How is it possible to be this delusional? Dude got what, maybe 3 passes to his feet in total? As usual he spends the game chasing 30/70 balls in the air. How can you make any assessment based on that? Are you's even watching the game(s)?!

The WC was the biggest stage at the time. In some ways it still is, even though CL is on par/eclipsed it today. It's all about showing up on the BIGGEST stage.

Ehh.. bit of a tiring topic. Found myself getting indifferent during the season. It's the usual very, perhaps extremely talented player who for whatever reason, dropped off. We know it's not a physical drop. Who knows whats going on in his head, other than not being committed to us for some...

Any manager worth his salt, knows that a "few bad eggs" can drag a whole team down. In any line of work. Thats literally what that saying implies. When could Rangnick ship anybody out? What is Rangnick advocating in regards to players leaving? I'd say he's been pretty damn clear.

Of course it's a factor, certainly not a bedrock. Again, no manager can spend time motivating a player, who isn't up for it. A manager gives you an extra push. If you aren't self motivated, there's nothing a manager can do. We see this again and again.. What happened to Dele Alli, Hazard and...

Tbf no matter at what stage in life, you cant afford spending time motivating people, to do the bare minimum. Not in sports, not in a regular job or anywhere. The motivating factor is a sprinkle on top, that extra juice. These players arent doing shit. The lack of effort is well documented both...

Lots of madness in this thread. It’s a team game. Dude was isolated to a fukn T. Very, very few players can create without any type of support or movement around them. Most of the game he gets the ball, surrounded by 2-3 opposition players, without anyone in sight. Where is the receiver, where...

Its only that amount if we are to be delusional enough, to think we’ll challenge for the title immediately. Way too many people are still just that, delusional. It doesn’t matter how many years we’ve been in a rebuild. It hasnt fukn worked. We are still there, ground zero. We need a manager, a...

We are a nothing team. This lot throws the towel at first resistance. No style can fix a broken mentality. Some will prosper elsewhere, but they’ll never mount anything together. Thats the only thing we need to accept. Im still in disbelief at the lack of ruthlessness. This comes from the top...

Anybody putting this on Ragnick is a fool. The players arent up for it. He’s the caretaker of a broken team and it shows.

Newcastle has a looong way to go. Just look at us.. throwing money about isnt enough.

One of the games greatest player and winner, of all time. Comes out and confirms what many of us has been thinking. Even if it isnt, what the feck makes you think, YOU know better? Dude could be an over the hill liability, who gives a feck. If anyone knows anything bout a winning mentality, its...

Time to realise, something is rotten in this squad. There is a lot of potential, which probably fooled us all. Horrible attitude. Clean out, bite the bullet. We aren't the first, nor last club with mishandled fortunes. Wage structure & transfer dealings have been horrid, for a long time. The...

Only one game, don’t want to get carried away. But it was damn refreshing seeing an actual team. A team with an idea on how to play, in defence, transition and attack. Im certainly believing a top4 finish is possible. But most importantly I want the team to continue progression. I’d rather see...

Should start with Varane. He’s consistently outperformed Maguire. The difference in perceived ballplaying ability is crazy.. Much like Fred. Who knew, passing is dependant on movement and availability on the receiving end :eek::lol:
