But that was seriously entertaining to watch. Luton gave it a right go, until the last 15 mins when it became rope-a-dope. Our lot went hammer and tongs and burned out at 90 mins. We’re a long way from being a top side, so I’m more than happy to be an entertaining one We need Europe, not going to be easy if we keep dropping points to relegation teams.

No opportunity for the player to correct things/regain confidence. Just chuck the fucker under the bus because he was done for pace. Doesn’t matter about recent man of match performances. PerformanceS? He was good against Fulham. Maybe motm, but only because none of the others had a good game really. Against Villa we looked vulnerable as fuck until Livramento came on. What about Livramentos confidence levels? Being motm the majority of the games and gets replaced asap when Burn is back. Truly a mindfuck for him.

Beren Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Quote It's always nice to score a goal, especially here at St. James' Park. Newcastle are a great club with great fans and it is nice to get a goal here today and get the point. ~ Barkley Alright, keep it in your pants.

You could see it coming as well, at half time I said we could end up winning 5-3 or losing 4-2. I think we should manage games better than that.

RobsonsWonderland Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Bruno could not walk never mind run for most of the game. But surely keeping him on the pitch could risk him for the coming games. I would rather take him off but our the lack of transfer activity has caught up with us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older longy found his shooting boots. Bruno chipping in with a rare goal. Luton are physical and have enough to stay up. To come back from 2 goals down is pleasing. aye I’m a glass half full man but some of the miserable fkers have short memories or no memories :-/ meant Tripps not Bruno.

Lotus Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 There's going to be some very upset posters and some reactive posts (probably me included). Let's just remember it's none of our fault. We just watch and experience the joy or suffering at different thresholds. it's an emotional thing, it's meant to be. Sometimes we overly rationalise to mitigate the sick stomach feeling and sometimes we just vent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a football forum, can’t be chewed with people trying to police folks’ emotions. I just thoroughly enjoy crazy high-scoring games where two teams have a go, and neither side looks capable of defending. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Vedder said: The two things are completely separate IMO. You can call out a bad decision/performance when you see it without being disrespectful. Otherwise, should we all sit here sharing pleasantries after seeing us concede 4 at home to Luton? Its only seperate if you don't want to use context. Some people prefer the bipolar, reactionary reaction to every dropped point some dont. We seen how that worked out last season. It happens. They hammered Brighton in their last game. There's nothing between us and Brighton. Should they bemoan their lot based on that one game? Keegan's great team lost 2-0 and drew with far worse Luton teams than this. It would have been bang out of order to criticise the manager and players in the overall. We weren't good in either game but ffs you don't have to react to every setback like a bairn, they're going to happen forever. They still happen to Manchester City, whom were not and Luton used to beat great Liverpool teams regularly. Edited February 3 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexred Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Few people saying it was a "fun" game. My idea of fun could never be conceding 4 at home to Luton . If I was watching a 4-4 Real Madrid v Barca, sure that's fun. It's unacceptable to perform like that against relegation candidates. I'm far from Howe out, I just really wish he would lessons. Oppositions eyes light up when they see Burns up against their fast wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 My main takeaway was that we had probably half a team out today that is more mid-table or lower than European contender. It’s not surprising we can’t control or dominate the game with such limited players making up a lot of the team. I respect all of our lads but Longstaff, Miley, Murphy, Burn, Almiron and arguably Wilson are more Luton quality than Arsenal quality. It’s a natural part of our progression but we still have too many average players to be confident of consistent wins. Of course, take them out and replace them with the lads we have injured and we destroy Luton 9 times out of 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matta Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 25 minutes ago, Mazzy said: It's not even close. We got beat by these not that long ago. Do you remember the shit we watched 3/4 years ago, every other game was an embarrassing result or performance. Leading 2-1 then suddenly down by 2-4 is up there. The way we just waste around with no real intention is up there. Not winning when taking an early lead here is almost criminal. So much wrong today. Thankfully we managed to salvage one point. This is poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
