In fairness, it has been, most people seem to realize it was just a bad day at the office with the context of us having just won 9 in a row.

Fully expect us to walk over Southampton next week and put today behind us rapidly. I'm not sure it'll be a walkover by any stretch, but aye, thank fuck it is Southampton next Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Just now, Mike said: They were class and beat us at our own game. I'm normally annoyed as fuck when we lose but I can't even muster it. West Ham and Brighton was massively annoying as they were absolutely shite Today was just a day where the opposition are playing out of their skin. We should know more than anyone since Howe has been here what a 'lesser' side can do when they put the work in off the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 They were class in all honesty, we weren’t able to control the game at all. Put it behind us and onto the next one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 That was a terrible performance, only player in my eyes that showed any fight was Sandro. sloppy passing all game, hall got run ragged in the first half. Gordon miles off it. They deserved the 3 points… oh well we go again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 In seriousness, that was a totally and utterly lifting 98 minutes from everyone in black and white. Outplayed across the park. Bournemouth looked sharper, quicker, more incisive. We looked like 11 blokes who’d never played football together before. The run was always going to come to an end but to come such a pitiful end like that is shocking. They had 11 fit senior players. Appalling stuff.

This performance should be watched over by the whole team, and used to learn some valuable lessons. We are not good going against an aggressive and effective press. I know you need the other team to set up in a way that suits it. But I was really surprised we rarely tried contested balls into Joelinton or Isak, with players around them. We did it against someone like Villa away from memory and someone else who I forget. Of course against Spurs, it is more the ball in behind as they play so stupidly high. Every time we tried to get round their press. You could see another chance for them coming. Like watching a car crash in slow motion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It's ridiculous how good Bournemouth are when you consider they had to sell solanke. But the money is reinvested wisely and they are stronger for it. They are probably tactically the most effective football team for what they have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I’m not too surprised really. The warning signs were there against Wolves I thought. We also lost the ball way too many times and looked quite sloppy. Today probably even worse. Today we played against a proper side though. Very disappointing nonetheless. Sometimes these results are needed though going forward.

Abacus Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Too many off games and sloppy passes today - they effectively smothered Bruno in the middle and both Murphy and Gordon had games to forget out wide. I do wish the ref had been a bit stronger with the fouling and issuing cards early on, but equally we didn't cope with it and I really doubt it would have affected the game. Bournemouth were definitely the better team today anyway, both individually and tactically - it happens. We're still in a great position both for Europe and a possible cup final regardless, so I'm not going to let it ruin the weekend and look forward to us bouncing back instead.

54 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The most annoying thing about that result was that the Newcastle hoodie I got for Christmas, that had seen in 6 wins, has lost its winning "juice", so now it will go into the pile of shame for its superstitious mystical powers have come to an end.

They are probably tactically the most effective football team for what they have Due to a number of injuries they didn't even have a striker today, and were also playing Lewis Cook at right back. Pretty shocking how well they bettered us. Edited January 18 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
