The Intelligent, Resolute, Vigorous, Angelic Geordie Boys vs Lester

[Anorthernsoul 1221]

I fucking hate that little Jap bastard.

[Monroe Transfer 0]

[craigc 1]

Benitez will be gone soon, he ain't gonna hang about with no money to spend and Ashley ain't gonna give him it

 

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

I'm usually the first to defend his team selections but leaving Shelvey out and in particular Lascelles is fucking bizarre behaviour. You'd think we'd been defending well in his absence and that he needs to force his way back in.

[Howay 12496]

That Ndidi has got away with fucking murder here like, how he doesn’t even have a booking in this game is shocking. 

[Rayvin 5175]

It is what it is, let's not worry overly. Still plenty of the season ahead, plenty of time to strengthen in January. Ashley isn't going to risk us going down.

You really believe what you're saying?

Or maybe he’s just not fully fit?

 

Still no excuse for not starting Mitro, Shelvey or Atsu. It’s not like we’ve been playing well without them.

Let's not worry? Have you seen their form?

He isn't going to more than double our transfer record to bring in a capable striker. Which is the absolute minimum one will cost.

Aye, if there’s one thing we know about Ashley it’s that he recognises the need to invest.  

[Kid Dynamite 6986]

What a pack of cunts man

 

How many times did we have men over on them in the box only for our player to fall over or run straight into someone. First XI is packed full of championship players

[Dr Gloom 21809]

Totally gutted. Thought we deserved something out of that

He's selling though. Different this time I would think.

Going down again

He should get in that back line half fit. Even if he didn't see the game out, fucking hell. When was our last clean sheet?

[zerosum 234]

disappointing

If there’s a chance of the injury recurring then there’s no sense in risking him unless we’re forced into it.

[StoneColdStephenIreland 74]

This Clark/Lejeune partnership just isn't working. It's need shot.

It costs him money every time we’re relegated regardless if we’re up for sale. There will be money to spend in January but none of it is coming out of Ashley’s pocket or being externally financed.

[Graing 15]

Ditto that for the Ashley - Newcastle relationship.

It is what it is then I guess. Still don't think we'll go down though.

They are shocking together, both of them have zero confidence and have lost their head. Lejeune's best quality is his composure and he's lost it. Switching off and giving stupid fouls away all over. Clark definitely needs dropped, he's had a nightmare month.

[ewerk 30238]

All ten outfield players were Rafa signings btw...

Can't see why he'd make the bench ahead of Mbemba if that was the case.
