I agree with that. We just need to be within touching distance of the opposition and then a massive january is needed. We were always going to lose these fixtures, the manner and errors have been concerning but we were fucked against these.

We’re down until we show any ability tbh. No matter who we sign we’ve won one game all season, if come the end of January we’ve won another 3 or so then I’ll start believing we can stay up but this lot have spent far too long lazing about and collecting a pay check, and many were likely not good enough prior to loafing about anyway.

I think we’ve looked ok barring some moments of insanity. The only thing is we basically gifted them a 2-0 lead so City have just been in first gear since then, and we’ve still failed to lay a glove while simultaneously making errors at the back. This highlights how ridiculous the claims of our takeover ruining the league are, this shows how absurd the league currently is.

Ridiculously easy that. Murphy way too weak there, he should have been aggressive forcing his man out to touch but just let him through.

I’ve heard Rafa wants him, we’re trying to get Digne as part exchange. If we are able to pull that off I’ll be way less worried about other transfer decisions.

Our defenders really can’t be fucking chewed with this can they

Matt Ritchie with perhaps the most insane closing down of a player in history there. Sprints full pelt from the LB position to the edge of their area, the player then just shifts to the side leaving us wide open for the counter.

Good reaction save, glad our two cbs didn’t bother challenging for the ball. Why would you try and get close to their number 9?

No way did Joelinton just hold Mahrez off, play a one two so he could bomb down the pitch and then turn Rodri inside out there man. Who the fuck is this new player.

Will ASM exhibit more signs of cowardice?

Watching those goals again, Clark even ducks what a fucking waste of space man.

Mind I love how he phrased it “Newcastle can perhaps feel a little unlucky” “I think he has perhaps taken Fraser out there” over footage of a player being taken out by another player in as clear a way as possible. Why do they have to try and sit on some fence? It was a stone fucking wall penalty and Fraser was completely wiped out.

The center of the pitch for us is a fucking nightmare. Not that the flanks are in great shape, but these CBs and CMs are just completely incapable and every single one of them have insane fuck ups in them every game.

We need Hayden to just fly through Rodri when the ball isn’t near them both second half. Apparently that wouldn’t be an infringement.

Aye why does the commentator keep saying that? Also he was right next to the ball chasing the player down who knows what might have happened? There is no fucking point to VAR if that’s not overturned for a clear and obvious error ffs.

How is that not a pen

Willock and Hayden were fucking pathetic there btw. Cancelo just walked past them both.

On the attack anyway…..

We’re actually playing well here. Making that ridiculous fuck up even more frustrating.

Aye, that’s definitely a position that suits him more in this league.

Oh aye I agree Dubravka isn’t blameless. I just mean a competent defender isn’t leaving any chance there, Dubravka should have come and grabbed the ball too but Clark absolutely can’t just assume that’s what will happen. The clash where Wilson got hurt there showed how it should be done imo, the defender went for it and Ederson clattered them both.

As a defender if you have any doubt whatsoever you clear that, you can’t let it pass over your head and into the 6 yard area unless you are sure your keeper is calling for it. You see it all the time where a defender has cleared a ball a keeper has blatantly been calling for. Clark deserves the lion share of the blame.

Willock giving away yet ANOTHER needless free kick around the box. He’s a better bet for that than Colback used to be.

That’s on Howe mind. Why the fuck does he keep picking the bloke? He’s shown exactly why he shouldn’t be selected every single time Howe has played him . Dubravka deserves some blame but he rightly thought Clark had that, he probably should have assumed since it’s Clark he’d have somehow fucked it up and clattered through him but any competent defender would have nodded that one clear.

What the fuck were our lot doing?
