Beren Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 That's pathetic Just grim. Forest are a naff side. Chris Wood is one of the very worst forwards I've ever seen play for Newcastle. It's beyond parody he'd scor a hattrick. I'm not sure I agree with the posts which say we need to shithouse more. If you need to shithouse more against Forest at home, I don't think you're where we want to be. This is just the bill coming due for not managing the squad/fitness properly (which you can control/influence) and some unlucky injuries (which you don't control). Painful, and hope Howe learns from it for next season. Need to put together a somewhat passable second half of the season to attract half decent players with something beyond money.

duo Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Words fail me - that second half is the worst performance I have seen since Eddie took charge. Miley is only one to come out with any credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soyt Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 It is like a horror championship manager save. Everything that can go wrong is going to. Striker we sold haunts us with a hat trick, i mean jesus christ.. At this rate Sunderland is going to batter us, and that could actually be the end of Eddie if the owners get itchy. We are easy to play against, there is no energy, no drive, the same formation and players and with a bit of shithousing we are easily off from our game. Everything just the opposite of last season. Hopefully it gets better soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Wheels have come off massively now. 6 losses in 7. Defensively all over the place. Clearly Livramento seemed fine when he came on, so to play Burn when you know they have pace down the flanks was suicide. Also Dubravka being glued to his line has been massively effecting our defense. Suddenly out lack of pace looks so much more obvious because he doesn't sweep behind. Tripps was again awful defensively. Every player who attacks him now is getting past at will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree regarding Burn, absolutely mind-boggling decision to play him given how Tino has performed and also taking into consideration Elanga and Gibbs-White were playing, crazy decision.

Conjo Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Did not see the second half go as it did. That was dissapointing. Howe needs to take responsibility now and shelter Tripper for a while no matter what signal he think it would send. He has tried to show faith in him through his fall in form, now he needs to try something else to get him back to the level he had beginning of the season. Not sure what we can do with the wing situation with Gordon & Almiron being our only available wingers and both having no energy to play our game. Maybe do a hail mary with Ritchie & Hall against Liverpool? As soon as Joelinton is fully fit again I hope Miley keeps his spot in favor of Longstaff. Was promising that the latter went off today so fingers crossed that is the way Howe is leaning now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Felt like we were pretty in control for 35 minutes, bar a few breaks. We were finding loads of gaps behind them. They equalise and it all changes. Another game where we vastly underperform in the final third too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC they had about three clear chances on the break in the first 35 mins where they waltzed through us far too easily. We had more of the ball but the signs were there.

Pretty even game the one I watched, they just scored 2 more of their chances. Hating the Trippier crosses, the percentage for how many times it reaches our player must be so low. Were brilliant at exploiting the right side and getting chances to cross, but they just seem close to pointless. Would love to see the actual numbers. Do agree to some extent. Obviously it was a bad performance and it loses 7 or 8 times out of 10, regardless of the opponent, but it wasn't apocalyptically bad. Every bounce went Forest's way for a start; it's mad we couldn't force another one in, and the xG backs that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad performance by our standards, but in terms of the game itself they weren't that much better than us.

Since we beat Man Utd, 1-0 at home in early December probably one of the best team performances of the season, we have: Lost 3-0 away to a Tier 3 team (Everton) Lost 4-1 away to a Tier 2 team (Spurs) Lost 2-1 at home to Milan to exit European competition Won 3-0 home to Tier 3 team (Fulham, who were down to 10 men from 22nd minute) Drew/Lost away to Tier 2 Chelsea in Caribou Lost 1-0 away to a Tier 4 team (Luton) Lost 3-1 home to Tier 4 team (Forest). Losing 6 out of 7 winnable games. It’s been a while since we have had such a poor run of form. And what tier would we be in? Asking for a friend.

Sandro Tonali Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Wood playing like prime Benzema, Forest defence thinking they're 90's Milan. One of those days and tbh one of those months. You can see Eddie's processes of working with players needs to adapt to playing more than once a week for extended periods. We will be back in 2024 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mush Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Hopefully with Botman back we can get him and Schar settled into a solid partnership again. It's probably no coincidence we've looked a little suspect at the back with having to swap out CBs the last few games. Botman will take a little bit to get back up to speed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
