OK so summary. They defend against us easily, they carve us apart when they attack and even when they take their foot off the gas they look like they can pick us off with ease. This is indicative of how crap we are though, for some reason we always lose to Arsenal.
This is him all over though. Doesn't score, doesn't pass, doesn't cross at best we get a free kick, a corner or a throw in. Shoe horning him in ****s anything resembling a formation. Kids turning into a street footballer.
Well no doubt arsenal are a decent side, but we had no chance with that ref today. I don't like to moan about refs but he gave our lads absolutely **** all
Was expecting a loss but was expecting a better performance. That was ****ing awful. Stop playing **** players out of position ffs.
I feel bad for Eddie Howe, he was robbed of a great welcome last week and I think we would’ve beaten Brentford with him on the touchline, he’s lost the chance to capitalise on that bounce that he would’ve got
What is with Murphy btw? He's clearly quite quick without the ball but everytime he gets it he goes rigid and static like my dog with one of those cones around his neck.
At a push, look at Fulham, Bournemouth and W Brom who'll probably go straight back up, this Newcastle team wouldn't and that's how bad they are.
On the plus side. We should get Fed and Schar at the back on Tuesday, Dubs in goal, Lewis at LWB. Would be tempted to start with Gayle on Tuesday against championship standard team and to keep Wilson for the following game to avoid suspension.
It’s confidence mate, when you’re on a streak of 13 games without winning it’s inevitable players will go into their shell and play apprehensively
