Newcastle (a) post-match thread

Defence a worry

Just the defence haha really I'm 54 and I could feel happy facing our lot at the minute

MENDY IS DOG SH-T

Don`t be telling the happy clappers that.

Disgusting performance. Same as last year.

Tactics, lack of desire.

We are fighting for top four as things stand.

Sterling miss at the end is criminal, as is Pep blind spots when it comes to Mendy, Mahrez, Gundogan and Silva.

Season over in November.

Gundo has been effective in Europe but agreed I’d rather the others weren’t anywhere near our strongest starting XI

 

[citymad]

Pretty sure that’s game over for us.
Shame but this squad has hit a wall.

Looks like it. Teams know how to play us now. Top 4 has to be the goal now

 

[Mr HJ]

Mendy with the worst performance from any individual player in our post takeover history.

He was average at best but Mahrez was worse today - he did nothing and I mean nothing going forward.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

But I was assured we always do well there and that we'd dick em.
Players as complacent as some of our fans.

 

[Paul1970]

Not a bad thing really.

It's the hope that kills you.

Agree mate looking forward to next season.,this team needs breaking up

 

[domalino]

People dont want to say it, but Fernandinho has given away one if the dumbest fouls you will ever see at the end there. Taking out a guy who had lost the ball and was running out of play with loads of defenders back in the box.

He should have been sent off for it, it cost us the game in the end.

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Is there another team anywhere that constantly concedes goals from so few chances created? We have 3 or 4 times more possession and chances than our opposition and it guarantees fuck all

 

[jollylescott]

Got exactly what we deserved. We were shite all over the park.

 

[Sky Blue]

Controversial opinion, and maybe this is knee jerk as we’ve just lost, but if Pep isn’t planning on staying long and this is what we can expect to see then I’d rather he just left now to be honest, and get someone in who’s capable of some basic in-game management.

Big fucking sniff.
