Boos final whistle, absolutely deserved boos. Atrocious football on display, slow, aimless, no real plan. Players on the right and left both extremely poor, Joelinton should remain firmly at CDM and not be allowed 200 yards near the opposition box. Willock is 20 something and plays like a 50 year old suffering from cataracts. His crosses are **** and when he does connect them he hasn't even checked if we have someone in the box. Almiron gotta go, why oh why did we not sign Pedro again? Has someone actually justified that? Top 10 is long off, relegation battle is probably unlikely but ffs it's 1 win all season now Yes, boo this lot. boo em.
Newcastle have believed in the **** like longstaff, fraser Murphy in the summer. If you're fielding those players still have the likes of Ritchie on your bench then you're in a relegation battle. Newcastle have a decent enough 11 , but as we've seen you need 15 to 22. I don't fancy the side away at Fulham that's for sure.
Not a good game. I can understand the present mood. We didn't have any stand out performances. Good penalty though.
We've lost that one for sure. Then people will want Howe gone. When our recruitment was rightly criticised for a reason, took us FAR too long to sign one or two players and they're not nearly enough to make any actual impact. So far, the only one who's impressed me is Pope. Isak clearly has talent but with those mongs on his left and right, he will never score. Why, in the name of ****ing God are we not playing through the middle of the defence? Only on the wings. WE CAN'T CROSS OR HEAD A BALL FFS. please log in to view this image
I'm beginning to think Roland and everyone that was critical this summer are actually right this time. Could the results the back end of last season have lead the club to believe the need wasn't as great as it actually is? Has Howe's head vanished up his own arse to the point he thought he can make Longstaff etc good. It's a year since the takeover and I think if we're all completely honest we didn't exiect to still be seeing the likes of Fraser, Murphy, Longstaff, ritchie, Lascelles still playing major roles. It's going to take about another 200 million just to get depth
This is the Newcastle we all know and love.... It's going to take 5 to 10 years to score a goal in open play never mind win the league. If these owners are serious they need to stop ****ing about and break FFP
Don't understand this tippy ****ing tappy stuff in and around our box and their box absolutely awful it's as if all our team have been standing in line to honour the queen for the last 24 hours Willock - awful Joelinton worst game for Howe even Trippier when he got the ball out wide with space didn't drive forward Almiron and Isak getting into space but NO final ball when Almiron gets the ball all he did was turn around to get it on his left - (do they ever practice both feet) Murphy - when he came on too lightweight to hurt the opposition - easily muscled off the ball - grow a pair Poxy Lino on the East Stand and a Ref that was all to happy to allow Bournemouth to waste time what gets me is why it took so long for the Ref to give a pen, when it was as clear as day we saw it in real time and he had to have about 10 looks at it
The squad is just full of the same absolute crap we've had under Mike Ashley and that's the crux of it. We can question everything, but ultimately it's the same ****e players in the majority of cases.
Howe will soon be under pressure and I don't think it's his fault unless he's turned down players in favour of the **** that remains which I doubt.
I feel vindicated when I said newcastle are still a relegation candidate this season...if you don't beat the clubs like Palace and Bournemouth at home it come back to vote you further down the line. The **** will hit the fan vs Fulham who look a decent side in comparison
Better team but no threat on the wings without Max. Too many anywhere crosses straight to their keeper. Oh well, we will be between 7th-12th this season anyway. Go for the cups.
get Pottechini in man, we could be playing you next season lol. would love a cup draw in Jan against you.
you also said Newcastle would not score - we did you also said we would get beat - we didn't so all bases covered then
