We were shit, but we absolutely can expect to be getting swept aside by a squad and a team like theirs for a while to come. Anyone who thinks we should be turning up and matching them blow for blow is kidding themselves. I don't disagree with that. That's what I mean by saying we're overachieving and aren't really a CL side yet. But the manner in which we suddenly fall off is concerning. And not just against City. Fulham and Bournemouth were the same and it was clear from the start in those games we were not showing up and were in for a poor defeat. Earlier on in the season we were just as inconsistent. Last season we had fatigue and injuries to blame. This time it's just like we go completely missing. Today should have been a LOT better. I don't see the point in disguising that. Almost everyone has given them proper games in the last few months and we've faced them off the back of a massive midweek fixture and given them an easier game than they could have dreamed off. That's the galling part. They just gave to brush it off and try and get something against Forrest. I'm concerned what this run will do to confidence before the final. Other than that if Howe manages another CL finish he deserves a medal because our natural position is probably 7th or 8th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4583 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Schar like Trippier another one whose age seems to have caught up suddenly. We can't start next season with him as first choice if we have any ambition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like little Clapham when you walk around the northern quarter now, I know it’s rich coming from me from Boro. But anyone who has a clue moves out of boro obviously. One of my best mates down here is mad city, always has been but doesn’t go anymore. Hasn’t since they changed stadium, that’s my worry for our fans in future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly think me and my eldest were more arsed about Heaton Stan getting their third win on the bounce and moving 4 points clear of relegation in the Northern Premier League East Division today than NUFC getting beat. I do care about Newcastle of course and I would love to see us win something. And I’m far from fanatical when it comes to Heaton Stan either. I just feel very detached at times and accept a loss like today with a shrug of the shoulders. Everything is so sanitised 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1340 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 That was the kind of performance we put in at Wembley. Half effort and punished heavily for it. The league is all over this year really with teams turning each over. The lack of consistency from almost everyone else has meant it's become very tight. I'm even starting to get concerned about Everton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to have stinker performances, away at Man City is a great place to have them. Unfortunately it's not only away at financial super clubs that we have such games. For me it brings home how far behind we still are. Their depth is magnitudes ahead of ours and yet they were still able to bring in top quality players to plug the gaps from injuries. The biggest concern for me is that if the remainder of our season stutters along and we finish outside of meaningful European places then we'll find ourselves stagnating and quite possibly even regressing. Whilst we've potentially set ourselves up to have the best chance to improve our squad over the summer if we can't offer European football we'll struggle to attract the right calibre of player. Plus we'll face extreme levels of unsettling speculation about Isak and potentially others (Tonali, Bruno). If we do sell even if we get good prices there's absolutely no guarantee that we'll spend wisely. Winning the League Cup would be absolutely brilliant, but with this performance surely our confidence drops. We have a similar game coming up at Anfield. If we are beaten as comprehensively there then the self belief will inevitably recede further. The results of the cup also won't impact our ability to attract players as it only guarantees Europa Conference League play-offs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets me is some of the comments you sometimes see from the current matchgoers. I'd rather slice my Japs eye with a rusty blade than share a stadium with the cunts. They've done the hard yards apparently and we haven't. Some boys, them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 36145 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The next step is stepping away from it all together. Wtf am I getting radged up about when we get beat or have a chance of winning? I've usually went back when they've needed my support after relegation etc. Not any more, get the superstar social media 'guys' to do that. Always wondered why fifty year old blokes didn't go any more when I was around 18-20, their reasons were probably myriad but maybe the likes who went with no no fences, no violence, no bullshit but genuine trophy chances had enough with dipshits like me and my mates? It's went full circle with different circumstances but now I'm the one thinking 'fuck this'. I'll stick to old YouTube clips from the good old/shit old days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
