Of course they may, failure to get European football will impact on sponsorship and revenue. I'm not saying they will, but a continuation of the current form since December and failure to get into Europe could see them firing the bullet. Currently it's not good enough what's being offered up. He has a favourable run of games coming up, let's see what happens. I was confident things would improve, but that performance against a poor Chelsea team has me doubting that. My favourite saying time will tell, but I certainly wouldn't bet against PIF pulling the plug if we have no European football come May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempiternal Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This team is crying out for someone who can get a grip in midfield and play. Feel like we do everything at 100mph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Think Pope saves the first two goals. First one Dubs is ridiculously slow to get down and on second one he's guessing far corner for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Just now, duo said: I am more concerned at our decline - you can't blame injuries for our performance today. There was just no cohesion, we seemed to lack any form of a game plan - they had a patched up back four and we barely tested them. I was just coming back to make the point that, although it's not the reason our performance was so poor - we definitely can still bemoan the injury situation. Trippier missing, Barnes missing again, Gordon crocked after a few minutes. Not to mention the impacts still being felt from having no Joelinton and especially Pope. Meanwhile Willock's still not up to scratch and Botman has clearly taken some psychological damage from his time out. Bloke's miles off the pace. It's great having the likes of Anderson and Murphy to choose from again, but they're still much worse options than our first choices. Like I say, it doesn't explain the sheer limpness of that performance - but still our season continues to be defined by injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 12 minutes ago, Yorkie said: Just absolutely frustrating as fuck. Probably the most frustrated I've been all season. We can take solace from the fact it doesn't change a huge amount in the grand scheme of things; the skirmish for 7th will probably play out until the very end. Just maddening that we've pissed away a really good opportunity due to a thoroughly limp fucking performance. Aye first time I’ve been angry after a game this season. Just utterly shite from start to finish. Mad it was 3-2. Play like that against City and it could be anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what's happened to even basic defending this season. 37 since Dubs came back is damning. 14 games each.

Its a slight worry that we've been saying there is a favourable run for the last couple of months and haven't taken advantage of it. It does however have the feel of a cup final (and loss) season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players feel all out of rhythm with eachother. You've got a blend of players who have played way too much and players who have barely started their season. Injuries are absolutely still a factor.

The Bonk Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Big Geordie said: Out of interest, how many of them were at home? I messed up, that stat is "games moved to MNF" by broadcasters. I'll try to sort out on my own our actual record, but it's piss poor. We did manage to beat Leicester 3-0 last year at their place and drew at home to them 0-0. Edited March 11 by The Bonk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE27 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 8 minutes ago, Conjo said: One deflection/slight touch and two tunnels for their goals. Conceding one of those in a game is annoying enough, but three of them to lose 3-2 Chelsea definitely had the margins on their side. Not that we played well by any means either, but thought we deserved a point at least. Chelsea did a really good job at nerfing Bruno. Good night to update the ignore list. Deflections, pussy footing around challenges, our midfield playing in 0.5x speed, constant fucking injuries And in comparison, it just seems like the ball never EVER falls kindly for us (slight exaggeration obviously), but seriously, it just doesn't.

Especially the second goal where he came off his line a bit and made it harder for him to see the ball, before he knows it, it's despatched in the nice generous chunk of the goal exposed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only twice in the last 14 have Newcastle United managed to score a goal. MNF can fuck right off! Do you know where the figures are available? I wanted to check ours too. It’s bonkers. Just a search online brings up articles from years and years ago saying your record is abysmal. Don't know why you bother watching any more. At least if you go you get to sing and dance.
