AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Just now, CherryPie said: Which Newcastle players make the first XI for Arsenal? Probably one. Two, max. So losing away from home against this team whilst the manager is trying to revolutionise the way you play from his hotel room is hardly a surprise. I’m the biggest EH fan there is - so much so that I came up to SJP for Brentford (a game that you win 19 times out of 20 playing like that btw - you can’t do anything to plan for their first and third goals) and I’m coming back for Burnley (coz Eddie stayed in bed for Brentford). Got to give the guy some time and money. Two quality fullbacks absolutely transforms your team. In Eddie Howe teams, your two fullbacks are arguably your most important players - the way they overlap with your inverted wingers is the conduit for most of your attacking play. And he’s got literally nothing to work with there at atm. Not sure I’ve ever seen a top flight team so short in this department. Not sure there’s ever been a PL team that have invested so little over such a long time. Or if they did, they got relegated in season 2 and were never seen again. We’ve somehow maintained a championship squad in the PL for a few years now. Problem is that every other team is decent these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 You just have to listen to this studio ref justifying the non-penalty decision to realise how they stick up for the Big 6 teams when it suits them. A fair shoulder charge when the defender wasn't even looking at the ball when he clattered Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 New manager been in charge for 2 games and people complaining that nothings changed. Player for player Arsenal had more quality. Half of our team just aren't good enough but we have to put up with it for now and hope we pick up some points.

xLiaaamx Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 What's Manquillo suddenly done wrong for this latest exile?i really don't get our team selection process. It's not based on actual performances at all by the looks of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) To be honest, I felt that was deserved that loss. We looked clueless, a bit of Bruce crept back in to quite a few of the players mentality, perhaps with Eddie not being around the training ground all week. We must buy solid fullbacks in January, the level of cover ASM struggled to provide to aging midfield come wingback Ritchie, was eye watering for Arsenal, Saka had a field day with Tomiyasu. Equally on the other flank, failing with Fraser, Tavares having the freedom of the Emirates. In reality we have used three wingers as wingbacks for far to long now, its desperate, and it needs sorting asap.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I’m starting to think we might go down even if we win the next two, because any half decent team will murder us. But it’s obviously a massive boost and will give us a chance to improve the squad in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Were never going to win today, just forget today and focus on the next. Trying to think positively but it's looking pretty grim like!

NE27 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Just can't believe the almost insurmountable shit show we have been left now Ashley et al have gone. No amount of coaching is going to suddenly transform this squad, it's just too limited. We can hope for better performances than those under Bruce, but we are so lacking in nearly every department it feels an uphill struggle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) likely just paranoid but starting to think there actually is an agenda against us. some of the reffing decisions again us man. Edited November 27, 2021 by huss9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 There were times where I wasn't sure which way we were attacking such was the frequency we turned back on ourselves. I think Howe got a lot wrong today, really disappointing performance tbh. Only positives were Almirons cameo and Dubravka Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've genuinly thought the same with the way our fixture list has fallen. I cant possibly think of a worse run to have than ours during the busiest period of the season. We still got it all to come as well. January cant come quick enough imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
