look at the subs Liverpool can bring on, even with a fully fit squad we haven't got their quality yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 2 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Goes to show behind the cool flag displays and the self appointed "best fans in the league" tag, our fans are absolutely laughable. Nothing wrong with constructive criticism, but calling for the head of the bloke who steered us from relegation and finished fourth just a year later is on point. At this "supporters" should be rallying around a manager and squad, not turning on them. Just let the emotional children out themselves, although the amount of it around football is scary. Rational, level headed football fans are few and far between unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Another really poor performance. Look knackered, disjointed, making simple mistakes, out of shape defensively, same tactical mistakes over and over. We don't look like a team anymore. It really is worrying. Lose the derby and who knows... Really, really hope he can turn it around, but signs aren't great atm. Edited January 1 by The Butcher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Last few games have been genuinely worrying, tbf. There's something not quite right at all and we don't look like turning it around any time soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmk Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Just now, The College Dropout said: I do believe fatigue is a major issue in our performances. But Howe is responsible for managing the players fatigue and players conditioning. Yes you have said this ad nauseam last week. Don't need to rehash it, we played Liverpool away and lost, no one expected us to do anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir_9 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 There is no way people are not writing this entire month as a write off perhaps maybe a win against the mackems and a draw against Villa at best. Anything more is totally unexpected given the circumstances and situation we find ourselves in. If you aren't then I think you may have overrated our squad in its current state a little bit more than what they can do. They overperformed last year man, mistaskes were made this year and lessons will no doubt be learnt. The pressure and talks of Howe losing his job really shouldn't be until next season or the very least this month is out of the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 1 minute ago, Mikky said: It’s the lack of learning Tonight has been embarrassing - we turned up and played a style to suit the home team Aye. The midfield setup doesn’t work. The current midfield 3 are too slow / lack athleticism to play the way they’ve been asked to play. Bruno pressing the oppo’s 6 and leaving massive gaps behind him. Why do we keep doing that? If teams can beak our first line of press there’s massive gaps - why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 We looked like a Steve Bruce team tonight, the plan seemed to be sit back and hope something magically happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only so much you can blame injuries and fatigue when you have players like Hall not getting in ahead of Burn, and Trippier needing to sit out and not being so when Livramento is available. 8 minutes ago, Wandy said: Looking very much like a bang-average manager right now. Lose the derby and he is in big trouble. The last few weeks have nibbled away at his banked credit. A loss to Sunderland will take a very big chunk from it. There's three, heavily implying it or sharpening the knives for a kick off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The main issue he has is that he massively overachieved last season. Genuinely think that’s where the reactions and pressure is coming from. Ridiculous really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The numbers have, until now, supported him, but that expected goal diff is as bad as it will get for any team in the league in basically any season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 He's acting like a novice manager. Has done for most of the last 2 to 3 months. He's more out of form than his players. I think he knows he can't change it and just sits and watches the car crash. Completely out of ideas on how to stop this. He could start by mixing up his starting xi and using subs earlier...but refuses to divert from his plan a and plan a cleary hasn't worked for 10 games or so now. Enough players are back to not be performing like this. He has his 1st choice defence but it cant stsy focused for more than 5mins at a time. Said before this game stick the most defensive unit out as possible and frustrate. Get Hall I front of the lb and keep salah quiet. Right now he's got that looks when Bruce was beating him and his team was going down....Just dead behind the eyes and broken. The club need to back him with players ASAP. Fuck ffp. Go out and correct this season or he'll not last it. Deals should have been done already, not sitting on it waiting for players to come back. It's not fair on those whove been run into the ground, and if they don't act now, they've done them a disservice as well as Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 There’s a major issue happening when teams press us. We cannot move the ball round cleanly, we rarely have a man free. Obviously, Liverpool are a very good team but the amount of times this season we’ve struggled to move the ball between players when under pressure has been extremely poor. We either get tackled off the ball or we just play a hopeless pass forwards and invite pressure. That’s my main concern about how we’re playing. Think it’s been magnified by the fact we’ve played so many tough games because of Europe but we look scared with the ball too often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandy Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 1 minute ago, Ikon said: Agree. But I really don’t se many at all calling for his head??? Nobody is calling for his head. A few on here are desperate to be seen as super-fans when it comes down to the manager though. Right now though, the simple fact is that the manager is doing a rubbish job. That means he will deservedly be feeling the pressure, nothing more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Another shambolic display away from home. Didn't he say we should see a clear difference now we've had time to train? If anything it was worse.
