We are now getting dismantled by Newcastle....So deluded.![]()
We are now getting dismantled by Newcastle....So deluded.![]()
We expected to give them a game, rather than play at training tempo and walk though our midfield at will.I'm confused. Did people expect to beat Newcastle today?
His predecessor is the reason our squad is so fecking awful in the first placeHis predecessor who was fairly terrible himself did much better
We didn’t under ETH?We are now getting dismantled by Newcastle....
We are bad in attack fair enough, but we play 7 defensive players and still crap defensively.It basically is this bad. We have a shite keeper, no striker who can consistently stick the ball in the net, and strikingly few players who are currently in their prime. The few peak age players we do have are also typically injury prone.
Honestly, Richard Arnold, John Murtough, and Erik ten Hag could not have done a better job of absolutely fecking ruining this squad. It's criminal how stupid they were.
But hold on.Give him a full summer window and decide after he’s had the benefit of a full league season instead of being forcibly parachuted in mid season and expected to work miracles with half a squad of unsuitable players.
But its not though. This is apparently all part of building towards next season, thats how it was sold. When we lose it can't just become meaningless. It has to be a reality of the situation.
It's the manner of the loss, 2 shots in the 2nd half and conceding 2 goals from individual mistakes is not the manner we should be losing. These are mistakes which are avoidable, yet our players still repeat them.Exactly. I’m not sure what people expected. Losing to them was pretty inevitable.
We had Valdes as well no?Well both our GKs are absolutely toss. How did we go from having Romero as a #2 to these 2 clowns being our only choice.
Oh come on, expecting better than this is not expecting miracles.Give him a full summer window and decide after he’s had the benefit of a full league season instead of being forcibly parachuted in mid season and expected to work miracles with half a squad of unsuitable players.
It's the reality.And?
Exactly. It’s on the players. They’re not good enough. I’m just tired of us being endlessly shit.It's the manner of the loss, 2 shots in the 2nd half and conceding 2 goals from individual mistakes is not the manner we should be losing. These are mistakes which are avoidable, yet our players still repeat them.
We have looked toothless in this second half also, it's just not good enough. I can handle losing 1-0/2-1 if we'd have caused them problems, but we haven't in the second half.
One thing I have to question Amorim on is why the feck he keeps playing Lindelof and Eriksen when they're leaving in June. Like, what are you expecting them to rip up trees with 2 months left on their contracts?
I dont get it.
Because the squad Ten Hag left is horrificWe expected to give them a game, rather than play at training tempo and walk though our midfield at will.
Formation and set up is wank and every team has an easy ride just Newcastle are clinical.
Performance still matter. Calling it a meaningless loss is sweeping it under the carpet.It’s a meaningless loss. It doesn’t affect us in the league, so there’s no point in overthinking what would’ve been an expected away result to an in form side with everything to play for.
Well there's not, thats why they're the bottom three.If he goes out on Thursday I'm not sure where my head will be at. We sit 3 points from being the fourth from bottom side. He's coached us the majority of the season and if there was a capable side in that bottom three we'd be going down.
I’d have to put Fernandes as the striker. It’s far from ideal and we will be missing a lot in midfield, but he’s the only one who can score goalsZirkzee being out is worrying for Thursday
Exactly. I mean I would take all our #2 GKs over the last 20 years to the current lot. We have the worst recruitment team in all of Europe and I could do a better job of it based on just FIFA ratings.We had Valdes as well no?
Only one who can create them too thats the problemI’d have to put Fernandes as the striker. It’s far from ideal and we will be missing a lot in midfield, but he’s the only one who can score goals
By Newcastle? I agree we did but this just feels worse.We didn’t under ETH?
I don't think anyone would be concerned if we just got tonked by Newcastle. But this is half of the games he's managedBy Newcastle? I agree we did but this just feels worse.
Yes by Newcastle and this was not worseBy Newcastle? I agree we did but this just feels worse.

ETH took a lot of beatings, really bad onesI don't think anyone would be concerned if we just got tonked by Newcastle. But this is half of the games he's managed
Nothing will work with these players.I’m not sure this is going to work.
Reset this reset. It’s going to take too many players for this to work. Then the question is does it even work with the new players.
