Newcastle (H) post match thread

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

That has been a problem. We get used to cruising then (like WBA) and can't step up. A bit more 3rd gear and get more than one up then use subs sooner.

It’s a bit like peps first season, he doesn’t have the personnel for what he is trying to implement, in my opinion

we are a couple of players away from being right at it, with the left fullback position persisting as a problem. We can paper over it against the Newcastle’s of this world but get heavily exposed by top class opposition....

A great melting pot of a squad but definite deficiencies...

How are we not in the title race?

Because our attacking output still isn't there. Unless Kun can get back to his best and play consistently until the end of the season, we're in a top 4 race.

Just found Darke and Macmanaman’s research pack for commentating on City games

View attachment 7193

Darke does it every game he ever commentates with City, he can't mention a City player without mentioning the fee, it's fucking painful to listen to.

Am I allowed to say Steve Bruce seems a nice bloke?

NO !!!

Give Dinho a five year deal for Christmas - even at 40 he'll be more useful than Rodri.

Noteable that we improved our passing pace/movement after dihno came on.....with aguero on we started to look more like our old selves as well

Cancello was excellent - walker might get an extended stay on the sidelines if that carries on

I thought our 60 million man played well as did our 40.2 million one. Not so sure about our 55 million one but 30 million for the other guy was well worth it. A little unsure on our manager, not knocking his tactics but those clothes weren't worth what he paid for them.

Oh and can anyone tell me how much we paid for Bernado as for some reason Darke failed to mention it.

You forgot that all of our players are "superstars" mate.

Tut tut tut.

Three tough away games now. We will need all the squad ready and firing for a big push to break the back of our season over the next 10 days. Minimum four points from Everton and Chelsea needed if we are to mount a title challenge, preferably six, and a semi final win over the odd lot. Then rest them and play the youngsters and those who need minutes in the FA Cup. We then have a kinder run of games for the remainder of January

Two disappointments

Whether it was Foden or another, the third substitution should have been made far sooner

Our finishing!


But overall a very convincing and comfortable victory
