Newcastle (a) post-match thread

[Corky]

3 x £50m players lost all their value after 2/3 years and turning into a liability.

Lacked both imagination and application today, and as usual only 3 players made a gesture to the fans at the end, the manager and the rest continued to not give a fuck.

I's probably been mentioned but where was Walker for their first goal and what was he doing?

He was playing in midfield today,pep doesn't half complicate things

At the start of last season I thought it would be very difficult to retain the PL title after the effort of a 100 point season and winning the Carabao cup as well. How wrong I was proved. But I thought this season it would be much harder still to keep the intensity and motivation of those two unrivalled seasons. I didn't see the first half today but what I saw in the second was a team that simply can't find the spark that lit up the last two campaigns, but it isn't through lack of effort, and at the moment it is all the players who are affected. It may well be that the title has gone, though we won't give up and we'll make Liverpool win it, but some of the defeatist trash posted on here is disgraceful. It will be interesting to see how many points we have by the end of the season because we can't surely believe 100 points a season is expected and demanded. And then we can see how many points Liverpool get, and how many they get courtesy of officiating, and in particular VAR. In the meantime we can get back to supporting the team and stop blaming the best manager the world has ever seen and the best team in English top flight history.

Me neither pal just think its more deep routed than Diniho not playing CDM.
The teams selected for Nowich, Newcastle away and Wolves at home should offer more than 1 point.

I agree cookster. If people think a 34 year old returning to central midfield is the answer to why forwards cannot take simple chances,defenders cannot defend then they are missing the deeper issues .

Which players?

Mean more to me too. With this squad of average players and piss poor signings it will be some achievement.

Wow just wow!!!
Shakes head, shuts off computer, goes to pub.

People complain about our general lack of movement and penetration in attack. Then want Sterling sold - the one guy who consistently produces great movement. This City team without Sterling in it would be joining Rags, Arsenal and Spurs in a decline to the Europa League. He is our shining light, the ray of hope every match that we might get behind our opponent.

Said after Norwich this kind of result will be the norm for the foreseeable future and I’m gitted to be proved right. Not good enough all over the pitch and for the first time in 3 and a half years there’s question marks over the manager as he keeps sending them out to play the same old tired way which is almost a carbon copy of the pellegrini later years at the minute. I don’t expect it to suddenly improve anytime soon either without an active tactical change. Fully expect More games of getting away with it mixed with getting exactly what we deserve like today.

They are.

Jesus wept, there really is a faction of our fan base that have become utterly spoilt ****s. The reaction not only today but this season is truely pathetic.
