AFC Bournemouth 1-1 Newcastle United (25/08/24)

[Tsunami]

Woeful this, lack of energy, movement and desire. Trippier with his head in hands on the bench. Not a single positive so far. 

[arnonel]

Bed wetters unite

[Gallowgate Toon]

Absolutely baffling setup, tbh. No LW while we're playing a defensive left back?

 

Why are we so obsessed with going for killer balls if we're so scared of them countering? 

[Rafalove]

Isak been good imo, the rest have been shite.

There's something wrong here, like. 

 

We weren't that great last week either. Same old disjointed performance and misplaced passes. Complete lack of threat from either wing.

 

This 442 also isn't fucking working.

Werent that great last week? Thats certainly a way of saying we were abysmal(other than heroic defending).

[soyt]

I just dont understand this, again with the away performances. Players looking soft, slow and disinterested - kind of "we dont want to be here" - body language. It is so effin strange. Nothing is working. 

[Deuce]

God I hope Tonali hasn’t forgotten how to be a footballer over the last year 

[Oregon_Geordie]

So lacklustre and sloppy, from Pope to Isak. Not much fight these days.

Mental that we've not signed a RW. No two ways about it.

We are lacking anything down either flanks - get Trips and Hall on

Theres no leader out there think making Bruno captain might be a mistake, he goes missing too much in away games

 

[Dr.Spaceman]

And it looks like we've got a wish.com AG out there.

[Aiston]

We have no width at all, Gordon and Murphy playing awful.

 

Right side is basically Livramento and he cannot defend and attack at the same time

 

Joelinton so many errors and Longstaff shite (as expected).

Murphy is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wasteful

Can’t be true, I keep getting told how he’s sooooooo much better than Miggy. At least Miggy would get us into the final 3rd.

[Mazzy]

We've been poor. Aside from the 10 minutes at the start maybe. 

 

Losing all the battle, misplaced passes everywhere. No urgency whatsoever, really need to up it massively.

 

Gordon a passenger. Half the player he was last season based on this showing so far. But saying that Isak and Gordon are so isolated they can't do anything productive.

[Menace]

Another season with Murphy and Longstaff

[buzza]

Second to evry ball!

Looks like our team has played 60 games already this season. For fecks sake!!!

[Lush Vlad]

I really thought we played well the first 20 and should have scored when on top. Appalling since and they look like they’ll get a second no bother. 
 

He may prove me wrong. But I think he’ll put that 11 back out 2nd half and we’ll be just as bad. I’d be looking to get Willock and Trippier/Hall on. Needs to be ruthless and send a message that this isn’t anywhere near good enough. 

[Unbelievable]

Looks like we’re badly missing Trippier’s creativity from RW

[gbandit]

Such an uninspiring half of football. Isak was our only good player there, followed by Bruno, Tino and Pope. Everyone else was somewhere between poor and very poor. Joelinton won’t have a worse half all season, Murphy probably will and Longstaff will as well. Don’t know what’s up with Gordon but it’s concerning

Murphy is so bad

 

 

But when you say we're better off playing either Barnes or Gordon there, you have some clown talking about different position nonce brigade.

 

Perfect. We'll keep watching this instead.

Can't blame it on games/injuries.  No excuse such a lacklustre performance against a mid-table side.

[Newcastle Fan]

Gordan since last week is not lookimg bothered at all playing.

[Jonas]

WIth a scratch defence, Murphy and Longstaff were not much better than them on average. Just takes a couple purples to be under par,  home advantage at a place we've had  only ever had one non-bad performance at (Bruce/pandemic) things are deflatingly par for the course.

[BennyBlanco]

As shit of a half of football as we’ve ever played under Howe. Zero intensity, sloppy passing, carelessness with the ball and lack of movement have been endemic this half. It has to be better than this. 

[nufcnick]

We’re getting no where near Europe this season with that squad
