For me the yellow cards left two key players hesitant and almost unable to get properly stuck in and the right hand side was never addressed.

Unfortunately once Villa got the 2nd goal out players started sulking and had chucked the towel in.

That's my take anyway.
We were shocking from the first second.
 
Every team in the league has played 33 games so far this season
yet this ref has only managed to get 12 middles this season says it all really
if he was any good he would have done a lot more
he has reffed us 3 times, 25% of his games
we always seem to get the ****e of officials more than others

Referee: Jarred Gillett ****E ALL GAME


edit :- they're all ****e
 
I'm not saying we were great, but I maintain the two yellows had a huge impact on the game and perhaps the changes needed to come earlier into the 2nd half.. Moving Barnes out right wasn't the answer but its all just how I saw the game.
Yeah maybe. I think we were simply outplayed today. The poor refereeing early on fed into that a bit, but overall we just weren't at the level we can be and needed to be. The cards certainly would have impacted, but I think we were losing today regardless, due to performance levels.

The ref shafted Newcastle and the players got frustrated with it in the end.

He’s a continually awful ref.

That said we were utterly predictable, you can get away with basic tactics and positive mentality against **** like palace and Manure, but Emery is different gravy.
Typical Newcastle - if we win, UCL is almost guaranteed. Lose, and it’s a huge fight yet again, one we typically lose.
 
Oh and a special shout out for the management team for bringing on the ****ing useless, worthless, pointless **** that is Callum Wilson. I am ****ing tired to ****ing death of seeing this **** get minutes, what the **** is Howe and Tindalls point here? For all the good the management have done, the Wilson debacle is ****ing disgusting.

It was always going to be a difficult game, so the last thing they needed was the ref giving them absolutely **** all, but perhaps swapping full back for 5 or 10 might have been worth a look or park the bus rather than get rolled over.

I don't want to be too critical because things are going very well, but there's definitely never any chance of any proactive changes taking place on days like today.

Beat Ipswich and we might be ok... I dunno it's so tight and we have the hardest run in.
 
We'll get nothing at Brighton or at Arsenal, so it's about winning the 3 home games I think.

Personally I don't think we're going to make top 5, but we won something anyway.

We can win against both if we play well. We've beaten Arsenal three times already this season, without conceding a goal, so no call for defeatism.
