Nobody happy. The optimists were left wanting a goal, and the doom merchant predictors failed in their Toon negativity.
Bollox to a centre back in January - we MUST recruit a striker.
Taking Barnes off instead of Murphy...
You said all week we'd lose, we didn't.They didn't win either which means you were wrong
Jeezus that was a tough watch. Isak and even Wilson would have had a field day and that’s 2 games now with no strikers and 0 goals from open play. Can’t have a back up striker who is more injury prone than your starter so Wilson has to go for me, need someone who can come in and stick the ball in the net.
Not blaming Gordon - just about everyone else - for the penalty. For me there’s no way AG should have been taking it. Bruno or Trippier should be stepping in there and taking it off him! What Howe is thinking letting AG take it I’ve no idea.
Small mercies - point on the road and a clean sheet.
We need a right winger. We needed one in 2022, we needed one in 2023 and we need one in 2024. For reasons I will never understand we still have Murphy and Almiron who offer precisely zero threat. Barnes is a 1 in 5 player, and we spent £15m on a striker who can’t get a minute on the pitch.
For two years the transfer decisions at this club have been ****ing abysmal. So here we are, striving to get top 8.
Personally think we need to change the manager. We know every week the formation and how the game will likely unfold. There’s no excitement around the club, there’s a lack of energy. I thought today was actually a shame; we should’ve won 2-0 and were in control but it’s the same failings; Gordon’s not a CF, RW is pointless (every meaningful attack came down the left), formation is predictable, the football is predictable.
I mean, it’s all fine if we just want to stay in the league comfortably. But whatever we’re doing won’t win trophies or get back to Europe.

We’ve nothing really about us. I don’t really look forward to watching the match and what’s worse is Sky are going to stop giving us money as they realise we’re so dull. The whole club just feels like it needs an injection of something.
Ultimately the squad and side is not as good as many like to think.. we can all tap dance around that fact, point at 2 years ago whatever, but this is going to take another 5 years to get where I think some people think they already are.
Top 7, slow build and try to accept and enjoy the journey.
They could probably have taken all their players off and we'd still find a way to not score..so wasteful with the final action.
It's not really good enough.
