[Psychedelic Casual]

I replied to this in KDB thread bloke was sat two rows behind me!!! Absolute disgrace of a fan… I get he gave the ball away but what followed was unacceptable.. I agree walker has been poor and was poor today and I’m not surprised if he was to leave I think it might be the best for all parties at the minute as his confidence is shot

The last thing anyone needs when they’re in the doldrums is direct shit from fans in the stand or on social media. Thankfully, it was just one guy. He was not backed by anyone around him.

I’ll always back the players in that situation. I did twice when Kolarov didn’t for loads of fans ironically cheering when Bravo made a save.

Just watching MOTD and the analysis of Newcastle’s midfield, everything we are missing. 3 midfielders dominating the central area, up and down the pitch all close together working in tandem.

Even after we’ve been deducted 800?

Ahh - never thought of that haha.

 

[M Gaudino]

Are we back?

No. we’ve beaten two teams who might go down.

If we dont sign a central midfielder and a right back in January then we riot.

Walker’s career was ended by Adama Traore on 5th October 2024. It will be remembered by the city fans for his solid period of service and it will be dearly missed. RIP.

A welcome win and 2 on the bounce but it’s a City side unrecognisable at the moment and as far removed from a Pep team as you could imagine.

Some players races have been ran and they will go and be replaced as they look like they have lead boots on.

Moaning fuckers when we lose and moaning fuckers when we win can’t believe some fannies on here.

Well we all moan at home
and we all moan away
we moaned last week
and again to day
now Pep's joined in to our dismay
MCFC ok.

So good going forward at times today, yet so poor defensiveley at times with this crazy high line with players who simply cannot recover the ground.
I thought Savio was excellent today and Haaland got the service he craves hence the 2 goals.
Other positives were putting Bernie in the middle and I thought Foden looked a bit better.
We are in desperate need of at least 2 world class midfielders and a defender. The gaps in the middle on the overload were frightening and as soon as Kova and Ake went off if reminded me of the Feyenord game.
Let's not dress it up, West Ham had 5 clear cut chances today. On another day a better team with a decent front man puts them 1 or 2 up and it's a different game completeley. Gundo and Walker came on and it was like playing with 9 men they were that bad.I get pissed off with the lack of game time McAtee is getting. He deserves a run and I will be pissed if he gets sold before we get to see him in the team. Literally felt West Ham would get another goal or 2 in the remaining 25 mins. Still 3 points, and continues the unbeaten run. So much work and surgery needed over the next 6 months but looking forward to it.
Onto Salford at home

With legs. Would be nice to have.

Those 3 midfielders, along with Livramento, Gordon and Isak, would walk into our starting XI.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Such a strange game /performance. Uncharacteristic punts forward by Kev and Bernie, poor passing and then going against Pep wishes and going for it on the break, instead of slowing up possession.

It was so refreshing hitting a team on the break like we used to. It means Erl can get that inch of space he needs.
I don't really understand the tactics I'm watching for the first time.
