Newcastle United 0-2 West Ham United (25/11/24)

[RodneyCisse]

Genuinely how can that not be a pen before. Would have transformed the game!?

[Jordan]

What was the point of bringing Murphy on? He’s dross. 

[Ikon]

Not sure what we are doing.

Lloyd Kelly and Schar is a bit of a glimpse into a Schar Guehi partnership.  Too weak in the air. 

 

It wouldn't be Schar/Guehi though, Schar is finished, it'd be Botman/whoever.

Our midfield is too often this season just a sieve. Have no control for games, and we’re not good enough to win end to end games consistently.

 

We've got one of the best young central midfield talents in Europe sitting on the bench playing a bit part role which isn't helping. 

[Doctor Zaius]

Every single player on the pitch has been crap aside from probably Lewis Hall

 

Some of them laughably shit.

Absolutely fucking gash this. The whole game has been a festering heap of pigshit

 

We played well first half but this second has been woeful. 

 

We've just looked like we've chopped and changed formations constantly with no coherence at all. 

[Aiston]

Bruno and Tonali with no one to pass to but defenders

 

Everyone of our players sitting on West Ham defenders.

[Holloway]

The need for a number 10 keeps rearing it's head like

[Pilko]

This is a shapeless mess bereft of any quality. A real bollock dropped after such a good little pre-international run.

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Whats Howe done in training this week, we can barely string two passes together

We suffered so much at the start of the season to get to that formation we started with that was looking so good.

 

Just needed Tonali for Longstaff for a bit more impetus.

 

Couldn't believe the complaining about Willock, Joelinton and Gordon early on.

 

We were still looking dangerous and just needed some patience.

 

Ended up a mess now.

Aye.  
 

Bruno injured too. 

[Beren]

I like Hall, but he's a greedy bugger.

[Jordan]

Games like this you’d never think Isak was a player we could realistically get £100m + for. Same with Bruno. 

[Cf]

Gordon needs to have a word with himself in that he's effectively been replaced by Murphy here.

Everyone remember this performance the next time you whinge about Dan burn 

True. But there’s a lot more wrong with this than just Kelly for Burn. 

[Nobody]

Someone put a fucking tackle in

Been like this most of the season. 

[Aiston]

Nice of Kelly to position himself well.

[Sibierski]

Even Barnes, came on, involved first 5 mins and disappeared ever since. Far too many passengers this 2nd half. Which is unlike us, as we’re usually better 2nd half when needing a result.

It’s a big factor imo.  

[ChrisMcQuillan]

We look completely tactically clueless. 

[Pilko]

Really impressive party piece we have of finding the area of the box with no black and white shirts in it every time we put a corner in.

Chance is Burn would have had been torn a new one by Bowen and Antonio anyway

[SUPERTOON]

Another game that highlights how bad the summer window was tbh.
