Luton Town 1-0 Newcastle United (23/12/23)


Recommended Posts

They can fuck off with this shit. There was always the worry that peaking too early last season when the squad wasn't ready would lead to this. The long term demotivation and weakening of the mental strength of the team being shredded is now what worries me. To go from the way the players played last season to their current plight is abysmal and at this point in time I'm really not sure who to blame. Injuries are one thing, but we should still be able to work a result against a team like Luton, even if we were using half the youth team!

Well that was absolutely fucking awful. Can’t be going to places like Luton and putting in such abject performances. Really not good enough today.

Abysmal performance and result. Away form and performances are getting a bit of a joke. Outfought and outplayed by one of the worst teams in the league who until today had yet to keep a clean sheet. 

 

There comes a point where giving them the benefit of the doubt doesn't wash anymore. We've been poor away from home for months now.

Fucking disgusting. Fatigue aside, we didn’t do anything right today. We could have played a simple passing game but never bothered.

No pressure on them at all when they had the ball, our players running parallel with their attackers running towards our goal instead of closing down.

That wasn’t just fatigue, that was downright fucking laziness and a disgrace to their own good work in the past couple of years.

There comes a point (and I think we passed it a while ago) where if the same tired players are incapable of getting a result, game after game, then we should have just played the kids and gave them a rest. That's if the issue is fatigue.

Anybody who doesn't think Howe will be feeling the heat is being a bit too optimistic I reckon. I don't think he's anywhere near the bullet, and he shouldn't be. But if he's not facing any uncomfortable questions I'd be amazed. 

Aye this 100% anyone thinking he won't be under pressure soon is in denial. Needs to turn thing around sharpish

Worrying thing is a lot of players don’t look at all interested away from home. Alarming stuff.

I don't even think they shithoused it or anything as you'd expect from a newly promoted team but you can argue they deserved something out of the game today and rightly so (draw or win)

 

As for us - not having the likes of Barnes, Tonali, and Joelinton or even Murphy today to pick from really you can see the impact.

Absolutely - more running is what this squad needs.

 

Honestly, some of you are simply below-average intelligence humans. I forget that sometimes. 

Why do they need to do running?

You not think they can be going over recent games, looking at where they have gone wrong etc instead?

 

The training ground isn’t just a Bruce-esk ‘Roll our sleeves up and play ball’ you massive fucking bellend.

This was absolutely piss poor. I’m understanding of the fact that we’ve dealt with and still are dealing with injuries and fatigue. But we continue to get the basics wrong away from home. 5 losses in the last 6 games (incl. Chelsea on pens) is simply not good enough which ever way you want to twist it. For me, Eddie’s got a lot of credit in the bank but there will be questions asked sooner rather than later if this continues from the higher-ups (the ones above Staveley and Mehrdad) ?

Same old formation - rinse and repeat - if it fails try it again 

 

Todays performance was bloody horrendous - no structure - no patterns - players clueless - barely able pass the ball


It’s the fucking basics
