Ultimately we've been completely outclassed tonight. There's literally no quality anywhere in our squad. It's been packed out with solid hard working run of the mill players.... Tonali and Guimareas are the only exceptions and unfortunately when you meet a proper side you realise the difference. Oh Well Bournemouth away?
It’s so similar to the last UCL campaign. Inexplicable reliance on sub standard players, weird decisions, ineffective in game management. The season in spite of now half a billion quid spent will be the same.
This is why we were screaming for something different a quality player to unlock a chance and we have precisely none. It’s been dire tonight.
**** from Howe. And the club, in allowing recruitment of plodders and smilers time after time. Then buying players to sit on the bench.
I can't be watching the same game. Obviously it's disappointing to not take anything from the game but we've been competitive. Everyone is aware we are playing Barcelona in the Champions league tonight right!? I thought it was a perfectly good decision to start with Gordon through the middle and Elanga on the right given the opposition and how they play and that big Nick has been in the door barely any time.
Embarrassing, plucky little Newcastle huffing and puffing again. We’ll finish lower than the ****ing Kazakhs.
Plucky Newcastle. We keep getting beat, but at least we’re not hammered, right? The amount we’ve spent vs even huge teams like Barca and we start with Barnes, Trippier, Schar, players out of positions etc.
