Fulham Fumblers vs. Newcastle Nest Invaders

[Dazzler 8514]

Howe has aged about 10 years in 6 months too. Something feels very wrong at the minute.

You do have to wonder where a lot of the attacking patterns have disappeared to. They look like strangers and, for the first time I can remember under Howe, players don’t have an option when they have the ball. Fulham have a plan and they’ve executed it well but there’s been no response from us at all. Except to take it up the hole

[Dazzler 8514]

60% of the ball. Presumably all in our own half.

Lack of effort was not something I ever thought we'd complain about with this team. 

A problem with the high intensity play is that is just takes one or two players not pulling their weight for the rest to stop bothering as well. We've only had a spell of 10-15 minutes of high intensity cohesive Howe Newcastle football this season (from the start against Wolves last week). If this is our new style it's going to be a long ugly season.

Murphy coming on for someone.

I genuinely think this new fitness bloke has got something to do with the teams energy and fitness.  He is pissing on the way Eddie plays.

It's why I'd bring Almiron on to link up with Bruno and Trippier, plus you know Almiron generally brings a high intensity even if he does frustrate with his final ball.

Ok get in

Kelly is a CB so id not judge him until he gets a run there.

Every LB in the squad is fit aren't they? We are looking sick if he's our best option there 

[Gemmill 42667]

Get in. 

[toonotl 2836]

Barnes is lethal. Come on. Great start. Fuckers.

[Holden McGroin 6254]

Great play by Murphy. What an inspired sub !

Eddie has been super positive about him. Not enough CIVIL WAR if you ask me.

VAR? 
 

Great start to 2nd half if it stands. 

[Dazzler 8514]

Murphy with ANOTHER assist. Imagine if he was good

[GrahamTaylor5 816]

Amazing from Murphy. Exactly what we have been missing, a bit of intensity

[Holden McGroin 6254]

Oh. Offside check.

 

he is off.

[aimaad22 3978]

Thank feck for the offside check 

[Dazzler 8514]

Onside. Gerrin.

Murphy doing something insane like breaking a sweat 

[Howmanheyman 31626]

Get in!

 

Howay, get into 'em, they're shitting themselves, man!

[NJS 4256]

It's that easy lads... 

[thebrokendoll 8655]

fuck off var

[Gemmill 42667]

Confident he would have been off with the semi automated system there. With some bong eyed cunt drawing lines, you've always got a chance.
