Fucking pathetic!

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Newcastle will turn the 2-0 around in this rate

 

[Lee the Blue]

Where to start with that.

The team selection was baffling - a one footed left back at right back, a poor right back acting as our midfield fulcrum and our playmaker.
Big players hiding from the ball; our squad being outworked all over the field. Our captain throwing in an utterly idiotic red card.

Big players - yes you Erling, Phil, Rodri - just not showing up at all or making anything like the required contribution. Goals being simply given away by Sunday league defending.

As an aside Haalands performances since the West Ham game have been absolute dogshit.

Bodo genuinely could've scored 6 tonight and it wouldn't have flattered them. As appalling as Saturdays showing was, that was actually worse. Thoroughly outfought and outplayed.

Can't wait for the manager to moan about fixture congestion when they've just played themselves into 2 extra European games. The club owes refunds to all the Blues that travelled all that way to see that "effort" from the club.

 

[Blue Hefner]

A disaster
However, we’ll beat Galatasaray, no problem and we’ll be fine. Even if it’s a play off, we’ll be seeded

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Donna the only one showing passion, even after the final whistle

 

[Bluemoon115]

Brain dead players and management.

We're worse than a year ago.

 

[RiversideBlue]

Last Saturday's game was dog shit but this....

 

[BlueBlood81]

Played well LOL

 

[Bozo]

Pep has the nerve to moan at the ref after that???????? Take a look in the mirror. Fuck off.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.

 

[Ajm1985]

Worst performance under Pep.

Nah not as bad as Saturday

 

[DTKOAG]

I’m sadly starting to think we might need a change.

 

[AlthamBlue]

Saturday: Terrible, we can’t possibly be any worse.

Today: Hold my beer.

Truly fucking awful. If we’re planning for life after Pep, may as well start now.

 

[Ric]

Well, that was absolutely horrific.

 

[Bluemoonie92]

At least we win on possession again, right!? Fucking sick of watching the same shit every game. 5 goals, shit ton of offside goals and posts hit in 2 games. Can't wait to do the exact same on saturday. 2 fucking years and its the exact same

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

I would never call for Pep’s job. He’s earned the right to go out when and how he wants.


That said, I think it’s fair to wonder if time has run its course. I’ve always been in the camp that players matter a lot more than tactics—especially for us since the takeover, when more often than not our players have been much better than the opposition’s—but this is currently shambolic. We can’t press. We can’t play out from the back. The players look so disinterested and low on confidence that it’s fair to wonder if he’s even lost the dressing room. I could go on and on.

Congrats to Bodo Glimt. Yes, they benefited from some errors of Max, but they attacked and defended a hell of a lot better than us, and we were fortunate not concede more.

 

[jamielowndes]

The kit looks great under floodlights in UCL games.

I'm really struggling for anything else positive.

 

[drthingy]

Bring on wolves

 

[Stelea]

We need more players obviously, how anyone could put a semblance of a coherent team together with our squad...

Sign more shit like what we have spent the last 500m on

 

[journolud]

Can't wait till Saturday
