[PL] Newcastle Utd (A): Match Thread

[Gazmo1]

Absolutely ****ing awful today. You can't go smashing sides and then come out and play like this. Offsides and disallowed goals shouldn't come into it. We should have nobbed these cunts in the first 20 mins.

Benteke needs to be sold as he offers nothing to this team. We need the quick movement from the front three. Not a great lumbering donkey up top.

Losing Ings has had a big effect. Who bought Benteke - Rodgers or the infamous 'committee'?

Without Coutinho we don't seem to have a reliable pattern of attack. Still been one of those days though, and OG against, a good goal disallowed...just need a red card now to cap the day.

[Leyton388]

Was Rodgers Iirc.

[McDermotX]

Just not enough power on Dejan's effort there.

[rudedog]

shot on target!

88 mins though

[Exiled_red]

Lovren should do better with that, it looked a free header

[Gibbo]

Up front Skrtel.

[Leyton388]

3 home wins in their last 17.

That tells you everything you need to know about today.

[Tribute]

You can't play the ball backwards when you're in the 90th minute and losing one-nil. FFS.

[Tatterdemalion]

I'm going back to bed. Cya.

Want to get a head start on the traffic?

[Lecter]

We are far too inconsistent to win the Prem (and IMO be in the top four). Today's been a reality check!

The thing for me is we probably have a good enough side to get top 4 when they are fit

When those players aren't fit we have to rely on players who just aren't good enough

The reality is you don't have you players fit every game so you end up relying on those squad players a number of games this season

We were poor v Swansea and have been poor today

[danperkins]

The delivery from the wide areas is embarrassing

[Exiled_red]

How is that not a foul on Skrtel?

[McDermotX]

Nice top mate.
