Today wasn’t really going to change my mind that he should get next season. But that was testing - really shambolic at times 

At half 2 I was 60-40. I'm now 48-52.

Just read there that the Hall substiution was tactical

 

I know he wasn't having his best game but for him to be the player to come off is laughable

Desperate stuff if true.

Harsh for Hall, but the sub worked. Rayan was quiet afterwards and Tripper played better than Livramento at RB.

You're all idiots man, you didn't listen when I was saying all this in December 2021, January 2023, October 2024 and all of this season. And look at us now!

Aye, I'm a proper idiot me, you got me, devastating.

 

I dunno what you're attempting like, seems like you're a bit insecure about whether people see you as clever or not. Whatever it is it's embarrassing.

There’s not much of a defense you can mount for Howe for this performance imo. Supposedly we’ve had more time on the training ground, but we looked ragged, sterile and under-coached.

 

I’m a bit shocked at just how poor a team we are currently.

I know, he's so fucking stubborn I can't even get angry anymore.


i literally caught myself laughing at their second goal. Only because i knew it was coming. Apparently Eddie only brings on a second striker when we’re down a goal with three minutes left. Because why the hell would we ever want to score twice?

Just back from the match.

 

Not the worst performance - but another one that ultimately meant nothing. There’s a growing sense of players going through the motions: doing just enough to avoid criticism, but nowhere near enough to actually win a game.

Barnes and Elanga deserve special mention, unfortunately. In very different ways, both exposed their limitations today - and neither came close to the level required.

 

Their first goal, and the chance just before half-time, summed it up. Tino looked completely switched off. Like Barnes, it was a sequence of passive, half-hearted actions that gave off the impression of player lacking urgency and accountability.

That’s the worrying part - the rot feels like it’s set in. For a manager who’s built everything on intensity and momentum, we now look flat and predictable.

 

And that predictability is hard to ignore. Most of us could see the 1–2 coming. The pattern is familiar: slow, crowded build-up play, players stepping on each other’s toes, trying to force intricate combinations we don’t quite have the players to execute.

 

3/10 - Shite.

Just before the second goal Tonali ran the length of the pitch pressing the ball - Osula joined in I think - possession was then lost but there was no other Newcastle player who had joined them which gifted possession back to Bournemouth who subsequently scored.  That in a nut shell sums up our problems.

The foolish amongst us will continue to flog a dead horse. Those with a bit more upstairs have been able to see this for a while.

I'm a genius then 😂

Fucking hell lads, we've been poor but let's not go all RTG.

 

I get the point but it hasn't really... Just one clairvoyant hoying out insults after a few shandy's. 

 

It's canny, it's like Rod has returned for an hour.

Aye, that’s very worrying if true. Hall was still one of our better performers today and Burn isn’t a LB. It’s hard to justify some of Howe’s decisions if he’s bringing off basically our best player

Hall wasn't great today like, their goal came down that side, they should have scored another, and Rayan had the beating of him all first half. Tino faired better and Burn only came on because Tino was injured. 

 

Attacking-wise there were other subs that should have come though, Barnes was really poor. Elanga too, albeit Murphy was no better. Would like to see Osula RW with Woltemade CF at some point, not necessarily because they're a good pairing, but just because the alternatives are yielding no rewards.

I’m guessing the aim of the tactic was to not win the game then.
