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.

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. :lol:

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. Get behind the team and the manager

Shearer shredding the defence, main problem according to him and Wright

 

He's right, it's shambolic.

Worst bit about that shite justification was 'Wilson is off balance'. Aye, he was off balance because a cunt come in and full pelt barged into him. :lol:

 

Makes you wonder why they even bother with VAR. We could arguably have had 3 penalties if it wasn't left to the opinion of the ref.

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.

Agreed, and it's amazingly reactive to say nothings changed just because a team that is better than us in every aspect just out played us when you look at the way we played against Brentford.

Singled out Lascelles

I've hardly ever rated him last 3 seasons.

 

I think he's rubbish in general, has bit of Steven Taylor about him.

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.

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

likely just paranoid but starting to think there actually is an agenda against us.

some of the reffing decisions again us man.

 

 

 

 

 

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
