Looks like another season over just after Christmas. Mike will be pleased. It really does suck being an Nufc fan. I suppose it could be worse. Could be a Mackem.
Our lack of quality up top is dreadful. That header by Shelvey no conviction at all. Didn’t even hit the target and can’t blame locks of hair can he.
How can an entire team, every player, just be **** at finishing? A competent striker could help, but everybody's crap at it.
If we could score a goal then we might win a game every now and then. (Michael owen quote right there)
I gotta say it yet again. Gayle is ****ing awful. He stands offside flapping his arms waiting for the world's greatest through balls to appear in front of him. He doesn't move, he offers nothing. He's so ****ing ****. I'd happily see him sold with no replacement, tbh. I'd much, much rather Perez were up front. Worryingly find myself nodding to Pouchy. The exiles seem to be trying harder than the regulars. Or maybe they're better players. Either way it's an area where Rafa doesn't cover himself with glory.
Its cheaper to pay 5m and signing fee than keep someone who left on a free? He was on 35k a week in 2016 supposedly Anita. Unless Manquillo is earning buttons I don't think this would be right. Is there any Rafa decision you will actually concede Rafa is responsible for?
Players who are not regular starters such as..... Hairdara Saivet Mbemba Have done nothing to change that today, you can see why he doesn’t play them.
Gayle has been terrible. The commentators said he hasn’t had much service. Yes he has he’s had plenty he’s just not been in the right place. Here comes our saviour. Not mad watching this. It’s like watching a film you have seen to death and expecting a different ending!
There it is 63mins, pre planned sub on. He does relise we are getting beat right? I mean maybe leave both strikers on?
Hmmmm, Haidaras first start in a very long time against the league champions and has done far more than any other fullback we have. Still not great, I know but still. Same with Saivet - has done better than Hayden and Diame.
