    We also tried it against Milan.

    The side being fielded isn't that good... the majority were here before the takeover. Newcastle are way off where the fans think in terms of players.

    Possibly. But we had both games within our grasps.

    We can blame energy levels and fitness and injuries. But they are all unfortunately excuses. To hide or mask reality.

    The facts are we always lose when the big games come.

    We don’t need to be signing 50-100m pound players either. There’s plenty of good players that cost less.

    I point everyone to Girona in Spain.

    I think they players burn out and the other side starts to dominate personally. It's been happening earlier and earlier in games and I think we're finally at tipping point.

    After 20 minutes? I’m not sure that’s burn out. That’s tactics and game plan.

    Eddie genuinely thought that we could see out a 1-0 win at Chelsea because they have been so bad at converting chances.

    I believe he hedged his bets which nearly worked had it not for Trippier being absolutely shot.

    Did he even need to bring him on?

    Yes the players look knackered mate.. even Almiron who's an absolute trogen. Essentially the players are being run into the ground and they have to play only 3 sleeps after then again then again and again and it's caught up.

    I did agree when it happened later on in games. But the tactics changed after we scored.

    Maybe I guess to preserve legs that is plausible right.

    In fact that’s maybe it. Maybe the plan was score first and save your energy. There was a clear change in game management.

    That’s it.

    Maybe Eddie did the right thing. In the long run.

    Wrong.

    We are going to batter Luton so hard they're all going to die on the pitch this weekend.

    Is that for all you positive boys. Being sick at the thought of losing again. That blind hope is a sucker.
